Safe and Effective

What is Kybella?

Kybella is a revolutionary injectable treatment that uses a naturally occurring substance called deoxycholic acid. This acid targets and destroys fat cells in specific areas, eliminating them from the body. Kybella is ideal for addressing small pockets of fat that are resistant to traditional fat-loss methods. The most popular treatment target is submental fat under the chin, but Kybella is effective in other areas as well.

Yes, Kybella treatment can be effectively combined with other med spa treatments, such as chemical peels, dermal fillers, or microneedling, to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation results. Our customized treatment plans are designed to address your specific goals and help you achieve your desired outcome.

Kybella is formulated with deoxycholic acid, a type of bile acid found naturally in the human digestive system. When injected, it targets and destroys fat cells in the submental area or elsewhere. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. The body then naturally processes and eliminates the broken down fat cells through the lymphatic system.

Good candidates for Kybella are adults seeking a non-surgical treatment for moderate to severe submental fat or isolated fat pockets in other areas of the body. Kybella is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it minimizes localized fat deposits in targeted areas.

The number of treatments needed varies from person to person. Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions, spaced at least one month apart, to achieve their desired results. Some Kybella patients may need up to 6 sessions.

Common post-treatment reactions, such as swelling and bruising, are typically short-lived and self-resolving. Uncommon yet severe effects, like jaw nerve impairment causing facial asymmetry, underscore the importance of receiving expert care from professionals like Karishma Lakhani, PA, to mitigate these risks.

The results of Kybella are considered permanent. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. Maintaining a stable weight can help ensure long-lasting results.

To prepare for a Kybella treatment, avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications, blood thinners, and supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo biloba for at least a week before the procedure, as these can increase bruising and bleeding. It's also advisable to avoid alcohol for a few days before the treatment.
