Submental fat under your chin affects how you see yourself. Diet and exercise do not always eliminate this concern. Our Kybella treatment offers a proven solution to reduce chin fat without surgery or extended recovery time.
The injectable uses deoxycholic acid to target fat cells directly. Results appear gradually as your body processes destroyed cells. Your jawline becomes more defined naturally. Skinovatio Medical Spa has extensive experience delivering safe, effective fat reduction results.
Kybella is an FDA-approved injection that targets submental fullness. The treatment contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in your digestive system to break down dietary fat.
When injected under the chin, the formula destroys fat cell membranes. Your body then permanently removes these damaged cells through your natural metabolic system. Each injection delivers precise amounts to specific areas beneath your chin. The treatment focuses only on unwanted fat deposits while surrounding tissue remains unaffected.
Single-session treatment addresses mild submental fat in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Most patients begin with one session to assess response.
The standard treatment series includes 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This timing allows proper healing between treatments as your body processes destroyed fat cells.
Advanced contouring may require up to 6 treatments for stubborn areas. We customize the approach based on your fat volume and individual goals. Most people do not need maintenance sessions since destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate.
Patients prefer this injectable because it avoids surgical risks and requires no general anesthesia. The treatment works with your body’s natural processes.
Main benefits include:
Results appear completely natural as cells break down gradually. Friends notice your refreshed profile without knowing you had treatment.
Our deoxycholic acid treatment addresses stubborn fat beneath the chin that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Submental fullness responds well to targeted injections, with early intervention often giving the best outcomes.
Jawline definition improves with strategic treatment planning. The lower face becomes more contoured as fat decreases, and the neck profile may improve. The double chin appearance diminishes with each session as the area becomes smoother and facial angles become more prominent.
Adults experiencing moderate submental fat get optimal results. The injectable works better when fat deposits are not excessive.
Good candidates include people with:
Some conditions require evaluation first, including active skin infections, certain medical conditions, blood-thinning medications, or previous chin surgery. Schedule a consultation to determine if you qualify.
The procedure follows a structured process for safety. Your appointment begins with a chin examination and photos documenting your current appearance.
We clean the treatment zone and apply numbing cream to reduce discomfort. Injection placement uses fine needles following a precise pattern. The formula goes into fat deposits under your skin. Most people feel only slight pressure and brief stinging. The entire process takes 15 to 20 minutes, and you can drive yourself home afterward.
Your chin may feel tender for several days. Most people experience swelling in treated areas that resolves within one to two weeks. Swelling is most noticeable after the first session.
Avoid touching your chin excessively for 48 hours. Ice packs help reduce swelling if needed.
Results develop gradually over several weeks. Some improvement appears within 2 to 4 weeks. Significant changes usually show after 6 to 8 weeks, with full results taking up to 6 months.
