How Kybella Works

Kybella contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that helps break down and absorb fat.

When injected into the area beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. Once those cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. After you achieve your desired result, additional treatment is typically not required.

What to Expect from Your Kybella Treatment at CLC

Consultation
Your treatment begins with an evaluation of the area under the chin. Your injector will determine whether Kybella is appropriate and develop a plan based on the amount of fullness and your goals.

During treatment
Kybella is administered as a series of small injections under the chin. The process takes approximately 15–20 minutes. The number of injections depends on the amount of fat being treated and your desired outcome.

After treatment
Improvement occurs gradually as the body clears the destroyed fat cells. Most patients begin to see visible changes within 3–4 weeks, with continued improvement up to 8 weeks after treatment.

Kybella — What Patients Ask Most

Am I a good candidate for Kybella?
You do not have to be overweight to experience fullness under the chin. If submental fullness persists despite diet and exercise, Kybella may be an appropriate option — particularly if the area makes you feel self-conscious or affects your profile.

How much does Kybella cost?
Cost varies depending on the amount of product required and the extent of treatment. Because every patient’s anatomy is different, exact pricing is determined during your consultation.

When will I see results?
Results typically begin to appear within 3–4 weeks and continue to improve for up to 8 weeks. Once the treated fat cells are destroyed, they cannot return.
