Kybella® (Deoxycholic Acid Injections)
Can Kybella® be used to treat other areas?
Deoxycholic acid injections are currently only FDA approved to treat submental fat
cells under the chin.
How is the procedure performed?
Prior to the procedure you will be given a numbing cream, which you apply 45 minutes
to 1 hour before your scheduled appointment time. The provider will apply a marking
grid with colored dots, similar to a temporary tattoo, to the area indicating specific
injections sites. Once the grid is in place, several injections are administered. You do
not feel the injections, but some discomfort is experienced while the product begins to
take effect, usually about halfway through the procedure. After treatment, we remove
the marking grid, and apply ice to the area.
What is the downtime?
Immediately after treatment, you will experience some discomfort when moving the head up, down, and side to side. Within the next couple weeks
you will experience swelling and numbness.
When will I see results?
After 4 weeks you will see a noticeable contour in the jaw area, which can continue to improve up to 12 weeks. Multiple treatments are recommended.
How many treatments will I need?
We recommend patients receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 1 month apart.
