What is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable that dissolves small pockets of fat. This technique injects deoxycholic acid into the targeted fat cells to achieve the desired results. Unlike surgical procedures, Kybella doesn't involve any cuts, and the recovery time is generally relatively short.

The ideal candidate for Kybella is an adult who is 18 years or older and has significant fat under the chin or in other small regions. However, if you've had facial surgery, experience difficulty swallowing, are pregnant or nursing, or have an infection or medical issue near the injection area, you might not be suitable for this treatment.

How Does Kybella Work?

Deoxycholic acid is a natural bile acid that your body produces to aid in fat absorption. Kybella injections utilize a synthetic version of this acid for injection. Once introduced, the acid effectively eradicates fat cells beneath the chin region, preventing them from storing fat in the future. It's crucial to ensure that a skilled healthcare professional administers your Kybella injections, as deoxycholic acid can also affect other cells during this process.

Before the procedure begins, your healthcare provider will identify the injection sites using a marker and may apply a topical numbing agent or ice pack to alleviate any potential pain or discomfort. Typically, numbing lasts 15 minutes, and the procedure takes another 15-20 minutes. The acid then gradually acts to eliminate fat cells, which the body subsequently metabolizes over the ensuing weeks.

The necessary number of treatment sessions varies from person to person. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal outcomes. You can undergo up to six Kybella treatments, with multiple vials in each treatment, with a minimum of one month between sessions.

What are the benefits of Kybella Double Chin Treatment?

There are many benefits to Kybella in regards to treating stubborn fat areas, especially under the chin. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Reduces or Eliminates a Double Chin: Kybella’s synthetic deoxycholic acid breaks down fat cells under the chin, leading to their elimination and a reduction in the double chin appearance.

2. Lower Risk of Adverse Reactions: Kybella’s use of natural deoxycholic acid lowers the risk of adverse reactions, providing surgical-like results with fewer complications and a shorter recovery period.

3. Specifically Targets Submental Fullness: Kybella uniquely targets double chins precisely, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding cells and offering a non-invasive approach.

4. Comfortable Procedure: Kybella is relatively painless, involving slight warmth and tingling during treatment, which can be eased with numbing cream and ice.

5. Enhances Appearance: By breaking down fat cells, Kybella can give the submental area more definition, creating a younger and leaner appearance.

6. Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical procedures, Kybella has little to no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities without disruption.

7. Non-Invasive: Kybella's non-invasive nature minimizes risks and complications associated with surgical methods, providing comparable results without incisions or anesthesia.

8. Quick Process: Kybella treatment is swift, taking around fifteen to twenty minutes.

9. Fewer Than Six Treatments: Kybella typically requires fewer than six treatments, with visible results often seen between the second and fourth sessions.

10. Rapid Results: Results manifest within four to six weeks, swiftly addressing submental fullness and boosting self-confidence.

11. Long-Lasting Effects: Kybella's fat cell destruction results in long-lasting effects, as regenerating fat cells are hindered, providing a fresh start.


12. Minimal Guidelines: Kybella comes with straightforward pre- and post-treatment guidelines, offering fewer restrictions than other treatments. Pre-treatment, avoid high-sodium and high-sugar foods, while post-treatment, use ice packs for comfort and maintain hydration.

What to expect

  • Before Kybella:

    Before undergoing Kybella treatment, you will consult an aesthetic injector. During this consultation, they will evaluate your suitability for the procedure and discuss your goals and expectations. You might be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and certain supplements before the treatment to minimize bruising. If you're a good candidate, the healthcare provider will explain the procedure and answer any questions you have.

  • During The Procedure:

    The actual Kybella treatment is a fairly straightforward process. The healthcare provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Then, a series of small injections containing deoxycholic acid will be administered into the targeted fat beneath your chin. The number of injections can vary based on your individual needs and goals. The procedure generally takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

  • After Your Treatment:

    After the treatment, you might experience some swelling, redness, and bruising around the injection site. These side effects are temporary and should take a few weeks to subside. You can apply ice to the area to reduce swelling and discomfort. Over the next few weeks, you'll begin to notice gradual changes as the deoxycholic acid breaks down the fat cells. It's essential to follow any post-treatment care instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Before & Afters

Does Kybella Treatment Hurt?

Kybella treatment is generally well-tolerated, and discomfort is typically minimal, although it varies from person to person. While you might feel a slight warming sensation during the injection, any discomfort is usually brief. To further ease any potential discomfort, a numbing cream can be applied before the treatment, and ice can be used afterward.

How much does Kybella cost?

The cost of Kybella treatment can vary depending on factors such as the number of sessions required and the treatment area's size. On average, the cost per session starts at around $1,800. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to receive an accurate estimate based on your specific needs and goals.

How long does Kybella last?

Kybella offers long-lasting results since it permanently destroys the targeted fat cells. Once these fat cells are eliminated, they cannot regenerate, leading to a lasting improvement in the treated area's appearance. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight can help sustain the results over time.

Is Kybella safe?

Kybella has been approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment for reducing submental fat (double chin). It is important, however, to have the treatment administered by a trained and qualified healthcare provider to ensure its safety and appropriate use. As with any medical procedure, there can be potential risks and side effects, but they are generally temporary and manageable. It's advisable to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing Kybella treatment.
