Kybella

New York Laser & Skin Care

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness beneath the chin, creating a more defined and sculpted profile. Using deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, Kybella works to break down and absorb fat cells in the targeted area. This allows for gradual, natural-looking improvement in contour without the need for surgery.

How Kybella Works

Once injected, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin, which are then metabolized by the body over time. Because these fat cells are permanently eliminated, results can be long-lasting with proper maintenance. Treatment plans are customized based on the degree of fullness and desired outcome.

What to Expect

Treatments are performed in-office and typically take less than an hour. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur temporarily as the body processes the treated fat. Over a series of sessions, patients will notice a progressive refinement of the jawline and a more balanced facial profile.
