Introducing Kybella, Non-Invasive Chin Reduction
We’ve all struggled with low self-esteem, picking apart our faults and wishing we were like someone we admire. Whether it’s our talents and abilities, or the curve of our nose, we’ve all wanted to change something about ourselves.
For women, it’s much more difficult—having to deal with expectations. Whether it’s from their peers, partners or their family, women are often times scrutinized for gaining weight or being too thin.
According to statistics published by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), 13 percent of women over the age of 50 struggle with an eating disorder.
With high expectations to stay slim and fit, more and more women are engaging in reckless behaviors and investing in fad diets. Those who are able to lose excessive weight end up struggling with sagging skin after weight loss. Some women are unable to get rid of areas with excessive fat, resulting in poor self-esteem. One of these areas is the chin.
Chin exercises have limited effectiveness and individuals with a double chin invest in weight loss pills that promise to deliver but fail to do so.
The Effects of Fake Diet Pills
Fad diets promising to eliminate submental fat are becoming increasingly popular. Individuals desperate to change the way they look are the targets of fraudulent companies that prey on their helplessness.
These diet pills are promoted using campaigns that tell the ‘stories’ of individuals facing the same problem: a stubborn double chin that refuses to go away.
These advertisements then show how, within 7 days of usage, individuals are able to get rid of the problem. These pills are not only ineffective, they are dangerous as well.
They contain harmful chemicals that destroy the body’s defenses and lead to health complications. Oftentimes individuals who use these pills have some kind of reaction that leads to permanent or long-term complications. In addition to this, these diet pills slow down metabolism.
Eliminating Double Chin With Kybella
Kybella is the first only FDA-approved injectable that is used to eliminate submental fat. It is used to ‘contour’ the jawline.
Submental fat can add ages to your appearance. Often times, the first thing others notice about us during first-time encounters is our face. With the Kybella NYC treatment, you can reduce the signs of aging and restore your skin’s elasticity, without having to resort to harsh chemicals.
It is one of the most innovative ways to eliminate submental fat. Furthermore, the effects are permanent and you do not need to worry about dealing with the problem again.
One of the active ingredients is deoxycholic acid which is present in the molecules of the body; it helps absorb fat and create a smooth, beautiful and well-defined jawline.
