Kybella Treatment

Eliminate Submental Fat with Kybella at Skin Thesis

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness, commonly known as a “double chin.” At Skin Thesis, our skilled practitioners administer Kybella to permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin, providing a non-surgical solution for a more defined jawline and a slimmer appearance.
Concerns: Double Chin ⸱ Sagging Skin ⸱ Undefined Jawline
Treatment Areas: Lower Face ⸱ Neck

What is Kybella?

Kybella’s active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat, meaning that retreatment is generally not needed once the desired aesthetic is achieved.

Benefits of Kybella Treatment

  • Reduces Double Chin: Contours and defines the jawline by eliminating submental fat.
  • Non-surgical: Offers a non-invasive alternative to liposuction with no incisions or surgery.
  • Permanent Results: Once fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regrow, making results permanent once the treatment series is complete.
  • Quick Sessions: Each session lasts about 15-30 minutes, with minimal downtime.
  • Customizable: Treatment plans are tailored to your unique needs, with up to 2-4 sessions recommended for optimal results.

Pricing

The cost of Kybella treatment at Skin Thesis varies based on the number of treatments required to achieve your desired results. Most patients require multiple sessions to see optimal results, with treatments priced at $650 per vial. Schedule a consultation today to create your personalized treatment plan.

Before the Treatment

To ensure the best results from your Kybella treatment, please follow these pre-treatment guidelines:
  • Limit Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24-48 hours before your treatment, as alcohol may increase the risk of bruising.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop taking anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications, such as Vitamin E, fish oil, or ginkgo biloba, one week prior to treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
  • Skin Care: Avoid using retinoids, glycolic acid, and other exfoliating skincare products for a few days before your appointment.
  • Medical History: Inform your practitioner of any medications you are currently taking or any relevant medical history, such as allergies.
  • Consider Pain Relief: Taking Tylenol 30-60 minutes before your appointment may help alleviate any potential discomfort during the procedure.

During the Treatment

Your Kybella treatment will be performed by one of our experienced injectors:
  • Procedure Duration: Each session typically takes 15-30 minutes.
  • Precise Injection Process: Using a fine needle, our practitioner will inject Kybella into the targeted areas beneath your chin. The number of injections will depend on your specific treatment plan.
  • Comfort and Sensation: You may feel a mild stinging or burning sensation as the deoxycholic acid works to break down the fat cells. Our team will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible during the treatment.

After the Treatment

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and results from your Kybella treatment:
  • Downtime: Swelling, redness, or bruising is normal and may last for a few days to a week after treatment. In some cases, swelling can last up to 2 weeks. Ice packs and arnica can help reduce swelling and bruising.
  • Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment.
  • Avoid Alcohol: Steer clear of alcohol for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
  • Be Patient: Results are not immediate and will become noticeable within 6-8 weeks as the body gradually eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Additional treatments may be needed to achieve your desired outcome.
  • Follow-Up Treatments: Depending on your needs, 2 to 4 treatments may be required for optimal results, spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
