Kybella is the commercial name for deoxycholic acid. Your body naturally produces this substance in your digestive system. It helps to break down fats so they’re more easily digested. Deoxycholic acid is also used as an emulsifier in foods. It’s also a non-surgical option for lipomas, non-cancerous tumors made of fat cells.
This procedure, also known as “cool sculpting,” treats a double chin. The clinician places a handpiece under the chin and chills fat cells there almost to the point of freezing, damaging their membranes so they are absorbed and metabolized by the body. The treatment itself takes about an hour, and results are seen over the subsequent two months. The procedure is usually effective and can be performed more than once. It can also be used to reduce love handles on the waist.
The shots can be slightly uncomfortable, and there is potential for swelling, pain, and redness for one week. The fat under the chin will disappear over the course of the next four to six weeks. Like cryolipolysis, these injections are usually effective and can be repeated two or three times.

The product used for treatment is similar to a naturally occurring molecule that is produced by the body and absorbs fat called deoxycholic acid. When injected into the submental fat (Double Chin) it physically destroys fat cells. As the cells are destroyed, they are removed out of your body through the lymphatic system, resulting in a gradual reduction in the double chin over a 6-8 week period.
Assessing your suitability for this procedure is critical. Our clinicians will perform a thorough assessment prior to treatment. Suitability depends on the amount of fat present and the degree of skin laxity under the chin.
A good candidate is a patient with a mild to moderate fat deposit and good skin tightness.
If there is no fat present and the Double Chin is due to lose skin and muscle, then you are not suitable for this procedure. Mono-thread treatment may help skin laxity. For patients with a large amount of fat under the chin area, liposuction may be more effective.
Double Chin treatments may provide permanent results because the fat dissolving injections act by destroying fat cells in the area treated, resulting in the inability to store fat again. Unless you experience significant changes in your diet or lifestyle habits, excessive amounts of fat should not develop in the treatment site in the future.
Results from this treatment will appear gradually and become more noticeable with each treatment. Typically, patients see optimum results after 2-4 treatments.
A thorough assessment and consultation followed by a treatment plan is discussed with you. Each patient has individual anatomy, goals, and facial balance so we individualize every treatment. Photographic documentation is part of every initial assessment. The clinicians at Face To Face Medical are highly skilled and strive for the best and most natural result possible.
At Laser Prixes all of our injectors strive to make this treatment as comfortable as possible. Local anaesthetic injections are used to reduce pain during the procedure. Minimal discomfort during treatment is normal and most patients tolerate this procedure very well. After treatment is completed, and the local anaesthetic wears off, there may be a burning sensation under your chin for a few hours. Some redness and swelling can be expected post treatment.
