Stubborn fat under the chin, also known as a double chin, can affect your confidence and make you self-conscious about your appearance. If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to reduce fat in this area, KYBELLA® at Dermatique Laser and Skin offers a safe and effective solution. KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, giving the jawline a more defined and contoured appearance.
In this article, we’ll explain the benefits of KYBELLA®, what to expect during the procedure, and how our caring team of expert practitioners ensures a personalized and comfortable experience.
KYBELLA® is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down fat. When injected under the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and excreted by your body over time. Once the fat cells are destroyed, fat cannot be stored or accumulated, offering a permanent solution for double chin reduction.
During your KYBELLA® appointment at Dermatique Laser and Skin, one of our skilled practitioners will carefully map out the treatment area and administer small injections under your chin. The treatment generally takes 20 to 30 minutes, and the number of treatments needed will vary based on your specific needs. Most patients see optimal results after two to four sessions spaced at least one month apart.
KYBELLA® is ideal for individuals with moderate to severe fat under the chin who prefer a non-surgical approach. It’s perfect for those looking to achieve a slimmer, more contoured profile without the downtime associated with surgery.
