Kybella® Injections

KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.

What is Kybella® treatment and how does it work?

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

The shot is an alternative to liposuction or surgery to treat double-chin fat. Rejuvenate effortlessly with our advanced range of injectables.

How many rounds of treatment do you need, and what results should you expect?

It varies. Patients will need a series of 12–20 injections per visit. You may need two to three total visits spaced a month apart. Each treatment takes about 15 minutes.

Since everyone’s chin profile differs, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least one month apart, and you should not receive more than six treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received six treatments.

Before starting treatment, your healthcare specialist will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. Then, your specialist will tailor your treatment to the amount of fat under the chin and your aesthetic goals.

What is the recovery period?

The downtime is minimal. You can expect to return to work or normal activities immediately. After KYBELLA® treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin. Be sure to inform your healthcare professional if you develop an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, or difficulty swallowing.
