Kybella Injections at LEA Aesthetics & MedSpa

Sculpt your chin

“KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal” (Allergan Aesthetics, 2024).

How Does Kybella Work?

Kybella is an injectable treatment made of synthetic deoxycholic acid. This acid occurs in the human body naturally, where its role is to help break down dietary fat. When injected by a medical professional, it breaks down the cells that store fat in the chin. Because of this mechanism of action, Kybella’s results are incredibly long-lasting. After treatment, the area under the chin can no longer store fat. Even with weight gain, your double chin should not return.

Kybella Treatment Target Areas

Kybella is a highly targeted treatment that can only be used in the following areas. Kybella Double Chin Kybella is the ultimate double chin treatment. The primary area we target is directly under the chin and slightly under the jawline, where fat tends to accumulate. However, a double chin can also be caused by loose skin, so check out our guide on how to get rid of a double chin to learn about your other treatment options. Kybella Jawline Kybella can help sculpt the jawline beautifully. We don’t inject it into the jaw, but we treat the area immediately below it, where fat often accumulates. This results in a more defined jawline. Combine Kybella with jawline filler and you can achieve a total facial transformation.

What’s It Like to Get Kybella?

The Kybella injection itself isn’t particularly painful, but you may feel a burning sensation as the acid starts taking action immediately after the treatment. During the procedure, your nurse will mark the area under your chin and inject it multiple times to ensure complete coverage. Some bruising is common for a few days after the treatment, while swelling may last for a few weeks. Once the swelling goes down, you will notice a reduction in fat under your chin. That said, depending on individual physiology, most patients will require multiple treatments to see satisfactory results.
