At Allure Aesthetics in Dallas, we offer Kybella, an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” This non-surgical solution is perfect for those looking to achieve a more defined jawline and a slimmer, more contoured neck profile. Kybella provides a safe and effective way to eliminate stubborn fat beneath the chin without the need for invasive procedures.

​

What is Kybella?

​

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and reduces fat cells under the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella works by destroying fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to long-lasting results.

​

How Does Kybella Work?

​

Kybella works through a series of injections directly into the submental fat beneath the chin. The deoxycholic acid in Kybella breaks down the fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body over time. The process is gradual, allowing for a natural-looking reduction in chin fat without the need for surgery or extensive recovery time.

 

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

​

Before your Kybella treatment at Allure Aesthetics, you’ll have a thorough consultation with one of our experienced professionals. During this consultation, we’ll assess your chin area, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Kybella is the right treatment for you.

​

The actual treatment is relatively quick, typically taking 15-20 minutes. Using a fine needle, Kybella is injected into the submental fat in a series of small injections. The number of injections and treatments needed will depend on the amount of fat and your desired results. Most patients require 2-3 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results.

​

What to Expect After Treatment

 

Following your Kybella treatment, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated area. These side effects are typically mild and subside within a few days. As the fat cells are gradually broken down and eliminated, you’ll begin to see a reduction in chin fat over the following weeks. Most patients start to notice visible improvement after their second treatment, with optimal results usually seen after 2-3 treatments.
