See how Dr. Thanasi Loukas performs Kybella injections at our Park Ridge office. Kybella uses deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring molecule in the body — to break down and absorb dietary fat under the chin (submental fat).

Once destroyed, these fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, meaning results are permanent after your treatment series is complete.

Key Benefits:

FDA-approved for submental (under-chin) fat reduction
Non-surgical alternative to liposuction
Permanent results — fat cells are destroyed
No general anesthesia required
Minimal downtime (2–3 days of swelling)
Most patients need 2–4 treatment sessions

How Does Kybella Work?

Kybella’s active ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is identical to the molecule your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin:

Targeted injection: Dr. Loukas precisely injects Kybella into the submental fat using a grid pattern
Fat cell destruction: Deoxycholic acid disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cell to die
Natural elimination: Your body’s immune system naturally clears the destroyed fat cells over 4–6 weeks
Permanent results: Once destroyed, fat cells cannot regenerate or store fat again
