Kybella treatment is specifically designed to target submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. During your consultation, your provider will assess your profile to determine the amount of Kybella needed. One vial is typically used for a more focused reduction, while two vials may be recommended for a more significant amount of submental fat, helping to achieve enhanced contouring.

Kybella is a prescription injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the area under the chin, it physically destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing fat again. This process can lead to a more sculpted and defined jawline, enhancing your natural profile. Most patients typically require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve their desired results.

To help prepare for your appointment, it is generally recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for a few days prior to treatment, if medically appropriate. Inform your provider of any medical conditions, active infections, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as these may affect your eligibility for treatment.
