Kybella®
Kybella® is a non-surgical injectable that permanently dissolves submental fat, the stubborn fullness under the chin that is notoriously resistant to diet and exercise. Treatments take just 15 to 20 minutes with no downtime, and most patients see visible results in just 2 to 4 sessions.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an injectable treatment that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to permanently dissolve fat cells beneath the chin. Deoxycholic acid is a molecule your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. When injected into submental fat, it disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cells to break down and be absorbed by the body as waste. Once destroyed, those cells can no longer accumulate or store fat, which is why results are long-lasting and often permanent.
Submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, can develop as a result of aging, weight gain or genetics and is notoriously difficult to reduce through diet and exercise alone. Kybella® offers a non-surgical alternative for adults who want to address this concern without going under the knife.
CONCERNS TREATED
- Submental Fullness (Double Chin): Reduces excess fullness beneath the chin for a more sculpted and defined profile.
- Lack of Jawline Definition: Helps contour and refine the lower face by targeting stubborn pockets of fat under the chin.
- Stubborn Fat Resistant to Diet & Exercise: Treats localized fat that may not respond to lifestyle changes alone.
- Heavier Facial Appearance: Creates a slimmer, more balanced facial profile by improving definition in the chin and jawline area.
- Early Loss of Facial Contour: Enhances lower face definition for a more refined and structured appearance.
KYBELLA + SOFWAVE
Tighten Your Jawline Like No Other
Kybella and Sofwave work together to address both excess fullness and skin laxity under the chin for a more defined, sculpted jawline.
Kybella permanently reduces submental fat by breaking down and eliminating stubborn fat cells beneath the chin.
Sofwave uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, helping to tighten and firm the skin for improved lift and contour.
When combined, Kybella removes what creates fullness, while Sofwave improves what defines structure—resulting in a sharper, more contoured lower face over time. This pairing is ideal for patients looking for a non-surgical jawline transformation that targets both fat reduction and skin tightening for more balanced, long-lasting results.
How Does Kybella Work?
Deoxycholic acid is a molecule your body already produces naturally to help break down dietary fat. Kybella® introduces a synthetic version of this molecule directly into the submental fat via a series of small injections. On contact with fat cells, the deoxycholic acid disrupts the cell membrane, causing the cells to break down and be absorbed by the body as waste over the following weeks.
Treatments are customised to your individual anatomy. We administer several small injections in a grid-like pattern beneath the chin to ensure even coverage across the treatment area. A topical numbing cream is available for comfort. Each session takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Because the destroyed fat cells are permanently removed from the area, the body finds it very difficult to begin storing fat there again, which is why results tend to be long-lasting provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
