How Long Does It Take to See Results from KYBELLA® Injections?

When it comes to enhancing your facial profile, KYBELLA® is a popular non-surgical treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. As a trusted cosmetic injectable at Towne Lake Family Dentistry, many of our patients want to know: how long will it take to see results from KYBELLA®?

What Is KYBELLA®?

KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin. The active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat - making the results long-lasting with a proper diet and lifestyle.

How Soon Will I See Results?

While KYBELLA® delivers noticeable results, it is not an instant fix. After your first session, you may begin to see subtle improvements in a few weeks. However, most patients need 2 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Some may require up to 6 sessions depending on the amount of submental fat and desired outcome.

Typically, the full effects of KYBELLA® become visible within 2 to 3 months after your final treatment. This timeline allows your body to naturally metabolize and remove the destroyed fat cells.

What to Expect After Treatment

After each KYBELLA® session, you might experience swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treatment area. This is completely normal and usually subsides within a few days to a week. The swelling is actually a sign that the treatment is working as it breaks down fat cells.

Why Patience Pays Off

Unlike more invasive fat removal procedures, KYBELLA® offers a gradual, natural-looking improvement without downtime. While it may require multiple treatments and a bit of patience, the long-lasting results are worth the wait - especially when performed by a skilled professional trained in facial aesthetics.
