Kybella Video
This video demonstrates a Kybella treatment at Loukas Dentistry of Park Ridge. Kybella is an FDA approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, reducing the appearance of a double chin without surgery, liposuction, or downtime.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is an FDA approved injectable that targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin (submental fat). Once destroyed, those fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, providing permanent results.
How Kybella Works
Dr. Loukas injects Kybella into the fat beneath the chin using a series of small injections. The deoxycholic acid breaks down the fat cell membranes, and the body naturally eliminates the destroyed cells over the following weeks. Most patients need two to four treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
What to Expect
- Treatment takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes
- Swelling is common for three to five days after treatment
- Results become visible after two to four sessions
- Results are permanent once the fat cells are destroyed
- No surgery, no general anesthesia, no scarring
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Kybella sessions do I need?
Most patients need two to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Dr. Loukas evaluates your anatomy and goals to determine the optimal number of treatments.
Is Kybella permanent?
Yes. Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they cannot regenerate. However, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge.
Does Kybella hurt?
Patients feel a series of small injections and a mild burning sensation that subsides quickly. Ice and numbing are used to maximize comfort.
What is the downtime for Kybella?
Swelling under the chin is expected for three to five days. Most patients return to work the next day. Bruising and numbness are possible but temporary.
