Kybella™ is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected under the chin, Kybella™ permanently destroys fat cells, allowing your body to naturally eliminate them over time — leaving a more contoured, youthful profile.

Kybella™ is approved for adults who wish to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin (submental fullness). It is not intended for use outside the submental area or for individuals under 18 years of age.

The active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, targets and destroys fat cells under the chin. Once these cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat — producing a lasting improvement in contour and definition.

Most patients achieve optimal results with 2–4 sessions, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Your provider will determine the exact number of sessions based on your chin profile and treatment goals.

A typical Kybella™ treatment takes about 20–30 minutes, including preparation, consultation, and injection time.

After numbing, your provider makes a series of small, carefully placed injections under the chin. You may feel a slight warmth or tingling as the medication begins working.

Kybella™ requires little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness in the treatment area for several days, which gradually subsides as your body metabolizes the treated fat.

Most patients begin to see noticeable contour improvement after 2–3 sessions, with final results visible about 8–12 weeks after the last treatment.

Absolutely. Kybella™ can be combined with CoolMini™ by CoolSculpting® Elite, Ultherapy®, or PDO Thread Lift to further tighten and refine the jawline. Your provider will recommend a customized plan to achieve optimal harmony and balance.
