Kybella, or deoxycholic acid, is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that is used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin, also called, “the double chin.” This is a permanent treatment that prevents fat from ever returning to the treated area.

​

During treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, with the injection process taking approximately 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.

​

Optimal results are achieved with multiple treatments and varies from client to client. Our certified nurse injectors 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 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.

​

The most common side effects of Kybella include:

​

• Swelling

• Pain

• Numbness

• Redness

• Areas of hardness in the treatment area
