Achieve a Sleeker Profile with Kybella® at Skin & Vein Institute

Do you find yourself bothered by stubborn fat under your chin? You’re not alone! Many people struggle with submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin or turkey neck. This condition can add years to your appearance and make you look heavier, and even with healthy eating and exercise, this is a tough spot to “work off.” Whether it’s due to aging, weight gain, or genetics, there’s a solution that doesn’t involve surgery—Kybella®.

Kybella® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to target and dissolve fat beneath the chin. The magic ingredient? Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. When injected into precise points beneath the chin, Kybella® works to break down fat cells, offering a trimmer profile without the need for surgery.

Treatment sessions are quick, taking 30 minutes or less, with minimal downtime. While you might experience minor swelling or bruising, most patients return to their normal activities within a day or two. Results are visible in four to six weeks, with most achieving their desired look after just two treatments. Best of all, the results are long-lasting!
