What causes a double chin?

It  can be caused by several factors, including:

• Genetics and family history.
• Weight gain and age-related skin laxity.
• The natural aging process.

Ideal candidates: 

You may be an ideal candidate for Kybella if you:

• Have a noticeable amount of fat under the chin (a “double chin”).
• are bothered by the appearance of your profile.
• Prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
• Have realistic expectations.
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

What to Expect? Results!

Our Kybella clinic in Dubai provides a safe and effective approach with permanent benefits. The treatment targets and eliminates fat cells without surgery. You will see gradual improvement over several weeks as the body processes and removes the destroyed fat cells.

Finally, optimal results are typically seen 2-3 months after your last treatment session. Since the fat cells are gone for good, the results are lasting.

Preparing for kybella injections:

The below are the instructions that must be followed before coming for the procedure;

• Cleanse the face thoroughly.Wash out the makeup.
• Do not take NSAIDs or other blood-thinning medicines.
• Avoid smoking or alcohol before your session.
• Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to treatment.
• Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment.

The Kybella Procedure:

The technique is straightforward and performed in-clinic:

• Preparation and Numbing: The treatment region behind your chin is properly cleaned. A topical numbing lotion is used to reduce any sensation during the injections.

1. Precise Injections: Using a very tiny needle, your practitioner will administer a series of small, targeted injections into the fat layer below your chin. The number of injections needed will vary depending on your anatomy and treatment method.
2. Time: The process is short, usually taking 15-20 minutes.

After the procedure: 

• Apply a small ice bag to the skin for about 2 days regularly.
• Do not perform heavy exercise.
• Avoid applying moisturizers or other cosmetic products.
• Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area.
• Apply a well-prescribed sunblock once any swelling subsides.
• Take the prescribed medicines.. 

Benefits: 

• No downtime. 
• Safe treatment, no complications. 
• Fast recovery. 
• Painless process. 

Risks: 

The complications are temporary; they can go away after some hours or days. 

Some of the side effects are as follows: 

• Bruises. 
• numbness 
• Headache.

Is Kybella Worth It?

Kybella is an excellent non-surgical alternative to liposuction for individuals who are bothered by a double chin but are not ready for surgery. Results are permanent for the destroyed fat cells.

Why Choose Kybella Over Surgical Options

• Non-invasive — no incisions, no general anesthesia required.
• Minimal downtime — most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
• Natural-looking results — fat cells are destroyed and processed gradually, avoiding a sudden or artificial change in contour.
• Low risk of complications — when performed by an experienced, licensed injector.
• Permanent fat reduction — unlike weight fluctuation, destroyed fat cells do not return.

Choosing the Right Clinic for Kybella in Dubai

When choosing a clinic for Kybella treatment, look for:

• DHA & MOH licensing — confirm the clinic and the injecting physician hold valid Dubai Health Authority and Ministry of Health licenses. EsthetiCare is MOH-licensed (License No. 1539/2/5/14/5/15) and our injectors are DHA-licensed aesthetic physicians.
• Injector experience with submental fat reduction specifically — Kybella technique differs from filler or Botox injection; ask how many Kybella treatments the physician has performed.
• Before-and-after photos of real patients — request to see results from patients with a similar chin/jaw profile to yours, not just stock imagery.
• A proper in-person consultation before treatment — your candidacy, dosage, and number of sessions should be assessed by the physician, not estimated over the phone.
• Transparent, upfront pricing — the total cost should be clear before you commit, including how many sessions and vials your specific case is likely to need.

At EsthetiCare, Kybella treatments are performed by DHA & MOH-licensed physicians, including Dr. Umair Hafeez, who has 12+ years of experience in facial aesthetics and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
