What is Kybella?
Eliminate Your Double Chin โ No Surgery, No Downtime
Kybella is a prescription injectable made with synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. The injections destroy fat cells, enabling your body to flush them out naturally over time.
Once those fat cells are goneโtheyโre gone for good. That means Kybella offers permanent fat reduction. Common treatment areas include:
- Double chin (submental fullness)
- Jawline contouring
- Off-label uses in small, localized fat pockets (to be evaluated case by case)
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit and why?
Kybella is ideal for healthy adults with moderate to severe fullness beneath the chin who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Itโs especially beneficial for:
- Clients with genetic submental fat that doesnโt respond to diet or exercise
- Patients seeking a slimmer, more defined jawline
- Those looking for a permanent solution without downtime
- Individuals wanting subtle, progressive results
Itโs not a skin-tightening treatment, so Kybella is best for those with good skin elasticity. If loose skin or sagging is present, we may recommend pairing Kybella with other treatments.
During your complimentary consultation, our team will evaluate your facial anatomy and recommend a custom treatment plan to help you achieve a balanced, refined lower face.
How long does Kybella last?
Once fat cells are destroyed with Kybella, they donโt return. The results are considered permanentโassuming you maintain a stable weight. No ongoing treatments are needed once your final result is reached.
Is Kybella safe?
YesโKybella is FDA-approved and clinically proven to be safe and effective when administered by trained professionals. At Glow, all injectables are performed or overseen by experienced medical staff.
Who isnโt a candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active infections or inflammation in the treatment area. Itโs also not suitable for those with significant skin laxity or unrealistic expectations about fat loss.
How long does it take for Kybella to work?
Youโll start to see visible improvement around 4โ6 weeks after your first treatment. Full results typically appear after a series of treatments spaced about a month apart.
Is Kybella for men too?
Yes โ Kybella is an excellent option for men who want to reduce submental fullness and achieve a more defined, sculpted jawline. In fact, many male clients choose Kybella as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, especially when fat beneath the chin doesnโt respond to diet or exercise. During your consultation, weโll tailor the treatment to suit your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Does Kybella hurt?
Most clients describe the treatment as a brief stinging or burning sensation, which is minimized with topical numbing and cooling. Swelling afterward is expected and can be tender for a few days, especially after the first session.
How much does Kybella cost?
The cost of Kybella varies based on the number of vials used per session and how many sessions are needed to reach your ideal result. Most clients need at least two treatments, and some require additional sessions depending on fat volume and desired definition.
Weโll review your custom treatment planโand available payment optionsโduring your complimentary consultation.
What to Expect During and After Your Treatment
Each Kybella session takes about 20โ30 minutes. After marking the injection points, a numbing agent is applied for comfort. Then, small amounts of Kybella are precisely injected into the targeted fat layer under the chin.
Post-treatment, you can expect:
- Swelling (often moderate to significant) for several days to a week
- Mild tenderness, bruising, or firmness at the injection site
- Gradual fat breakdown over 4โ6 weeks per session
Most clients require 2โ4 treatments, spaced about one month apart, for optimal results. Some may need up to 6 sessions depending on the amount of fat and desired contour.
Thereโs no formal downtime, but we recommend planning treatments when you can accommodate swellingโespecially after your first visit.
