What is Kybella?

FDA-approved since 2015, Kybella is revolutionary in its ability to target and eliminate fat beneath the chin. Prior to Kybella, the only effective way to treat a double chin was through liposuction. The convenience of an injectable, non-surgical treatment for removing excess submental fat has made Kybella a highly sought-after option for those looking to refine their neck and jawline without surgery.
Key benefits of Kybella:
Reducing fat beneath the chin can be quite challenging. Kybella offers a powerful solution, effectively targeting this area through a series of injections. Here are the key advantages of Kybella:

  • Fast, convenient, and non-surgical treatments

  • Minimal discomfort with little to no downtime

  • A beautifully contoured chin and refined profile

  • Enhanced self-esteem and confidence

  • Long-lasting, permanent results

How does Kybella work?

Kybella's active ingredient is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected directly into the excess fat beneath the chin, Kybella works by destroying the fat cells in the targeted area, preventing them from storing fat again.

Kybella treatment details

When you arrive for your Kybella appointment, we’ll start by taking some “before” photos. Once you’re comfortable, we’ll apply a numbing cream under your chin, followed by a temporary tattoo dot grid to guide your specialist during the treatment.

During the procedure, you can expect to receive between 10 to 50 injections, which only take a few minutes. While you may feel the injections, the numbing cream ensures that any discomfort is minimal. Some patients experience a slight burning sensation from the chemical, but we provide ice packs to alleviate this. Most people find the treatment quite manageable. After the session, we’ll wrap your chin with a compression bandage, and you may experience some mild soreness. For optimal results, Kybella typically requires 2 to 4 treatments, each spaced six weeks apart.

Recovery

After your Kybella treatment, most patients notice some swelling, which can make it seem like your double chin is getting bigger, but rest assured, it’s just part of the process. This swelling is normal and indicates that the treatment is working. Once the swelling subsides, the targeted fat cells will be permanently gone. The swelling usually peaks around 24 hours after your first treatment and can last anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks. During the recovery period, you might also experience some bruising, a burning sensation, or numbness in the treated area.

Results

It's important to understand that while Kybella delivers significant results, they may take some time to become fully visible—typically after 2 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Most patients begin to notice changes after 2 to 3 sessions. The exact number of treatments you’ll need depends on the amount of fat being treated. Once you’re satisfied with the results, no further maintenance treatments are necessary. The fat cells destroyed by Kybella are gone for good.
