At Formula Wellness, we offer Kybella treatments designed to permanently reduce submental fullness, commonly known as the double chin, using the only FDA-approved injectable specifically developed for this purpose.

Kybella addresses one of the most common and most frustrating aesthetic concerns, an area of fat that is notoriously resistant to diet and exercise, with a precise, minimally invasive procedure that produces permanent results.

Schedule your Kybella consultation at Formula Wellness and take the first step toward a cleaner, more defined profile.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment containing synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

When injected into submental fat, Kybella destroys the cell membranes of fat cells, causing them to break down and be permanently eliminated by the body's natural metabolic processes.

Because fat cells do not regenerate once destroyed, the results of Kybella are permanent. Once the desired aesthetic outcome is achieved, further treatment is not expected to be needed, provided weight remains stable.

Why Choose Formula Wellness?

Our aesthetic providers understand that precise placement and careful dosing are what separate excellent Kybella results from suboptimal ones.

The submental region requires a thorough knowledge of the underlying anatomy to ensure effective fat reduction while protecting surrounding structures.

Our providers take a meticulous, conservative approach that prioritizes both safety and the most natural-looking outcome possible.

What Kybella Treats

Kybella is specifically designed for the submental region, addressing the fat accumulation and contour concerns that make this area one of the most requested targets in non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

Submental Fullness

Kybella is specifically FDA-approved for the reduction of moderate to severe submental fullness, the accumulation of fat beneath the chin that creates the appearance of a double chin. This area is frequently resistant to diet and exercise due to genetic predisposition, making Kybella one of the most clinically meaningful non-surgical options available for profile refinement.

Jawline Definition

By reducing the volume of submental fat, Kybella produces a sharper, more defined transition between the chin and neck, improving overall jawline definition and facial balance from both the frontal and profile views.

Neck Contouring

Excess submental fat contributes to a less defined neck contour. Kybella treatment improves the cervicomental angle, the angle between the chin and neck, producing a cleaner, more youthful neck profile.

What to Expect From Your Kybella Treatment

Kybella produces permanent fat reduction, but achieving the desired result typically requires a series of treatment sessions.

Number of Sessions – Most patients require between two and four treatment sessions, spaced at least four to six weeks apart, to achieve their optimal outcome. Some patients with more significant submental fullness may benefit from additional sessions. Your Formula Wellness provider will assess your anatomy during your consultation and give you a realistic expectation of how many sessions are likely needed.
The Kybella Procedure – Each session involves a series of small injections administered in a precise grid pattern across the treatment area. The procedure takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and is performed with topical numbing for maximum comfort.
After Your Kybella Treatment – Following treatment, patients typically experience swelling, tenderness, and some firmness in the treated area. Swelling is a normal and expected part of the process, reflecting the inflammatory response that initiates fat cell destruction. It generally peaks within the first few days and resolves progressively over two to four weeks.

How the Kybella Treatment Process Works

Kybella treatment at Formula Wellness is a structured, carefully supervised process designed to deliver safe, effective, and lasting results.

Step 1: Consultation

Your provider assesses your submental anatomy, skin laxity, and aesthetic goals to determine whether Kybella is the most appropriate treatment for your concerns and how many sessions are likely needed to achieve your desired outcome.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

A precise injection grid is mapped based on your individual anatomy, ensuring optimal coverage of the treatment area while protecting surrounding structures.

Step 3: Injection

Kybella is administered through a series of small injections across the submental area following topical numbing. Most sessions take 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish.

Step 4: Follow-Up and Subsequent Sessions

Your provider assesses your progress at follow-up appointments and schedules additional sessions based on your response and remaining treatment goals until your desired outcome is achieved.

Kybella Frequently Asked Questions

How many Kybella treatments will I need?

Most patients require between two and four sessions to achieve their optimal result, spaced at least four to six weeks apart. The exact number depends on the amount of submental fat present and your individual aesthetic goals. Your provider will give you a personalized estimate during your consultation.

Is Kybella permanent?

Yes. Deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells permanently, and destroyed fat cells do not regenerate. As long as weight remains stable, the results of Kybella are lasting. Significant weight gain after treatment could result in new fat accumulation in the area, but the cells destroyed by Kybella will not return.

Does Kybella hurt?

Most patients experience a burning or stinging sensation during the injection process, which typically subsides within a few minutes. Topical numbing is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort, and your provider will take every step to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.

How much swelling should I expect after Kybella?

Swelling is a normal, expected, and actually desirable response to Kybella, as it reflects the inflammatory process that initiates fat cell destruction. Most patients experience noticeable swelling for one to two weeks following each session, with progressive reduction over two to four weeks. Planning treatments with this timeline in mind is advisable if you have upcoming events or occasions.

Can Kybella be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Kybella is frequently combined with neurotoxins and dermal fillers to achieve more comprehensive lower face and jawline rejuvenation. It also complements skin tightening treatments in patients who want to address both submental fat and skin laxity simultaneously. Your Formula Wellness provider will recommend a coordinated plan based on your goals.

Am I a good candidate for Kybella?

Kybella is most effective for patients with moderate to severe submental fullness and good skin elasticity. Patients with significant skin laxity in the neck and chin area may be better served by treatments that also address skin tightening, or by a combination approach. Your provider will assess your anatomy thoroughly during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment path for your specific concerns.
