Kybella® for Double Chin Reduction
in Wellesley, MA
Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that can improve the appearance of a double chin by effectively dissolving the fat pocket between your chin and neck. It contains deoxycholic acid, which also occurs naturally in the body. Kybella® destroys fat cells and removes any fullness under the chin, providing a vast improvement to the appearance of the profile. Fat deposits under the chin (also called submental fat or double chin) can be a result of aging, genetics, or weight gain making it a great treatment option for men and women of all ages who are bothered by this condition.
How does Kybella® work?
Kybella® is injected directly into the area of concern and the duration of the injections takes only minutes. Patients experience a stinging and burning sensation during injection which is controlled with icing to numb the skin. Following injection, you can expect swelling, redness, warmth and likely some bruising. This lasts about 1-2 weeks during which time you may want to wear scarves or turtle necks. Treatments are spaced 1 month apart and the number of treatments required varies from 1-4 for the average patient, although this depends upon the amount of fat that needs to be dissolved. Unlike many other injectables, Kybella treatments do not need to be repeated once you have reached your desired goal. Following the destruction of fat cells, they can no longer grow in that particular area, so your results are considered permanent. To learn more about Kybella®, and to find out if you are a candidate, contact Premier Dermatology today. Your dermatologist can provide more specific information tailored to your specific goals.

Am I a Good Candidate for Kybella®?
Ideal candidates for Kybella® are adults with unwanted chin fat seeking a non-surgical double chin reduction option. With good skin elasticity and overall health, Kybella® injections may be effective for you.
During your consultation at Premier Dermatology, we will assess your concerns to determine if Kybella® is the right treatment.
Your Kybella® Treatment
Kybella® is injected directly into the area of concern, and the injections take only 15 to 20 minutes. The active ingredient in Kybella®, deoxycholic acid, works to break down and absorb fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body.
Patients will experience a stinging and burning sensation during injection, which can be controlled by applying a cold compress to numb the skin.
What to Expect After Kybella® Treatments?
After treatment, patients can resume their day. Expect swelling, redness, warmth, and possible bruising, which may last one to two weeks. Wearing scarves or turtlenecks can help during this period.
Results gradually appear over several weeks as your body processes and removes the fat cells. Most patients see results after two to four Kybella® sessions, with fat cells being eliminated in four to six weeks.
How Often Should You Get Kybella®?
Treatments are spaced a month apart, and the number of treatments required varies from one to four for the average patient, depending upon the amount of fat that needs to be dissolved. Unlike many other injectables, Kybella® treatments do not need to be repeated once you have reached your desired goal.
After fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer grow in that particular area, so your results are considered permanent.
