KYBELLA®

The KYBELLA Treatment

Composed of a deoxycholic acid solution, KYBELLA is the first procedure of its kind intended to non-surgically diminish submental fat accumulations that prove to be resistant to both diet and exercise. During treatment, the revolutionary solution is carefully injected into targeted fat buildups underneath the chin via an ultra-thin needle. Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort, but a topical anesthetic can often be applied prior to treatment if necessary/desired. The entire treatment process typically takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete (depending on the number of injections needed), and the majority of individuals are able to resume normal daily activities within one to two days, if not later the same day.

Some minor bruising and/or swelling may initially be present following treatment, but these symptoms should dissipate over time and can usually be concealed with makeup. Though rare, any potential soreness or discomfort can often be effectively managed with medication. In most cases, about two to four treatments are necessary before the effects of KYBELLA become noticeably apparent, and some individuals may require up to six sessions scheduled a minimum of one month apart to attain ideal outcomes. Once the desired results have been achieved, however, retreatment is typically not necessary.
