Let's say I buy a skin tightening cream from Sephora or Macy's to help me with my excess fat saggy skin underneath my neck or chin? Do these skin tightening creams really work? Do they work just as good as kybella?

Answer: Skin tightening cream (micro sculpting creams) as good as Kybella? Thank you for your question. This one is very easy to answer.......the answer is no....and no. No skin creams sold over the counter at a department store and going to actually do much in the way of eliminating skin excess.....they will mostly serve to remove money from your wallet. Kybella is an FDA approved injectable treatment for submental fullness, which means that is has been proven effective at eliminating adipose tissue underneath the chin. However, it has not been proven to be an effective skin tightening agent and is not FDA approved for this indication. For those familiar with the product, there is some element of skin tightening from the inflammation, but this can vary from patient to patient and is not the main goal of the product. To determine whether you would be a good candidate for Kybella treatments, make sure you see a local board certified surgeon for an assessment. Hope this helps!

Answer: Those folks who write copy for creams are amazing but it is all fluff. A skin cream is a moisturizer. It is not even in the same universe as Kybella. If you need help under you chin, a moisturizer is not going to make a whit of difference. Kybella has its issues and is not effective in all patients but it can and does make a real difference for many patients over a series of treatments. Don't get fooled by the fancy suggestive writing associated with skin cream marketing.
