Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin — melting away a stubborn “double chin” without surgery or downtime. For people who diet and exercise but can't shift submental fullness (often genetic), Kybella offers a real, lasting solution. At Focal Point Vitality in Scottsdale, Kybella is administered by experienced injectors. Here's how it works, what to expect, and results.
Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid, a substance your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys those fat cells — and because fat cells, once destroyed, don't regenerate, the results are permanent. Over the weeks following treatment, the body clears away the destroyed cells and the area gradually slims and tightens.
A Kybella session takes 15–20 minutes — a series of small injections under the chin after numbing. Some swelling afterward is expected (and is actually part of the process), typically settling over several days to a couple of weeks. Most people need 2 to 4 sessions spaced about a month apart for full results, depending on the amount of fat. Once you've reached your goal, results are long-lasting because the fat cells are gone.
Kybella is ideal for adults bothered by moderate submental fat — a double chin or fullness under the jaw — who'd prefer to avoid surgery. It's best for fat specifically; significant loose skin may be better addressed another way, which we'll assess at your consultation.
