The secret behind the success of this trending procedure – and its dramatic results – is deoxycholic acid, which is produced naturally by the body, and works very effectively to eradicate excess fat deposits. When injected into the area of concern, the acid progressively breaks down fat cells, which are then processed by the body and eliminated.

When administered by a trained aesthetic practitioner, Kybella is safe, FDA-approved, and there is minimal risk involved.

At each visit, your aesthetician will map out the injection sites needed to create your ideal shape and target specific areas of concern. Following cleansing and numbing the area to minimize discomfort, a series of injections will be performed, starting the process of eliminating fat cells, which will take place over the course of a few weeks.

The number of vials needed will depend on the individual being treated. In most cases 2-3 vials per session are used for each procedure.

An exciting aspect of this treatment is that positive outcomes are long-lasting. Most patients enjoy permanent results following their recommended course of treatment.

No recovery time necessary! Most patients do not require any downtime and are able to return to regular activities following a Kybella treatment.

A typical procedure is very quick and easy. Most appointments can be completed in under an hour or even less!

Men and women ages 18 and up with moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, tend to experience the best results from Kybella. That said, if you are planning to have facial surgery, are pregnant, nursing, or have any medical conditions that may affect the injection site, Kybella is not recommended.

Immediately following treatment, it is normal to experience mild side effects such as swelling, bruising, numbness, or sensitivity. However, these effects should subside quickly and resolve within a few days.

Kybella is primarily used to treat the chin or underside area of the chin.

Both processes are similar in that they eliminate fat cells. However, they differ in their approach. Kybella uses deoxycholic acid to encourage the cells to break down, whereas CoolSculpting kills the cells by freezing them, using a process called cryolipolysis.
