Important Steps in Kybella Treatment

Consultation & Assessment

We start with a personalized consultation to evaluate the fat under your chin and determine whether Kybella is the right choice for you. Your injector will explain how many sessions you may need and answer all your questions.

Precise Injection

Using a fine needle, Kybella is carefully injected into the fat beneath the chin. The solution begins to break down fat cells, which are gradually flushed out by your body over the coming weeks.

Post-Treatment Care

Most clients can return to normal activities right after treatment. We’ll give you simple aftercare tips to reduce swelling and ensure smooth healing.

Why Does a Double Chin Form?

Double chins—also called submental fullness—can appear due to genetics, aging, or weight changes. Even people at a healthy weight may carry extra fat under the chin. Unfortunately, this area is often resistant to diet and exercise. That’s where Kybella comes in.

How Kybella Works

Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down fat. When injected into the submental area, it destroys fat cells so your body can eliminate them. Once those cells are gone, they don’t come back—making Kybella a permanent solution for double chin reduction (as long as your weight stays stable). We use Health Canada–approved Kybella for safe, effective results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella

How many Kybella sessions will I need?

Most clients need 2 to 4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on how much fat is being treated.

Does Kybella hurt?

You may feel a stinging or warming sensation during the injection. We apply a numbing cream beforehand to keep you comfortable.

Is the fat gone forever?

Yes! Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they are gone for good. As long as your weight remains stable, results are permanent.

Will I need time off?

There’s usually some swelling and tenderness for a few days, but most people go back to their regular routine the same day or the next.

Can I combine Kybella with other treatments?

Absolutely. Many clients combine Kybella with TempSure Envi (radiofrequency skin tightening) for more definition under the chin and along the jawline.
