What is Kybella?

Kybella is a revolutionary injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. This FDA-approved procedure uses deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat cells, providing a more defined jawline without the need for surgery.

How Does Kybella Work?

Kybella works by targeting and destroying fat cells beneath the chin. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, resulting in a noticeable reduction in submental fullness. Typically, multiple treatments are needed to achieve optimal results.

How Many Kybella Treatments Will I Need?

During your initial consultation with our staff, we will better be able to determine just how many treatments you will need. You may receive a total of six treatments, but on average, patients see visible results in just two to four treatments spaced one month apart.

How Long Does Kybella Last For?

One of the many benefits of Kybella, is that because it works to actually destroy existing fat cells, results should be permanent and no further treatment may be necessary for maintenance.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

During your consultation at Refine by Tulsi, we will assess your chin profile and determine the best treatment plan for you. Each Kybella session lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, and most patients require 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Minimal discomfort and downtime make Kybella an attractive option for those looking to enhance their appearance without surgery.
