Stubborn submental fat (also known as a double chin) can affect your profile and your confidence. If you’re interested in a non-surgical solution, KYBELLA® at Skin Balance & Rejuvenation could be the perfect choice.
Our Fort Worth practice, led by Laura Moe, a master injector and board-certified family nurse practitioner, specializes in precision injectables that create natural, balanced results. We are known for delivering safe, effective treatments that redefine the jawline without the need for surgery.
What Is KYBELLA?
KYBELLA is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness. It is made with deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells permanently, resulting in a slimmer, more defined jawline.
Benefits of KYBELLA
A double chin can affect people of all ages and body types, often due to genetics, aging, or weight changes. KYBELLA offers several benefits for patients who want to address this concern without surgery:
- Non-surgical, in-office procedure
- Permanent results once the desired improvement is reached
- Minimal downtime compared to invasive options
- More defined chin and jawline contour
- Boosted confidence in profile appearance
Because KYBELLA eliminates fat cells rather than shrinking them, the results are long-lasting. Once the targeted fat is gone, it does not return.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your KYBELLA session will begin with an evaluation of your chin area and a discussion of your goals. The treatment itself usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, with small injections placed in precise locations under the chin. You may experience a mild stinging sensation, but a topical numbing agent or ice can be applied to improve comfort.
After treatment, you might notice temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness in the area. These side effects are expected and generally resolve within a week or two.
Because KYBELLA works gradually, results develop over time as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Most patients begin to see visible improvement after two to four sessions, spaced about one month apart.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of KYBELLA treatments needed varies depending on the amount of submental fullness and the patient’s goals. Many people achieve their desired outcome in two to four sessions, but others may benefit from up to six treatments. During your consultation, your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your facial anatomy and expectations.
Who Is a Good Candidate for KYBELLA?
KYBELLA is ideal for adults who want to reduce fullness beneath the chin without undergoing liposuction or surgery. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have moderate to significant submental fullness
- Are bothered by the appearance of a double chin
- Want a non-surgical treatment option
- Are in good general health
It is important to note that KYBELLA is designed for fat reduction only. Patients with significant skin laxity may benefit more from a different treatment approach.
