The temporal aspect of Kybella’s efficacy is a primary consideration for individuals seeking to reduce submental fullness. The treatment involves a series of injections containing deoxycholic acid, which disrupts fat cell membranes. Visible improvements are not immediate, as the body requires time to process and eliminate the destroyed fat cells.
Understanding the treatment timeline is crucial for setting realistic expectations. Factors influencing the speed of results include the individual’s metabolism, the amount of submental fat present, and adherence to post-treatment care instructions. Multiple treatment sessions are typically required to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. The gradual nature of the transformation allows for a subtle and natural-looking reduction in submental fullness.
