KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® Double Chin Fat Reduction
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment intended to address and eliminate submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is naturally produced in the body and plays a role in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Through injection into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, leaving a noticeable decrease in fullness under the chin. This quick treatment takes only 15 to 30 minutes per session and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking to improve their chin profile.
KYBELLA® is ideal for individuals bothered by excess fat under the chin but prefer a non-surgical option. Most patients see visible results after two to four treatments, with the full effect typically achieved within six treatments. There is no need to worry about long-term results, as the destroyed fat cells cannot grow or accumulate fat again. If you’re considering KYBELLA® in Wichita, KS, book an appointment at Glow 365 to discuss your treatment plan and achieve a more defined chin profile.

FAQ's
Who is a good candidate for KYBELLA®?
A good candidate for KYBELLA® is someone with mild to severe submental fat or a double chin who prefers a non-surgical treatment option. It’s suitable for those in good overall health who want to improve their chin profile.

Most patients begin to experience noticeable results after two to four treatments. The full results typically develop after completing the recommended series of treatments, usually within six sessions.
How long do results from KYBELLA® last?
The results from KYBELLA® are long-lasting because the procedure permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. Once these cells are eliminated, they cannot store or accumulate fat again, making further treatment unnecessary after achieving your desired outcome.

How does KYBELLA® work?
During the treatment, small injections are administered under the chin. The session usually lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. Patients may feel mild discomfort, but a numbing agent can enhance comfort during the procedure.
