Kybella is a formulation of deoxycholic acid that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat cells. It is most commonly used for the destruction of fat cells under the chin, known as a "double chin". Kybella can also be used on other areas of the face and body where small pockets of stubborn fat are present.
For best results, a minimum of two treatments is typically needed spaced four to six weeks apart. Little to moderate downtime is expected.

Not everyone is a candidate for Kybella. A consultation is required prior to this treatment.
Kybella FAQ
Q: How many Kybella treatments will I need?
A: Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, though some may need up to 6 treatments depending on their anatomy and goals.
Q: Is there downtime after Kybella?
A: Yes, you can expect swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising in the treated area—especially after the first session. Swelling typically peaks within the first few days and subsides over a week.
