If you're struggling with a double chin or submental fat that doesn’t seem to go away, even with diet and exercise, you're not alone. Many people experience stubborn fat in this area, but fortunately, Kybella provides a safe and effective solution. As the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fullness (the fat under your chin), Kybella can help you achieve a slimmer, more defined chin profile—without surgery.
At SkinMD, medspa in Dearborn, Michigan, we offer this treatment to help you look and feel your best.
Kybella contains Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected into the targeted area, Kybella works to destroy fat cells in the submental area (under the chin). Once these fat cells are eliminated, they cannot return, which means the results are permanent, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
This treatment is specifically designed to target stubborn fat in the chin area, which can be challenging to reduce with just diet and exercise. If you're looking for a more contoured, youthful profile without the need for invasive surgery, Kybella is a fantastic option.
The procedure is quick and relatively simple. During your appointment at SkinMD, one of our injectable experts will use a series of small injections to deliver Kybella directly into the submental fat. The entire process typically takes around 15-20 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule.
Kybella treatments are minimally invasive, however, some mild discomfort or a slight burning sensation may occur during the injection, which usually subsides quickly. We take care to ensure that your comfort is prioritized throughout the treatment.
After your Kybella treatment, you may experience some swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the treated area. This is completely normal and should subside. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your SkinMD practitioner to maximize results and minimize discomfort.
You’ll be advised to avoid vigorous exercise for at least 48 hours, or until any swelling has gone down. Most people can resume normal activities the same day or within a few hours of the procedure. While there’s no significant downtime, you may notice swelling and discomfort for the first few days.
The number of Kybella treatments you’ll need varies depending on the amount of fat in the targeted area. Most patients require two to four treatments, spaced about one month apart. Your practitioner at SkinMD will assess your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Results from Kybella treatment are gradual. While you may begin to notice changes as early as four weeks, it typically takes up to six months to see the full effects. As fat cells are destroyed and your chin profile refines, you'll enjoy long-lasting results that enhance your overall appearance.
