Kybella
Say Goodbye to Submental Fullness
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment designed to improve the appearance of submental fullness, also known as a double chin. The treatment involves injecting a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat, into the targeted area under the chin. This destroys the fat cells and results in a slimmer and more defined jawline.
Kybella Treats:
- Submental fullness or double chin
- Excess fat deposits under the chin area
- Lack of definition in the jawline
- Unwanted fat in the neck area
How Kybella Works
Kybella contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally produced by the body to break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the targeted area under the chin, the synthetic deoxycholic acid disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cell to break down and be absorbed by the body’s natural processes. The treated area becomes slimmer, resulting in a more defined jawline. As the destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, Kybella provides long-lasting results.

Potential Side Effects of Kybella:
- Swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site

- In rare cases, nerve injury or uneven smile
- Allergic reaction or infection (very rare)
Your Kybella Session
Before your Kybella session, your practitioner will discuss your aesthetic goals and assess your eligibility for the treatment. The targeted area will be cleaned and numbed, and a grid pattern will be marked to ensure accurate injections. The practitioner will administer the Kybella injections using a small needle, targeting the submental fat cells under your chin. The process takes about 15-20 minutes, and you can resume daily activities immediately.
FAQ
Results: Onset & Longevity
You may see a noticeable reduction in submental fullness within a few weeks after your Kybella treatment. Most patients require 2-4 treatments to achieve optimal results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The results of Kybella are long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and eliminated from the body. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight can help prolong the effects of the treatment.
