Kybella is a revolutionary cosmetic treatment specifically designed to eliminate fat in the chin area. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body over time. With Kybella, you can achieve a more defined jawline and a rejuvenated appearance, all without the need for invasive procedures.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that aids in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells, which your body metabolizes and removes naturally. Over the course of multiple sessions, this process significantly reduces the appearance of a double chin.
Why Consider A Kybella Treatment?
Kybella offers numerous benefits for individuals looking to improve their facial profile:
- Gradual fat reduction process allows for natural-looking improvements over time
- Achieve significant fat reduction without surgery or downtime
- Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, providing permanent results with proper weight maintenance
- Sessions are tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals
- Resume your normal activities shortly after treatment
- Enjoy a slimmer, more contoured jawline that enhances your overall appearance

Detailed Assessment & Consultation
Prior to your Kybella treatment, we begin with a detailed consultation with one of our licensed nurse practitioners.
During this session, we will evaluate your submental area, discuss your goals, and determine if Kybella is the right treatment for you. A personalized treatment plan will be created to achieve your desired results.
Treatment Preparation
On the day of your treatment, the targeted area will be cleansed, and temporary markings may be applied to guide the injections.
To enhance your comfort, a topical numbing agent or ice pack may be used before the procedure begins.
Kybella Injection Procedure
The nurse practitioner will administer Kybella using a fine needle, delivering the treatment precisely into the fat beneath your chin.
Each session typically takes 15–20 minutes, and the number of injections will depend on your treatment plan. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.
Procedure Aftercare
After your session, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area, which is a normal part of the process.
These side effects generally subside within a few days. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to optimize your results and ensure a smooth recovery.

FAQs
How Long Does Lash Enhancement Last?
Lash enhancement typically lasts 1–3 years, depending on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. The pigment gradually fades over time, and touch-ups are recommended every 12–18 months to maintain the desired definition and intensity.
What Is The Difference Between Lash Enhancement & Eyeliner?
Lash enhancement is a subtle semi-permanent technique that darkens the lash line for a fuller, natural look, while eyeliner tattooing creates a more defined, makeup-like line above the lashes for a dramatic effect.
Can I Wear Mascara After Lash Line Enhancement?
Yes, but it’s recommended to wait at least 7–10 days after the procedure to allow the area to heal fully. Once healed, you can wear mascara or other eye makeup as desired.
How Long Does Eyebrow Tinting Last?
Eyebrow tinting typically lasts 3–6 weeks, depending on factors such as your hair growth cycle, skin type, and aftercare routine. To maintain the intensity and definition of your brows, regular touch-up sessions are recommended every 4–6 weeks. Avoiding excessive sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and frequent swimming can help prolong the results.
How Do I Maintain My Eyebrow Tint?
To prolong your results, avoid excessive sun exposure, harsh skincare products, or frequent swimming, as these can cause the tint to fade more quickly.
Can I Wear Makeup After Eyebrow Tinting?
It’s best to avoid applying makeup or skincare products directly to your brows for the first 24 hours to allow the tint to set properly.
How Long Do Kybella Results Last?
Kybella provides permanent results by destroying fat cells in the treated area. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they cannot return. Maintaining a stable weight will help ensure your results last over time.
How Many Kybella Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments varies based on individual needs, but most patients require 2–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
What Are The Side Effects Of Kybella?
Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Your nurse practitioner will review all potential side effects during your consultation.
