Kybella: A double chin treatment to reduce fat under your chin.
Kybella is an in-office, injectable treatment that helps reduce and remove the fat under your chin.
Kybella is an FDA-approved treatment to destroy fat cells under your chin.
How Kybella Works
A NO-DOWNTIME PROCEDURE
First, we apply a numbing cream under your chin. Then, we mark where we will inject Kybella, which dissolves the fat in your chin area. Patients report a stinging sensation from the injection, and mild discomfort as the injection begins the fat dissolution process.
MULTIPLE TREATMENTS BRING RESULTS
Most patients need 2-6 courses of Kybella treatment, spaced approximately 6 weeks apart. We advise using a medical compression bandage around your head after treatment, but it’s not required.
COMBINE WITH VENUS FOR BEST RESULTS
Kybella dissolves fat slowly. Expect results over the course of weeks or months. But what’s great is once your process is complete, those dissolved fat cells are gone forever. Kybella is especially beneficial to people whose under-chin fat is genetic (versus weight-gain related).
