Kybella treatment in Costa Mesa, CA

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy fat cells under the chin. It’s a non-surgical treatment that improves facial contour by targeting submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, with minimal downtime.

Kybella is most commonly used to treat fat under the chin, but it can also target the jowl area and love handles. It’s ideal for reducing stubborn fat pockets in small, localized areas where exercise and diet fall short.

Patients usually need between two and four sessions spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. Some individuals may require up to 6 sessions depending on the amount of fat and desired outcome. Results develop gradually as the body breaks down fat cells.

Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common and may last several days to weeks. Numbness and firmness in the treated area may also occur. It is common for visible results to appear within four to six weeks, with full results noticeable by 12 weeks post-treatment.

Avoid alcohol, NSAIDs, and blood-thinning supplements for one week before treatment. Eat a full meal beforehand and arrive with clean skin. Plan your appointment ahead of important events to account for possible swelling and temporary bruising in the treated area.

Kybella pairs well with neurotoxins to smooth neck bands and dermal fillers for improved facial balance. Combining treatments enhances overall contour and rejuvenation results, helping achieve a slimmer, more youthful profile without undergoing invasive procedures.
