KYBELLA® in Denver, CO

Even a little bit of extra fat in the upper neck area can create the presence of a "double chin," which can feel embarrassing to both women and men. The additional pockets of fat under the chin (or the submental area) happens for a variety of reasons, including aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics. This may cause a softer jawline and chin, which creates an undefined profile. At Mountain Med Spa, Dr. Rock Navarkal is pleased to offer a revolutionary method that eliminates neck fat. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), KYBELLA is the first nonsurgical treatment for submental fat. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid (DA), which works similarly to the body's natural DA to break down and absorb fat cells. After it's injected under the chin, you can see a decrease in the amount of fat. When the fat is destroyed, the cells will not regenerate so you can enjoy your new slim profile and defined jawline for years to come.

A myriad Denver, CO patients have a hard time enjoying their profile and chin. KYBELLA injections at our Denver, CO facility may help create a chin you are comfortable about, as well as additional advantages like:

• Minimal recovery time following treatment
• Noninvasive alternative to surgical procedures
• Brief appointments that go together with your packed lifestyle
• Fast-acting results that give you the chin appearance you've always dreamed of

The ideal patients for KYBELLA injectable treatments have additional fat in the upper throat (submental area), which creates a double chin or unwanted volume. KYBELLA treats stubborn neck fat that is difficult to lose with the usual techniques because of genetics or aging. If you are near a healthy weight, but diet and exercise have not eliminated the fat in your submental area, KYBELLA can help you attain your cosmetic goals. While KYBELLA works well on small to moderate pockets of fat in the upper neck, removing larger pockets of fat may require surgical neck liposuction.

We will complete your treatment in one of our private and spacious procedure rooms. As you relax on a comfortable treatment chair, a member of our team will clean your skin and apply a numbing cream. Once your skin is completely numb, KYBELLA is injected into the neck. Because KYBELLA doesn't require anesthesia so you can leave when you feel ready and resume your daily activities.

Following your procedure, you may notice swelling, numbness, or bruising below your chin. However, these symptoms should subside in 2 – 3 days. If you feel any unusual side effects, please call Mountain Med Spa immediately! Side effects can include difficulty swallowing, facial muscle weakness, or uneven facial expressions. Eliminated neck fat does not regenerate; however, the remaining cells can grow larger. Because of this, we strongly recommend maintaining a steady weight after your KYBELLA treatments. This will prevent new pockets of fat from forming. After the procedure, your neck will look slimmer and tighter, and your profile will appear more defined.

How much does KYBELLA cost?
KYBELLA treatment costs will vary based on the number of sessions you need. During your initial consultation, a personalized plan will be developed to match your goals and budget. A team member can also talk about payment options with you in your first appointment.

How does KYBELLA work?
Deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in KYBELLA, works to break down fat cells in the body. Once the fat cells are eliminated, these fat cells cannot regenerate. This is why additional KYBELLA injections shouldn't be needed as soon as you have reached your desired outcome.

Can KYBELLA be used to treat other areas of the body?
Right now, KYBELLA is only available for treatment of the area below the chin. KYBELLA can effectively minimize the look of a double chin. KYBELLA hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use on any other areas of the body.

Am I eligible for a KYBELLA treatment?
There are a few factors that could make you ineligible to receive a KYBELLA treatment. You need to be over the age of 18 years old, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you should not have any infection at the treatment site. Before the process begins, you are encouraged to share any health concerns and your medical history with your injector so they can decide if you can safely receive the treatment.

How many treatment sessions will I need?
At your consultation, a personalized injection plan will be created to match your goals. Typically, patients get between 2 –4 KYBELLA treatments to achieve their goals. KYBELLA appointments need to be spaced about 30 days apart. You should not receive more than six treatments.

Do KYBELLA results look natural?

Yes, KYBELLA results look completely natural. This is because the fat cells are broken down and absorbed by your body, so there is no change in the structure of your neck or jawline. Your profile will simply appear more sculpted and defined. At Mountain Med Spa, we recommend that you keep a consistent weight and follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain your natural-looking outcomes.
