Skip to content Kybella is an innovative injectable treatment that targets and eliminates stubborn submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” This FDA-approved procedure offers a non-surgical solution to enhance your profile and boost your confidence. Quick and effective, Kybella provides long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
Kybella® is a groundbreaking injectable treatment that uses naturally occurring deoxycholic acid, which breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When injected into the area beneath the chin, Kybella® effectively destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction of fullness under the chin.
This non-invasive procedure is ideal for both men and women who are bothered by submental fullness and desire a more defined jawline without surgery. At Viva Medspa & Wellness, our expert providers customize each Kybella® treatment to ensure optimal results that enhance your natural features.
During your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and assess your chin profile to determine if Kybella® is right for you. To minimize the risk of bruising, do not drink alcohol or take blood thinners 24 hours before your appointment.
The procedure typically takes 15-20 minutes. Several small injections are administered beneath the chin to target the targeted area. Most patients experience little discomfort, and numbing cream can be applied if desired.
You may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days. The patients can return to normal activities straight away, but avoiding strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment is advisable.
The number of treatments required varies based on the amount of submental fat present and the desired profile. Most patients achieve optimal results with 2-4 treatment sessions about 4-6 weeks apart. Once your aesthetic goals are met, retreatment is typically unnecessary, as Kybella® permanently destroys treated fat cells.
Results develop gradually over several weeks following each treatment session. Once your body metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, you’ll notice a progressive reduction in submental fullness. Final results are typically visible within 12 weeks after your last treatment, revealing a slimmer, more contoured chin profile that can significantly enhance your overall facial appearance.
