Kybella Fat Dissolver

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, resulting in a more defined jawline. It works by using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat.

Permanently Destroy Fat Cells

Kybella or deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring substance within the body. When injected into stubborn fat cells in the submental area the fat cells are permanently destroyed.


Kybella is most often used for submental or buccal fat pads; however, it can be used off-label for bra or back fat.


Typically 2-4 treatments are required to obtain optimal results. When you book your Kybella appointment at Prim Aesthetics we will assess your needs and create the customized treatment you need.

Swelling and bruising can occur, typically subsiding within a week. There is some downtime associated with Kybella, and it’s important to be aware of the post-treatment effects:


Swelling: 


Significant swelling is common and expected, especially after the first treatment. This is a normal part of the process as the deoxycholic acid works to break down fat cells. Swelling usually peaks within the first 24-48 hours and gradually subsides over the next week to ten days.


Bruising and Redness: 

Mild bruising and redness at the injection sites are also common and typically resolve within a few days.


Tenderness: 

Some tenderness and discomfort in the treated area are normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if necessary.


Kybella should be planned weeks in advance from any event you plan to attend to ensure complete recovery and treatment results.

Yes, once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. Kybella works by using deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, to break down and absorb dietary fat. Here’s what you need to know:


Permanent Fat Reduction: 

The deoxycholic acid in Kybella permanently destroys the targeted fat cells under the chin. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat.


Maintaining Results: While the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve your results. Significant weight gain can lead to the development of new fat cells in the treated area.
