Kybella®
Gazing into the mirror, many of us focus on the reflection that stares back, pondering over the changes we wish to see. Among these reflections, a common desire is to redefine the contours of our jawline, seeking a solution to diminish the appearance of a double chin that masks our true profile.

If you’re ready to discover how Kybella® can enhance your natural contours, scroll deeper to find out more about this transformative solution.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells beneath the chin, known medically as submental fullness. Its active ingredient, 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 these fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness and an improved profile.
Advantages of Kybella®
The journey with Kybella® reveals several key benefits:
- Targeted Fat Reduction. Kybella® specifically targets fat cells under the chin, offering a precise solution to reduce submental fullness without affecting the surrounding areas.
- Non-Surgical. As an injectable treatment, Kybella® provides an effective alternative to surgical options, eliminating the need for incisions or general anesthesia.
- Permanent Results. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, meaning the results achieved with Kybella® are permanent.
- Minimal Downtime. Compared to surgical procedures, Kybella® requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities relatively quickly.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your Kybella® treatment at Epiphany Clinic begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your chin profile and discuss your aesthetic goals.
During the treatment, a series of small injections will be administered into the fat under your chin, a process that typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
The exact number of injections and sessions will depend on the amount of fat present and your desired outcome.
Aftercare Tips
Following your Kybella® treatment, embracing a few aftercare practices can help ensure a smooth recovery:
-
- Using ice or a cold pack on the treated area can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
- It’s recommended to take it easy for a few days post-treatment to minimize swelling and promote healing.
- Drinking plenty of water can aid in the recovery process and maintain overall skin health.
