​KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to ​severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called
“double chin.” Kybella is FDA approved to permanently dissolve fat under the chin and jaw area to create a younger, leaner appearance of the face. Kybella can also be used "off label" to dissolve stubborn fat in other areas of the body as recommended by your healthcare provider.

​HOW KYBELLA® WORKS

​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 IS KYBELLA® ADMINISTERED?

​Treatment can only be administered by a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare specialist. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin or other target body area, 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 or target area and your desired profile or end result.

​HOW MANY KYBELLA® TREATMENT SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient.
Most people see visible improvements in their chin profile after 2 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments. Your healthcare specialist 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. 
For the best results, it is important to complete the series of injections recommended by your provider. Once your desired goal is achieved, re-treatment is not necessary.

If you are treating other body areas your provider will discuss and recommend an individual treatment plan for you. Most patients will need 2-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. 1-3 vials of Kybella are typically injected into the targeted area per treatment, the average is 2 vials per treatment. 

Schedule a complimentary 20 minute consultation with our provider to assess and discuss a treatment protocol to address your individual goals.

IS KYBELLA ONLY FOR THE CHIN AND JAW AREA?

Kybella is currently only FDA approved to dissolve fat in the chin and jaw area but can be used as an "off label" treatment for other body areas such as love handles and bra or armpit fat. Contact our office for more information, a 20 minute complimentary consultation may be arranged to evaluate your needs.

​WILL I NEED TIME TO RECOVER?

​After KYBELLA® treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin. Be sure to inform your healthcare professional if you develop an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing or injection site problems such as bruising, hair loss, open sores (ulcers), and damage and tissue cell-death (necrosis) around the injection site. Call your healthcare provider if you develop open sores or drainage from the treatment area.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?

Unlike Botox, which yields results that 
last for up to six months in as few as four days, Kybella results are noticeable at four to six weeks and last for years, which means that touch-ups shouldn't be needed. As for side effects, expect swelling and bruising that start to fade within three days of treatment
HOW MUCH DOES KYBELLA COST?

Treatment cost will vary depending on each individual's goals and treatment areas. Contact our office to arrange a 20 minute complimentary consultation with our Kybella injector for an estimate. Typically 1-2 vials is injected underneath the chin per treatment session. Our facility charges $650/vial of Kybella administered.
