Permanently Reduce Submental Fullness
Price: $600 per session
Kybella® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce unwanted fat under the chin and along the jawline. By targeting and destroying fat cells, Kybella helps create a more sculpted, defined profile without surgery or downtime associated with invasive procedures.
At Balance Aesthetics Med Spa, Kybella treatments are performed by Dr. Scileppi who prioritizes natural-looking results, facial balance, and patient safety.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into targeted fat pockets, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.
Once these fat cells are gone, they cannot return — making Kybella a long-term solution for stubborn fat that does not respond to diet or exercise.
Areas Commonly Treated with Kybella
Kybella is FDA-approved for use under the chin (submental fat) and is commonly used off-label by experienced providers in select areas, including:
- Under the chin (double chin)
- Jawline fullness
- Jowls (in appropriate candidates)
- Bra fat
- Small pockets of stubborn fat
A personalized consultation is essential to determine if Kybella is the right treatment for your goals.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients require 2–4 treatment sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Some patients may need fewer or more treatments depending on the amount of fat being treated and their desired outcome.
Results develop gradually as the body processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells.
What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your anatomy, fat distribution, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals. A customized treatment plan will be created specifically for you.
Treatment
- Treatment time: approximately 20–30 minutes
- A series of small injections are placed into the targeted fat area
- Discomfort is typically mild and temporary
-
A cold pack is used afterwards to minimize swelling and tenderness
After Treatment
Swelling is expected and is actually a sign that the product is working. Swelling may last several days to a few weeks depending on the individual and treatment area.
Results & Longevity
- Fat reduction is permanent
- Results appear gradually over several weeks
- Improved jawline definition and profile contour
- No surgery or general anesthesia required
While fat cells do not return, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is recommended to support long-term results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?
Kybella may be right for you if you:
- Are bothered by fullness under the chin or small pockets of fat
- Are close to your ideal weight
- Prefer a non-surgical treatment option
- Have good skin elasticity
- Want gradual, natural-looking improvement
Kybella is not a weight-loss treatment and is best suited for localized fat.
Safety & Side Effects
Kybella is FDA-approved and clinically studied. Common side effects may include:
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Numbness
- Firmness in the treated area
These effects are temporary and typically resolve on their own. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by trained medical professionals.
