Kybella

How It Works

Kybella's active ingredient (deoxycholic acid) is naturally produced by your body to break down dietary fat. Injected precisely beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells permanently. Your body then clears the dissolved fat through natural lymphatic processes.

Best Candidates

• Adults with moderate to severe submental fullness
• Those bothered by a double chin even at a healthy weight
• Patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to chin liposuction
• Good skin elasticity for optimal post-treatment retraction

Treatment Plan

Most patients require 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Each session uses 20–50 small injections, taking about 20 minutes. Expect swelling, mild bruising and some firmness in the area for 1–2 weeks after each session — this is the fat actively dissolving.

Results

You'll see gradual improvement over 6–12 weeks after each treatment. Once your goal is achieved, additional treatments are typically not needed. Often paired with PDO threads or Morpheus8 for skin tightening.
