KYBELLA in Central City, KY

If you are unhappy with the way your profile looks under your chin, your dentist in Central City, KY may have a solution for you. A revolutionary new treatment is available. KYBELLA® is the sole FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. In Central City, KY, KYBELLA® is available at David S. Morehead Family Dentistry.

How Does KYBELLA® Work?

KYBELLA® kills fat cells in the fat beneath the chin when injected, leading to a visible decrease in fullness under the chin. Synthetic deoxycholic acid is the active component in KYBELLA®. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally-occurring chemical in the body that helps in dietary fat breakdown and absorption. Because these cells can no longer store or build fat once they’ve been eliminated, you won’t need any further therapy once you’ve achieved your aesthetic goal.

How Long Does it Take to See Results?

KYBELLA® is not available everywhere. Only a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare professional can deliver treatment. You can get KYBELLA® in Central City, KY at David S. Morehead Family Dentistry. During the treatment, you will receive many tiny injections under your chin. The entire treatment process takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Approximately 4-6 weeks after treatment, the results are visible.

The number of treatments vary from patient to patient, due to the fact that everyone’s chin profile is distinct. Based on the amount and distribution of submental fat, as well as your unique treatment objectives, your dental professional will help you decide how many therapy sessions you’ll need. Each Kybella therapy session is spaced out by at least one month.

What are Some KYBELLA® Side Effects?

Side effects from KYBELLA® are mild. You may have swelling, bruising, or numbness beneath your chin after KYBELLA® therapy. Moderate pain is common, and it can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. An over-the-counter painkiller usually works well. It’s possible that swelling and bruising will linger for up to four weeks. Your dentist will give you information for what side effects to look for.

The majority of side effects are transient and go away on their own. The following are the most prevalent side effects that occur in the treatment area:

• Swelling\Bruising
• Pain\Numbness
• Redness
• Tingling
• Itching
• Sensation of tightness of the skin
• Headache

After the treatment and recovery period has ended, you will be amazed at the transformation. If you were bothered by the way your profile looked before, you’ll be very happy to see a much younger-looking profile under the chin area.
