KYBELLA®
Permanently Eliminate Your Double Chin — No Surgery Required
WHAT IS KYBELLA®
You eat well. You work out. But that stubborn pocket of fat beneath your chin just… stays.
You’re not alone — and it’s not your fault. Submental fullness (commonly called a “double chin”) is largely genetic, and no amount of diet or exercise can target it. For years, the only solution was surgery.
Not anymore.
KyBella®
is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin — eliminating your double chin without surgery, without general anesthesia, and without a single incision.
At The Skin Therapist, our medical professionals use KyBella® to sculpt and define the jawline and chin area — creating a cleaner, sharper, more youthful profile that you’ll see every time you look in the mirror.
How Does KyBella® Work?
KyBella’s® active ingredient is deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath your chin, deoxycholic acid destroys the membrane of fat cells — causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by your body over the following weeks.
Here’s the most important part:
Once those fat cells are destroyed — they are gone permanently. They cannot store or accumulate fat again.
This means your results aren’t just long-lasting — they’re permanent.
What Does KyBella® Treat?
- Submental fat (double chin)
- Chin and jawline definition
- Profile improvement
- Genetic or stubborn chin fat unresponsive to diet and exercise
- Jowling and lower face heaviness
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
Before Your Treatment: A consultation is completed to assess the amount of submental fat, discuss your goals, and determine how many vials and sessions are needed for your desired outcome.
During Treatment:
- A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area
- A grid pattern is mapped beneath the chin to guide precise injection placement
- KyBella® is injected in a series of small injections across the treatment area
- Treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes
After Treatment: Swelling, redness, and tenderness beneath the chin are expected and completely normal — and are actually a sign that the treatment is working. Swelling can be significant in the first few days and gradually resolves over 2–4 weeks.
TREATMENT PLAN AND FREQUENCY
- Sessions per visit – Multiple injections per session
- Vials per session – 1–4 vials depending on the amount of fat present
- Sessions needed – Most clients need 2–4 sessions for optimal results
- Time between sessions – Minimum 4–6 weeks between each session
- Results timeline – Visible improvement begins at 4–6 weeks post-treatment; full results seen after completing your series
- Maintenance – None required — results are permanent once fat cells are destroyed
Some clients see their desired result in just 1–2 sessions. Others with more significant submental fat may need 3–4. Your provider will assess your anatomy at your consultation and give you a realistic treatment plan and timeline.

FAQ
Is KyBella® really permanent?
Yes. Once deoxycholic acid destroys the fat cells, they are permanently eliminated and cannot regenerate. As long as you maintain a stable weight, your results are permanent.
How many vials will I need?
This varies based on the amount of submental fat present. Most clients need 1–4 vials per session and 2–4 sessions total. Your provider will assess this at your consultation.
How much swelling should I expect?
Swelling beneath the chin is significant and expected — especially after your first session. Many clients describe looking “froggy” for the first 1–2 weeks. This is completely normal and is a sign the treatment is working. Plan accordingly around any major events.
Does KyBella® hurt?
We apply topical numbing prior to treatment, and KyBella contains lidocaine to further minimize discomfort. The injections themselves are quick. Post-treatment tenderness, numbness, and swelling are the most common sensations in the days following.
How is KyBella® different from liposuction?
KyBella achieves similar results to liposuction of the chin area — without surgery, general anesthesia, incisions, or significant downtime. Liposuction is a one-time surgical procedure; KyBella is a series of injectable treatments. Both permanently remove fat cells.
Can I combine KyBella® with other treatments?
Absolutely. KyBella is commonly combined with jawline filler, neurotoxin (masseter slimming), and neck treatments for a comprehensive lower face and jawline transformation. Your injector will build a complete plan.
When will I see my final result?
Final results are typically visible 4–8 weeks after your last session once all swelling has resolved and your body has fully eliminated the destroyed fat cells.
Am I a candidate for KyBella®?
Most adults with submental fat are candidates. A consultation is required to assess your anatomy and confirm candidacy. KyBella is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can I finance KyBella®?
Yes! Cherry Financing is available. Apply at Pay.WithCherry.com/the-skin-therapist/terms
