The face, like the rest of the body, changes over time. From childhood to adulthood and throughout our adult years, we witness aesthetic transformation triggered by structural remodeling. At first, it is the maturing of bones and connective tissues. Then, it is the gradual breakdown of these aspects of the body. We know these changes will happen and still may not be ready for them. Some cosmetic concerns that are typically associated with age can surprise a person by appearing far earlier than expected. A double chin is one of them.
A double chin is technically called submental fullness. This problem may relate to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which causes the skin to loosen. It may relate to weight in some instances. Regardless of the cause of submental fullness, this problem can be resolved easily. Kybella is a popular option for doing so. Here, we discuss why.
- Kybella is an FDA-approved treatment for submental fullness.
Regardless of how badly a person wants to correct a cosmetic concern, they want to know treatment is safe and effective. When it comes to injectables, it is FDA-approval that indicates a standard of success based on thorough clinical testing. Kybella was approved by the FDA in 2015. Before that time, its ingredient deoxycholic acid was a popular treatment in several other countries.
- Kybella is derived from natural ingredients.
Deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in Kybella, is a naturally-occurring chemical. It is an essential aspect of digestion as it is involved in breaking down dietary fat. Understanding the characteristics of deoxycholic acid, researchers sought to find out what the chemical could do if injected into an isolated pocket of fat, such as the double chin. Having performed successfully, deoxycholic acid became a common cosmetic treatment for this concern.
- Kybella destroys fat cells.
There are two ways to sculpt the body. One is to lose weight with diet and exercise. The other is to undergo treatment like liposuction or Kybella. Natural weight loss works by shrinking fat cells across the entire body, including the face. The thing is, natural weight loss doesn’t always target specific problem areas. Fat cells are also still there, only smaller. After Kybella injections, the body systematically eliminates the damaged fat cells forever.
