There are many ways in which patients of the Jupiter, FL area can improve their appearance. Whether you see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon, there are several options available for patients who are interested in enhancing their face, body, or skin. Patients who struggle with a prominent double chin, or “submental fullness,” may be interested in learning more about non-surgical ways of slimming their chin and neck area such as Kybella injections.
Kybella is a specialized injection that uses deoxycholic acid to reduce fat deposits underneath the chin that contributes to the development of submental fullness. Instead of using liposuction to remove the fat, this is a more natural and gradual process that eliminates invasive procedures. Many patients love the ability to undergo injections over the course of several months to achieve the results they might otherwise require surgery for. This makes Kybella a popular treatment for most men and women who visit the practice of Beer Dermatology for answers.
At Beer Dermatology, we only provide treatments that we are experienced in offering and that have received FDA clearance and approval. Kybella has been cleared by the FDA as an efficient treatment for submental fullness and continues to be used by men and women to reduce fat under the chin and improve overall self-confidence.
With each injection treatment, patients will notice a reduction in the amount of fat in the area over several months. Patients might come in several weeks apart to have more injections done and to assess the body’s reaction to the injectable. No two patients are the same, but many of our patients will benefit from four or five treatment sessions spaced three to four weeks apart. Additional treatments can be performed as needed later if patients need to see more improvement.
We recommend that patients keep up with an active and healthy lifestyle to maintain their results. The fat cells that are treated during this time will not be replaced, though the fat cells remaining in the area can become larger with weight gain. This can cause submental fullness to return. We strongly encourage patients to follow the doctor’s recommendations to enjoy the results from Kybella injections as long as possible.
Dr. Kenneth Beer and his team at Beer Dermatology can help patients determine if they are a good fit for Kybella injections. During a consultation appointment at 641 University Boulevard, Ste. #212, new and established patients can find out if they meet candidacy for this or other dermatological services available at our state-of-the-art practice. We can be reached by calling (561) 430-2767 to book a visit with our team.
