The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

How is Kybella® administered?
Treatment can only be administered by a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare specialist, which all GLO injectors are.. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile.
How many Kybella® treatment sessions will I need?
Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your injector will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In our experience most clients receive 3 treatments.

FAQs
What is KYBELLA® and how does it work?
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that breaks down and absorbs fat cells. As the fat cells are destroyed, they can’t store or accumulate fat, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.
How many KYBELLA® treatments are needed to see results?
The number of KYBELLA® treatments required varies depending on the individual’s specific needs and the amount of submental fat. Most patients experience visible results after 2 to 4 treatments, with sessions spaced about one month apart. We will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Are there any side effects associated with KYBELLA®?
Common side effects of KYBELLA® include swelling, bruising, pain, redness, tingling, or numbness at the injection site. These side effects are commonly temporary and will go away on their own within a few days to a week. It’s important to discuss any worries or concerns with your healthcare provider.
Is KYBELLA® a permanent solution for double chin reduction?
Yes, KYBELLA® provides a permanent solution for reducing submental fat. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are permanently eliminated and cannot store or accumulate fat again. However, maintaining healthy habits and a stable weight is essential to preserve the results.
How should I prepare for a KYBELLA® treatment?
To prepare for a KYBELLA® treatment, avoid taking blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications, and supplements like fish oil and vitamin E at least one week before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising. It’s also recommended to avoid alcohol and smoking before the treatment. We will give you specific pre-treatment instructions based on your medical history and current medications.
What can I expect during the recovery period after a KYBELLA® treatment?
After a KYBELLA® treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness under the chin, which are normal and expected reactions. Applying ice packs and having over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort. Most patients can carry on with normal activities within a day or two, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days to minimize swelling. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
