Is Kybella Right For Me?

Looking for a quick, non-surgical way to treat stubborn fat such as the double chin or lower cheeks? Kybella reduces facial fat permanently, helping you achieve the facial contour you want.

What is Kybella?

The drug’s active ingredient is a synthetic deoxycholic acid which aids in the permanent destruction and digestion of fat cells. Kybella dissolves the membranes lining fat cells, causing them to open and gradually, over the span of several weeks, to be expelled by the body’s own immune cells. Kybella requires no sedation and has little to no recovery time.

Kybella Improves the Shape and Contour of Your Jawline.

Once injected, Kybella immediately starts working to destroy stubborn fat cells. This results in a very noticeable reduction in fullness below the chin or around the lower cheeks (jowls). With the removal of fat, Kybella injections result in a more defined jawline.

Kybella Can Be Used in Other Small Stubborn Fat Areas.

Kybella can be used off-label in other areas such as the armpit fat, bra-roll fat, love handles, lower abdomen, post-liposuction irregularities, and banana roll (under the buttock cheek area).

How many vials of Kybella and how many treatments needed, are dependent on the area and the amount of fullness. Typical range per area is 2-4 vials for 3-5 treatments, separated 6-8 weeks apartment.

Kybella is a Great Introduction To Cosmetic Injections.

Many adults use cosmetic injections like botox, lip injections, and Juvederm. to help improve their facial appearance and self-esteem. If the thought of these procedures is daunting, Kybella is a great introduction to cosmetic injections as it is performed under the chin area and not directly on your face.

Kybella is FDA Approved

In 2015, the FDA approved Kybella as a cosmetic procedure to help reduce facial fat, especially in the chin area. Kybella is currently the only FDA-approved injectable to treat the appearance of a double chin. Two studies performed on 1,022 people in over 70 sites throughout the US and Canada, showed a 66-70% reduction in facial fat. Two U.S. trials before FDA inspection showed nearly 80% of those treated with Kybella noticed a reduction of their submental fat resulting in a double chin and had improved satisfaction about their appearance.

Kybella Offers Long Lasting Results

Experts agree a minimum of two Kybella treatments are needed to see a noticeable reduction in facial fat. Depending on the amount of fat in the area and desired results, three to five more treatments may be needed over a period of time. Studies have been done on the long-term results, and most patients maintain their results for years.

Kybella is a Non-Invasive Cosmetic Procedure With Minimal Downtime.

A Kybella treatment normally lasts 15-20 minutes with swelling and puffiness lasting no more than seven to 10 days. With subsequent treatments, this puffiness will decrease and not be as extreme. There may also be bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness (which can feel lumpy, or like small pea-like nodules, caused by swelling) in the treatment area. Like with many cosmetic injections, all of these side effects should be temporary.
