Schedule a consultation with our Master Aesthetic Nurse Injectors to learn about how we can sculpt and contour your jawline by targeting the hard-to-target area beneath the chin.

What is KYBELLA?

KYBELLA is an FDA-approved injectable containing synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally-occuring substance found in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When this acid is injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys unwanted fat cells resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness and improved profile. Once destroyed, the fat cells are completely eliminated and will not return.

  • Fat Spot Reduction

    KYBELLA makes it possible to spot-treat pockets of fat in hard-to-target areas.

  • Customizable Treatments

    KYBELLA is a progressive treatment - your Provider can start with a few injections and add more until you reach your goal.

  • Permanent Results

    Unlike other treatments and procedures, KYBELLA permanently destroys fat cells.

Areas treated by KYBELLA

  • Submental Fullness Under Chin

    The most common treatment area and the only area that KYBELLA is FDA approved to treat.

  • Bra Fat

    It is common to have unwanted fat on the sides and upper back around the bra line that can be effectively treated using KYBELLA

  • Underarm Bulge

    Unwanted fat underneath the arms and armpit is a common concern. Injecting KYBELLA into the armpit fat can effectively treat the area and reduce underarm bulge.

  • Avove the Knee

    If you are concerned with excess fat above the knee, KYBELLA can be used off label to sculpt and contour the area above the knee.

  • Any Area Containing Unwanted Fat

    We can effectively treat any area where there is a concern of excess fat using KYBELLA.

  • Kybella is injected into the fat cells under the chin using a small needle. Once injected, deoxycholic acid destroys the fat cells, which are then absorbed by the body. The results of Kybella treatment are gradual and typically take several weeks to appear. Most patients see noticeable results after 2-4 treatments, spaced 1-2 months apart.

  • The most common side effects of Kybella are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness around the treatment area. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days. More serious side effects, such as nerve injury in the jaw or trouble swallowing, can occur but are rare.

  • The feeling of KYBELLA treatment can vary from person to person, but most people describe it as a mild to moderate stinging or burning sensation. Some people may also feel numbness or tightness in the area. The pain is usually gone within a few minutes, but some people may experience soreness for a few days after treatment.

    Here is a more detailed description of what KYBELLA treatment might feel like:

    The injection: The KYBELLA injections themselves are usually quick and painless. You may feel a brief stinging or burning sensation when the needle is inserted, but this should go away quickly.
    Immediately after: After the injections, you may feel some swelling, bruising, and redness in the treatment area. You may also feel some numbness or tightness. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days.
    A few days after: You may continue to experience some swelling and bruising for a few days after treatment. You may also feel some soreness in the area. These side effects should go away on their own within a week.
    If you have any concerns about the feeling of KYBELLA treatment, be sure to talk to your doctor at Mojo Vitality.
