Kybella in Columbia

The Science Behind a Sleeker Profile

Kybella is an injectable treatment that helps reduce chin fat without surgery. It uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat, which the body then naturally processes. Over time, this leads to a more defined chin and neck with natural-looking results.

What is Kybella?

The Chemistry of Contouring

KYBELLA® is a series of minimally invasive treatments designed to target stubborn fat beneath the chin. Its active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, mimics a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When carefully injected into submental fat, Kybella destroys fat cells; once eliminated, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin and a more refined profile.

At Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa, your comfort, safety, and satisfaction are always the top priority.

The Science of Submental Smoothing

What is the Kybella procedure like?

Kybella is an advanced injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a substance found naturally in the body, to break down and permanently eliminate fat cells under the chin.

At Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa, experienced injectors use Kybella to contour the chin and neck, reducing unwanted fullness and sharpening your overall profile. During your customized appointment, a series of small injections is precisely placed in the treatment area, gradually minimizing the look of a double chin and enhancing a more sculpted, defined jawline. Most sessions take about 15 to 20 minutes. You may notice temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness, which typically improves within a few days. Many patients benefit from multiple sessions scheduled at least one month apart. Once the treated fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate, so results are long-lasting and help create a slimmer, more youthful appearance from every angle.

What concerns can Kybella improve?

Targeting the Stubborn "Double Chin"

Kybella is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment designed for areas where excess fullness is the main concern, not skin laxity.

Kybella is commonly used to reduce:

  • Submental Fullness – Often referred to as a 'double chin'
  • Localized Fat Deposits – Mild to moderate volume beneath the chin
  • Profile Imbalance – Helps refine and define the jawline

What areas of the body can Kybella treat?

Kybella is FDA-approved to reduce submental fat beneath the chin, refining the profile and jawline. In carefully selected off-label cases, it may also target small, stubborn fat pockets in other localized areas. Consult your provider to determine whether you qualify for broader treatment options.

The Right Move for a Refined Silhouette

Am I a candidate for Kybella?

Kybella is ideal for healthy adults who struggle with moderate fullness beneath the chin caused by excess fat rather than skin laxity. It is not appropriate for anyone with an active infection in the treatment area, certain bleeding issues, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

During your consultation, your injector will assess your anatomy, goals, and medical history to determine whether Kybella or another contouring option is the safest, most effective choice for you.

Settling Into Your Sharpest Look

Kybella Recovery

Following your injections, you can expect temporary swelling, redness, or bruising under the chin. Some people also notice a feeling of numbness, tenderness, or firmness in the area, which usually fades on its own within several days to about a week.

Most patients return to work and normal routines right away, though you should avoid strenuous workouts, heavy lifting, and intense heat exposure for the first 24–48 hours to help minimize swelling and support optimal results.

'Kybella Results

Most clients begin to see a sleeker profile within 4 to 6 weeks of their first Kybella session. Optimal results usually appear after 2 to 4 tailored treatments. Once the targeted fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good, delivering lasting definition under the chin.

Keeping your weight steady and following healthy lifestyle habits can help you enjoy your refined contour for years.
