KYBELLA
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment used to reduce unwanted fat and improve contour in targeted areas, helping create a more defined and balanced profile. This injectable option is ideal for patients seeking long-term fat reduction without surgery.
Kybella is a man-made form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring material that helps the body absorb fat and is an FDA-approved injectable that improves the appearance of double chins by destroying fat cells. It is a safe and effective treatment that requires little downtime, and it is available at Youthful You Aesthetics, located in Peoria, AZ.
Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store fat and the body’s natural healing and elimination processes take over. In about four to six weeks, your fat deposits are dramatically reduced or eliminated!
In clinical trials used by the FDA, even those patients who gained weight after Kybella injectables did not see their fatty areas return.
Most people can receive Kybella injections without any problems, but talk to your doctor or Kybella consultant, whether you would be a good candidate. Kybella can only be used by adults 18 and over. You do need to follow post-treatment recommendations.
The average patient needs 2-4 vials of Kybella ($1,200 to $2,400)

-
Kybella is approved for the area under the chin, but in some cases can be used off-label for small pockets of stubborn fat (e.g., jowls, bra fat, or lower cheek “buccal” area depending on facial anatomy). Your injector will determine if you're a safe candidate.
-
You may feel a warm, stinging sensation for the first few minutes after injections. Numbing cream, ice, or injectable lidocaine can be used to make the process more comfortable.
-
Swelling is very normal and often the most noticeable side effect. Expect 2–3 days of moderate swelling, with residual puffiness lasting up to 10–14 days. The first treatment usually has the most swelling.
-
There is no mandatory downtime, but swelling and tenderness may make you want to lay low for a few days.
-
Most people begin noticing improvement around 4–6 weeks, with full results visible after completing the recommended series.
-
Yes! Once the treated fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. Maintaining a stable weight will help preserve your contour.
