Boost Your Confidence with Kybella®

Explore Kybella® as a Non-Surgical Option for Double Chin Reduction

Kybella®

Fat-Dissolving Injectable

Learn about Kybella®, a revolutionary treatment option for treating the stubborn double chin area. Kybella® is an FDA approved synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and helps us absorb dietary fat. Kybella® injections dissolve fat cells in the submental area (area beneath the chin) as a non-surgical option for jawline contouring and improving the profile of the face.

Procedure Overview

During a Kybella® treatment session, one of our skilled practitioners injects small and evenly spaced amounts of product in the submental area using a fine needle. The treatment itself only takes 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the area. Immediately following the procedure and for several days after, swelling can be expected. Kybella® is recommended as a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart in order to create optimal outcomes.

Kybella® is effective in:

Reducing submental fullness (double chin)
Dissolving excess fat under the chin that can blunt the borders of the jawline
Contouring facial profile

Frequently Asked Questions

There is only mild discomfort associated with the procedure and most patients consider it quite tolerable. We do not typically numb the area for the procedure but do apply ice to minimize discomfort. Some patients experience mild discomfort from the Kybella® itself rather than the injection but that typically resolves over minutes to hours.
Although Kybella® starts working immediately, we typically recommend waiting 4-6 weeks to see a final result. This will allow time for the medication to work and for the swelling to completely resolve.
How many treatments you need depends entirely on your anatomy and how much fat will need to be dissolved. It is not uncommon, however, for patients to receive 2-4 sessions for a treatment course.
For current Kybella® pricing, please visit the Nevé Online Booking Portal.
Kybella® treatments are typically sold in a package for $1800 regardless of the number of sessions or $600/session.
Treatments with Kybella® are considered permanent, as the fat cells that create submental fullness (double chin) are destroyed.
Kybella® is only FDA approved to be used in the submental (double chin) area. Although many other medical spas may use Kybella® on other areas of the face, we at June Aesthetics and Medspa, will only administer it in the FDA approved area.
