Fat Dissolution: Deoxycholic acid in Kybella disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the fat cells to release their contents.

Metabolism and Elimination: Once released, the fat is processed and metabolized by the body, eventually eliminated through natural processes.

Tissue Tightening: As the fat cells are eliminated, the surrounding skin tightens and firms, resulting in a more contoured and youthful appearance.

The actual Kybella treatment involves a series of injections directly into the targeted submental area. The number of injections and sessions required varies based on individual factors, such as the amount of submental fat and personal goals.

While results may vary, most individuals notice a reduction in their double chin's appearance within a few weeks to months after the initial treatment series. Several sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. This means that, with a healthy lifestyle, the results can be long-lasting.
