Why Kybella is Better Than Coolsculpting for Double Chin Reduction

KYBELLA NORTHERN VIRGINIA

A well-defined jawline adds structure to the face, improves a person’s profile, and helps individuals look healthy and youthful. However, both men and women are susceptible to a double chin that can cause them to appear older and heavier than they actually are.

Fortunately, Kybella and CoolSculpting are two non-surgical fat reduction treatments for double chin.

While both procedures can be performed in an office setting, without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime, there are some key differences between them.

In fact, these distinctions often make Kybella are better and more appealing choice for many patients.

Keep reading to learn all about eliminating unwanted fat around your neck and why Kybella is better than CoolSculpting for double chin in Northern Virginia.

WHAT IS KYBELLA AND HOW DOES IT ELIMINATE A DOUBLE CHIN?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that attacks unwanted fat cells under the chin. It is comprised of a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is a substance that’s naturally produced by the body and works to breakdown and absorb dietary fat.

It works by targeting excess fatty tissue and then dissolving its cellular membrane. This causes fat cells to undergo apoptosis (a natural cell death), and the remnants are eliminated by the lymphatic system.

Each Kybella treatment takes just 10-20 minutes and requires zero downtime. For optimal outcomes, most patients require 3-6 sessions.

WHAT IS COOLSCULPTING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat removal procedure that uses its CoolMini applicator to suction fatty tissue and apply extremely cold temperatures (39 degrees F) to it.

Subsequently, ice crystals form inside fat cells, and the fatty tissue is frozen to death. The destroyed cells are then broken down and naturally cleared from the body.

A CoolSculpting double chin treatment takes 45 minutes, and individuals can resume normal activities right away. A series of 1-2 sessions is typically recommended.

WHY KYBELLA IS BETTER THAN COOLSCULPTING FOR DOUBLE CHIN

While both Kybella and CoolSculpting are non-invasive, non-surgical, and zero downtime fat removal procedures, many aesthetic experts believe that Kybella is better than CoolSculpting for double chin. Here’s why.

Kybella treatments are shorter and more comfortable for patients – They don’t have to sit still for 45 minutes with a CoolSculpting applicator that’s attached to their neck and secured around their head.

Kybella can successfully treat localized fat deposits under the chin of varying shapes and sizes. It can also accommodate individuals’ unique anatomy.

Comparatively, CoolSculpting is unable to treat fat that cannot be adequately suctioned into the applicator or treat patients with very small chins.

Finally, patients can see results within several weeks of a Kybella treatment and, after 2 sessions, Kybella has been shown to eliminate up to 50% of fat cells.

On the other hand, individuals must wait 8-12 weeks to note CoolSculpting results, and each treatment can only reduce up to 20% of submental fat.
