Refining Your Profile: Permanent Fat Reduction in the Bay Area
Sometimes, no matter how much time we spend running the trails in Seabrook or staying active outdoors, there are certain areas of stubborn fat that simply refuse to budge. For many of us, that area is right under the chin. This pocket of fat can make us feel like we look older or heavier than we actually are, and it is often something that diet and exercise alone cannot address.
At Skin and Soul Med Spa, we believe in providing solutions that help you feel confident in your own skin. That is why we offer Kybella, a specialized injectable designed specifically to target and permanently destroy fat cells under the chin.
How Kybella Works
The science behind Kybella is actually based on something your body already does. It uses a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps the body break down and absorb dietary fat.
When we inject this into the area under the chin, it goes to work destroying the membranes of the fat cells. Once those cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. Your body then naturally processes and eliminates the treated cells over the following weeks. Because those cells are physically destroyed, the results are permanent. Once you reach your aesthetic goal, you likely will not need further treatment.
What to Expect During and After Your Visit
Most of our patients lead pretty active lives, so we try to make the process as straightforward as possible. While the actual injection process is relatively quick, we usually suggest setting aside about an hour for the full appointment so we can ensure you are comfortable and informed every step of the way.
It is important to be prepared for the recovery process. Because the treatment works by triggering your body’s natural elimination process, you will experience some swelling in the treated area. We usually recommend planning for about three days of significant swelling—something to keep in mind if you have a busy weekend planned at the Clear Lake marinas or an event in League City. While it can take up to two weeks for the swelling to fully resolve, it is a sign that the treatment is working exactly as it should.
Most people start to see a dramatic reduction in their profile about four to six weeks after treatment as the body clears away the destroyed fat cells and the area begins to tighten and slim down.
Is Kybella Right for You?
At our Kirby Road office, we take the time to look at your unique facial structure and skin elasticity. During a consultation, we will determine if Kybella is the best path for your goals or if a combination of treatments might serve you better. We are focused on natural results that honor your facial proportions, ensuring that your new, refined profile looks seamless and balanced.
