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 vs Kybella Kybella acts to eliminate the fat in the area it is injected. When the volume decreases, the skin hopefully contracts to accommodate the new, smaller volume. Thus, complaints like heaviness, sagging skin, an obtuse neck/chin angle, and fullness under the chin can be improved. Skin tightening creams help to firm the skin. The way they accomplish this varies. Regardless, you can see that by only affecting the skin, the scope of improvement of skin tightening creams are limited compared to Kybella.

Answer: Skin Tightening Creams As Good As Kybella? Skin Cream Can't Remove Fat; Kybella Can The kinds of skin creams you might find at retail can do a good job of making your skin look plumper, but can't cause any lasting changes. Kybella consists of a series of injections of deoxycholic acid – a substance found in bile that breaks down fat for digestion. When injected into a double chin, Kybella's deoxycholic acid actually melts the fat so that it can be eliminated from the body over time. There is no skin cream on the market that can accomplish anything like that. As the fat is eliminated with Kybella, the skin tends to shrink to accommodate to the loss of volume, which means your chin area will look sleeker and tighter than it did before. It takes at least two or three sessions of Kybella to get the results you want.Here's another important difference between Kybella and OTC products: The results are permanent. Once you've melted away the fat with Kybella, it will not return (unless you gain weight, in which case some of the fat cells left can enlarge). In other words, after you've finished your third session of Kybella, you should never need another as long as you maintain your weight. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will let you learn about how Kybella can help you and also about other options to help you with your aging concerns.

Answer: Skin tightening cream (micro sculpting creams) as good as Kybella? Thank you for sharing your question. Skin tightening creams do not really work, no matter what store you buy them from and are not a substitute for a physician directed procedure like Kybella. I would recommend seeing an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss your breast treatment options - Kybella, liposuction, or neck lift. The best operation is that which addresses your chief areas of concern. Hope this helps.

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.
