The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid. Although this molecule naturally occurs in the body, when injected into the double chin area, the deoxycholic acid gets to work in breaking down the fat cells. As a result, you should see a reduction in the fullness under your chin. Once the fat cells have been destroyed, they will no longer be able to hold or store fat, meaning that once you have achieved your desired look, you should no longer need further sessions.

After the treatment, you may have a bit of swelling in the area, which should only last about 2-3 days, and bruising, which should only last up to two weeks. There is almost no downtime, although it is best to avoid excessive sweating and exercise for the first few days. Some may be satisfied with one session, however, we would recommend at least 3 sessions spaced one month apart for the best result, but no more than 6 sessions. You should see the final result from your procedures 6-8 weeks after your last session.
