KYBELLA®
Sculpt Your Profile with KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® is a groundbreaking cosmetic treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance, to target and eliminate unwanted fat cells in specific areas. This minimally invasive procedure is especially effective for reducing the appearance of a "double chin," offering a non-surgical solution to help you achieve a more sculpted and defined profile.
How does it work? KYBELLA is injected directly into the area under the chin, where it destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future. Over the following weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates these targeted fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in chin fullness and a more contoured facial appearance.

What to Expect at Your KYBELLA Appointment
During each session, your dermatology provider will administer a series of injections beneath the chin. The number of injections is determined by the amount of fat present and your desired profile outcome.
KYBELLA gradually reduces fat over subsequent weeks, leading to a more defined jawline. Most patients can resume their regular activities shortly after the appointment, making it a convenient and efficient non-surgical solution for enhancing your profile.
KYBELLA Maintenance Recommendations
After your treatment, it is essential to follow any specific post-procedural instructions provided by your dermatology provider. This may include avoiding strenuous activities, applying ice to reduce swelling, and refraining from excessive sun exposure.
- Follow-Up Assessments: Schedule regular follow-up appointments with your dermatology provider to assess the results and determine if additional treatments are needed.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Adopting a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can contribute to overall well-being and help maintain the improved profile achieved with KYBELLA.
- Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial. Regularly apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to the treated area, especially if you'll be exposed to sunlight for an extended period.
- Maintain Weight Stability: While KYBELLA destroys fat cells, maintaining a stable weight helps ensure lasting results. Significant weight fluctuations can impact the treated area.
- Communication with Provider: If you notice any changes or have specific concerns, communicate with your dermatology provider promptly. They can provide guidance and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
KYBELLA Maintenance Schedule
- Complete the initial series of KYBELLA treatments as recommended by your dermatology provider.
- You can undergo a maximum of six treatment sessions, each scheduled at least one month apart. Visible results are often noticed by many patients after completing 2 to 4 KYBELLA treatments.
- Schedule maintenance appointments at intervals ranging from six months to a year.
- Attend regular follow-up assessments to evaluate sustained results and make adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary.
KYBELLA FAQs
KYBELLA contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When it is injected into the fat below the chin, it eliminates fat cells, gradually leading to a more sculpted and defined profile. This treatment effectively contours the chin area over time.
The number of sessions varies, but most individuals undergo a series of two to six treatments, typically spaced about a month apart. The exact number is determined based on individual factors and desired results.
KYBELLA results are permanent, fat cells can not store or accumulate fat after they are destroyed. Maintaining a stable weight is crucial for long-term success.
KYBELLA results will slowly mature over the following weeks after the proceedure as the body transforms and eliminates the targeted fat cells. The results are not immediate. Multiple sessions may be needed for desired results.
