Reimagine a jawline without the double chin. A sculpted jawline does a lot for our self-esteem and confidence. People with a strong profile are seen as trustworthy and competent. When a double chin interferes with that, there’s Kybella®. It’s the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing the double chin without surgery. Schedule your consultation with one of our experienced injectors to learn what this revolutionary treatment can do for you.
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to target and dissolve fat cells beneath the chin. It contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat.
When injected into the submental fat under the chin, Kybella® works by destroying fat cells, which the body naturally eliminates over time. Once those fat cells are gone, they do not return, making Kybella® a long-lasting solution for a sculpted jawline.
The Kybella® treatment process at soul&beautyMEDx is quick, minimally invasive, and performed in-office by our expert providers.
What to Expect During Treatment
Kybella® is primarily designed to treat submental fullness, commonly referred to as a double chin.
Conditions Treated:
Kybella® offers several benefits for those seeking non-surgical fat reduction:
Kybella may be the perfect solution for you if you’re looking to address stubborn fat under the chin that won’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s an excellent non-surgical option for enhancing your jawline and refining your profile. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results. However, Kybella® may not be suitable if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have significant skin laxity or sagging, or have an active infection in the treatment area. During your consultation at soul&beautyMEDx, our expert providers will assess your needs and determine if Kybella is the right choice to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
After your Kybella treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area, which typically subsides within 3–7 days. Some patients also notice slight numbness or firmness temporarily, which is completely normal and resolves on its own. To ensure the best results, avoid strenuous activities for 24–48 hours following your treatment and follow any aftercare instructions given by your provider.
Kybella offers gradual yet noticeable fat reduction, with improvements beginning within 4–6 weeks after your first session. Most patients achieve their optimal results after 2–4 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Once Kybella eliminates fat cells, they do not regenerate, making the results permanent when combined with a healthy lifestyle. This transformative treatment provides a long-lasting solution for a more refined, sculpted jawline.
Most clients require 2-4 treatments for optimal results, but this varies based on the amount of fat present.
Kybella injections are generally well-tolerated, though some clients may experience mild discomfort during treatment. A numbing agent can be used for comfort.
Yes! Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prolong your results.
Deoxycholic acid is the active ingredient in Kybella®, a substance the body uses to metabolize fat. When injected into the submental area—the double chin—Kybella® breaks down fat cells. They are then absorbed by the body and filtered out naturally through the lymphatic system. The result is a slimmer, more contoured jawline and chin.
Most adult men and women bothered by a double chin are good candidates for Kybella® treatments. The most satisfied patients are happy to avoid liposuction even if results are less immediate. Your soul&beautyMEDx consultation will include a complete examination and thorough medical history to determine if Kybella® will benefit you.
The pinch of an injection is a mild discomfort, and numbing medications are available. The injections themselves are quick. Your Kybella® session takes around 30 minutes to complete. Most patients can achieve their aesthetic goals with a series of injections scheduled 1 month apart.
Swelling, injection site bruising, tenderness, numbness, or areas of hardness are normal. Patients report it taking a few days for these to diminish. Some swelling may persist for longer, but your general routine remains intact.
The body’s cellular filtration following Kybella® does take some time. Results become visible around 3 months or after 2 treatment sessions. These improvements accumulate, peaking around 6 months. Your jawline is sculpted, your profile pronounced and pleasing, and your neck is slimmer and more defined.
