KYBELLA® is administered as a series of injections to the treatment area under the chin, destroying fat cells and producing gradual results. Everyone's chin profile is different, so your Bair Medical Spa clinician will tailor treatment to you.
KYBELLA® may be right for you if:
- You're bothered by fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness
- You feel the condition makes you look older or heavier than you actually are
- You don't want to have surgery
- You eat well and exercise, but submental fullness does not go away
How KYBELLA® works
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Fat cells are broken down each time KYBELLA® is injected beneath the chin. Over time, those cells are cleared away through the natural processes of your body, 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.
What to expect
Your Bair Medical Spa clinician will first examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you, then tailor treatment to the amount of fat and your goals. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about fifteen to twenty minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
Since everyone's chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your clinician will help determine how many sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals.
