Kybella® in Magnolia, WA
You know that little pocket of fat under your chin that won’t go away no matter how well you eat or how you angle your face in selfies? That’s submental fullness, AKA the dreaded double chin. At Lux Aesthetics, Medical Director Erin Bernstein and our team of aesthetic specialists love helping you achieve that snatched, sculpted jawline without having to go under the knife.
Kybella® is a non-surgical injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under your chin, giving you a sleeker, more contoured profile. It’s quick, effective, and totally worth it if you dream of a more defined jawline without downtime.
What Exactly Is Kybella®, Anyway?
Kybella® uses deoxycholic acid, a substance your body already makes to help digest fat. When injected into specific areas, this FDA-approved formula breaks down fat cells through a process called lipolysis. Once those cells are destroyed, your body clears them out permanently.
Where Can Kybella® Be Used?
Most people think of Kybella® as the go-to for double chins — and it is. But it’s also becoming a secret weapon for treating other small, stubborn fat pockets. We can use it to target:
- Under the chin
- Bra bulges (right near the armpit)
- Inner thighs (especially those little pinchable spots)
- Lower belly pooches
If you have a small, defined area that just won’t lose fat, Kybella® might be able to help. We’ll assess everything during your consultation and map out a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
Who’s a Good Fit for Kybella®?
If you’ve got moderate to significant fullness under your chin and good skin elasticity (meaning your skin will bounce back nicely after the fat’s gone), Kybella® could be a great option. It's not meant for sagging skin or loose muscles, but you're probably a good candidate if you're mostly dealing with volume.
We’ll walk you through all the details and confirm that you’re a solid match before moving forward.
What’s the Treatment Like?
Quick. Easy. In-office. We’ll clean the area, apply numbing cream to keep things comfortable, and then inject Kybella® in a customized pattern based on your anatomy. The whole thing takes about 15–30 minutes, and then you’re free to go about your day (with maybe just a little extra swelling).
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most people need about 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. It really depends on the area we’re treating and how much fat is present. The good news? Once the fat cells are gone, they’re gone forever. In other words, after you’ve reached your goal, no maintenance sessions are needed.
What’s the Downtime Like for Kybella®?
We won’t sugarcoat it: you will notice swelling, especially after the first treatment. But it’s manageable and totally normal. Think of it as your body’s way of processing the fat breakdown. Swelling typically peaks around 48 hours post-treatment and improves within a week. We always recommend planning your first session at least two weeks before any big social or professional events, just to be safe.
