Kybella is an injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. Natural molecules located in the body, such as deoxycholic acid, facilitate the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. When injected into the targeted area, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This treatment can specifically address areas like the chin and neck, providing a non-surgical option for contouring and improving the facial profile.
Kybella is suitable for adults who are bothered by moderate to severe submental fullness and are looking for a non-invasive solution. The best results usually occur after six sessions, spaced about a month apart. The treatment usually takes two to four sessions to achieve the best results. The effects of Kybella are long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently removed, though maintaining a stable weight is essential for sustained results.

Before treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol to minimize bruising. For 24 hours following treatment, avoid strenuous exercise, apply ice for swelling reduction, and follow your practitioner’s instructions.
An injection of Kybella solution will be administered using a fine needle by your practitioner. It typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete the procedure, depending on the size of the area being treated.
