Kybella Double Chin Treatment in Los Angeles

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin (submental area). The active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

When injected into the submental fat, Kybella destroys fat cells so they can no longer store or accumulate fat. Once the desired results are achieved, further treatment is not expected.

How Kybella Works

During treatment, your provider administers a series of small injections under the chin. The deoxycholic acid targets and destroys fat cells in the treatment area. Over the following weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, resulting in a more contoured chin and jawline.

What to Expect

• Number of Sessions — Most clients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart
• Treatment Time — Each session takes approximately 15-20 minutes
• Downtime — Swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treatment area are common for 1-2 weeks
• Results — Gradual improvement visible after each session, with final results once the treatment series is complete
• Permanence — Results are permanent as destroyed fat cells do not regenerate

Ideal Candidates

Kybella is ideal for adults with moderate to severe submental fat (double chin) who want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. It is not a weight-loss treatment and works best for targeted fat reduction in the chin area.
