How KYBELLA® works
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is 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.
How Our Process Works
Consultation
We’ll examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. We’ll tailor your treatment specifically to the amount of fat under the chin area to meet your aesthetic goals.
Kindly inform us if:
Have had or plan to have surgery and/or cosmetic treatments on your face, neck, or chin
Have had or have medical conditions in or near the neck area
Have had or have trouble swallowing, bleeding problems
Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed
Are taking any medications, especially blood thinners.
Treatment
During your treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you may receive up to 6 treatments.
Recovery
After your treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin.
