KYBELLA

This treatment is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment used to destroy fat cells and improve your profile! Treatments are customized individually to each patient and may require multiple sessions. Deoxycholic acid is injected into the pre-platysmal fat (double chin) and destroys the fat cells permanently. The amount of treatments needed is dependent on the surface area and fullness being treated so it is important to have a consultation prior to your procedure to determine a plan of care. Generally, aesthetics provider recommend atleast two vials of Kybella per treatment. Results from your Kybella treatment are usually seen 4 to 6 weeks after the initial appointment.

​

Kybella is a great addition to botox and fillers and, coupled together, can help define the chin and jawline to create a contoured  and aesthetically pleasing profile. Don't just rely on heavy makeup, invest in the look that lasts!
