Neck Shaping with Kybella and CoolSculpting

Do you look in the mirror and find yourself tugging at the fullness below your chin? Many people are self-conscious of their “double-chins”, but there are new and effective treatments to address this concern.  Kybella and CoolSculpting can significantly reduce the appearance of extra fat on the neck and leave you feeling much better about what you see in the mirror.

Neck fat-submental fullness-is a common problem among body image concerns. Though extra fat in that location does not necessarily have anything to do with weight gain or health, and it is merely part of genetics, or maturing, it bothers many. These areas don’t respond well to standard methods of body transformation, like eating well and exercising. Fortunately, doctors have developed new methods for tackling this problem that give you better results than ever.

Kybella and Coolsculpting

Kybella can be used alone to treat submental fullness. It is used to address moderate to severe chin fat. It has deoxycholic acid as its active ingredient and helps your body breakdown the extra fat so that it can’t be restored.

CoolSculpting targets your fat without intrusive measures. It is a FDA-approved method for cooling fat cells; it freezes them and eliminates them. Your fat cells are the only things that get frozen. Neither this procedure, nor Kybella hurts your body. In fact, you might be able to use them together.

Injecting Kybella may be enough even for someone with a moderate double chin. However, if you’re concerned that you have an even larger neck, you can ask your dermatologist about adding CoolSculpting to the treatment. It may be just what you need to make your neck look the way you want. When these two treatments are combined, they can offer excellent results. CoolSculpting can debulk large areas of fat and Kybella can target a specific fat pad under the chin.

It is a significant bonus that both of these procedures are FDA-approved to target your fat, which is then absorbed back into your body. Both of these treatments also require minimal downtime after the treatments, which take very little time out of your schedule.
