What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an injectable treatment approved to destroy fat cells permanently. Depending on the amount of fat present, one to five vials of Kybella® may be needed during a single treatment session, and multiple treatment sessions may be necessary. The most common area of treatment is the submental fat, otherwise known as a ‘double chin’. Treatments can stop once a desired aesthetic goal has been reached.
How does Kybella® work to eliminate a double chin?
Kybella® works by using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin (known as submental fat), Kybella® destroys fat cells permanently, allowing the body to naturally metabolize and eliminate them over time. Once these cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat—resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin and a more defined jawline. Most clients begin to see visible results after 2–4 treatments, with full results appearing after a customized series of sessions.
How many Kybella® treatments will I need?
The number of Kybella® treatments needed varies depending on the amount of submental fat and your desired results. Most clients require a series of 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal chin contouring. Some individuals with more fullness may need up to 6 treatments. During your consultation at Rejuv Aesthetics + Wellness in Kearney, MO, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique profile and goals. The best part? Once the fat cells are eliminated, results are long-lasting with no need for touch-ups.
Kybella® Aftercare and Recovery Tips
After your Kybella® treatment, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness under the chin. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days to a week. To minimize swelling, apply a cold compress in the first 24 hours and keep your head elevated. Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and salty foods for the first few days to reduce inflammation. It's important not to massage or touch the treated area excessively. At Rejuv Aesthetics + Wellness, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Most clients can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
