Kybella is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment offered by our Medspa that targets and reduces submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. This FDA-approved injectable treatment contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

When administered by our skilled professionals, Kybella works by selectively destroying fat cells in the treated area. The injection is carefully applied to the targeted fat beneath the chin, causing the destruction of fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissues. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these destroyed fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline.

During a Kybella treatment, you can expect a personalized and comfortable experience at our Medspa. Our expert practitioners will begin by assessing your specific needs and designing a customized treatment plan. The procedure itself involves a series of small injections that are typically well-tolerated, and any discomfort is minimized through the use of numbing agents. Following the treatment, it is normal to experience some temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, but these effects generally subside within a few days to a week. With proper aftercare and adherence to our guidance, you can anticipate gradual improvements and a more sculpted chin profile as the weeks progress, ultimately achieving a more confident and youthful appearance.
