Kybella has revolutionized the way we think about double chins, offering a non-invasive solution that seems almost too good to be true. But just how long does Kybella really last, and what can you do to ensure its effects linger as long as possible?
In this blog post, we’ll discuss Kybella longevity and provide some top tips for maintaining your perfect profile.
Understanding the Science
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin. It works by destroying fat cells, and once those cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat.
How Long Does Kybella Really Last?
Now for the question at hand: How long does Kybella really last?
Kybella doesn’t necessarily have an expiration date, but its effects are influenced by several factors. This includes your individual biology, lifestyle, and the number of sessions you received initially.
For many, Kybella provides a permanent reduction of the double chin! That’s because the injected area is no longer a prime spot for bulking up. However, untreated fat cells in adjacent areas can still expand if you significantly alter your diet or other habits.
4 Tips for Prolonging Kybella Results
1. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
Though Kybella offers a break from the burden of a double chin, there’s no substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
Accordingly, good nutrition and regular exercise are key to keeping the rest of your body in shape. As such, a balanced approach will also contribute to maintaining your Kybella results.
2. Stay Steady with Your Weight
Fluctuating weight can affect the longevity of your results. While the body won’t regenerate the fat cells destroyed, it can increase the size of other existing fat cells. This can lead to a less defined jawline.
3. Be Consistent With Sessions
Depending on your individual needs, a series of 4-6 sessions may be necessary. It’s important to follow your injector’s recommended treatment plan and stay consistent with scheduling treatments.
4. Hydrate and Protect Your Skin
Proper hydration and skincare go a long way in maintaining the health of your skin, which can, in turn, support the effects of your treatment.
