How the Procedure Works: Step-by-Step Process

Consultation

We begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess if Kybella® is the proper treatment for your goals.

Treatment Planning

The practitioner maps out the treatment area and creates a customized injection plan.

Preparation

The area is sanitized, and a numbing agent may be applied to ensure your comfort.

Injections

Kybella® is strategically injected into the targeted fat deposits. The session typically lasts 15–20 minutes.

Post-Treatment Care

You’ll receive aftercare instructions to minimize any swelling or discomfort.

Kybella®

Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to eliminate stubborn fat beneath the chin, known as submental fullness. The deoxycholic acid used in this treatment is a naturally recurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs fat cells. Once the fat is metabolized, the treated cells are permanently destroyed, leaving a slimmer and more contoured profile. Beyond the chin, Kybella® can also be used in other small pockets of stubborn fat, such as along the jawline, for a more defined facial structure. The non-invasive nature of Kybella® makes it a suitable alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, offering impressive effects without the need for incisions or recovery time.

Kybella® is an ideal solution for adults who struggle with submental fullness or other fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. Results typically become noticeable within 4–6 weeks, with the best outcomes achieved after a series of treatments. Best of all, once the desired fat cells are removed, the results are long-lasting, as these cells do not regenerate. If you’re ready to redefine your profile and regain confidence, now is the perfect time to book a consultation at Skin & Beauty Medical. Let our experienced professionals guide you through your personalized Kybella® journey today!
