Kybella: The Non-Surgical Solution for Double Chin Reduction at Radiance Skincare & Laser Medspa

Radiance Skincare & Laser Medspa in Wheaton, IL, is pleased to offer Kybella, the only FDA-approved procedure that permanently reduces fat under the chin, also known as a “double chin.” Kybella provides a non-surgical solution for patients looking to improve their facial profile by eliminating stubborn fat that diet and exercise cannot address. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of Kybella, how the procedure works, and why it’s a great option for those looking for a sleeker, more defined jawline.

How the Kybella Procedure Works?

Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid, which aids in breaking down and absorbing fat in the body. Kybella destroys fat cells beneath the chin, preventing them from storing fat in the future.

An injection under the chin is used in the treatment. Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Each session lasts around 15-20 minutes, and since the fat cells are permanently destroyed, further treatment is usually unnecessary after the desired results are achieved.
