Kybella works by dissolving the fat cells in the submental area which is under the chin. As the cells break apart, your body drains them through the lymphatic system. Deoxycholic acid is a concentrated active ingredient dispersed under your chin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are substances that disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system. In cosmetic treatments, neurotoxins like Botox are used to temporarily reduce muscle activity, which can smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.

How do neurotoxins work?

Neurotoxins work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscles to contract. By inhibiting this signal, neurotoxins cause temporary muscle paralysis or relaxation, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Are neurotoxin treatments safe?

When administered by a trained healthcare professional, neurotoxin treatments are generally safe. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, such as bruising, swelling, or temporary muscle weakness. These are usually mild and resolve on their own.

How long do neurotoxin effects last?

The effects of neurotoxins typically last between three to six months, depending on the individual and the specific neurotoxin used. Over time, the treated muscles regain their function, and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the results.

Are neurotoxin treatments painful?

Most people find neurotoxin injections to be relatively painless. The needles used are very fine, and some practitioners may apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area beforehand.

What areas can be treated with neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the face, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. They can also be used to treat medical conditions like chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.

Who is a good candidate for neurotoxin treatments?

Good candidates for neurotoxin treatments are generally healthy adults who have wrinkles or fine lines caused by muscle movement. Pregnant or nursing women and individuals with certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates.

What should I expect during a neurotoxin treatment?

During a neurotoxin treatment, a healthcare provider will use a very fine needle to inject the neurotoxin into specific muscles. The procedure typically takes about 10-20 minutes, and there is minimal downtime afterward.

Are there any alternatives to neurotoxin treatments?

There are several alternatives to neurotoxin treatments for wrinkle reduction, including dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels. These treatments work in different ways and may be more suitable for some individuals depending on their specific goals and concerns.
