Kybella® in New York, NY
Kybella®
Kybella® is a revolutionary, non-surgical injectable designed to permanently reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. A naturally occurring substance in the body, deoxycholic acid, is used to break down and absorb dietary fat. Kybella® works by destroying fat cells beneath the chin, and the body naturally eliminates them over time. As the fat disappears, the jawline becomes more sculpted and defined—offering a slimmer, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery.
Kybella® is a safe and FDA-approved treatment that’s been widely recognized for its long-term results. Since the fat cells are destroyed and cannot regenerate, the results are considered permanent when a stable weight is maintained. Usually, the procedure takes less than 30 minutes and is minimally invasive and performed in the office. Typically, patients need two to four treatments spaced about a month apart, though some may need up to six for optimal contouring.
Kybella® in New York, NY, is an excellent solution for individuals who are bothered by fullness under the chin but are not ready for surgery. Even those who eat well and exercise regularly may still struggle with stubborn fat in this area due to genetics, aging, or other factors. Kybella® is a non-invasive alternative to liposuction, making it an appealing option for those who want noticeable improvement without significant downtime or recovery.
At Refined Glow in New York, NY, our expert team will create a customized procedure based on your aesthetic goals and the amount of fat to be reduced. While each patient’s experience is unique, noticeable improvement can often be seen just a few weeks after the first treatment, with full results appearing over several months as the body gradually metabolizes the destroyed fat cells.
The treatment is well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and manageable side effects such as swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising at the injection site. These effects typically subside within a few days. As the area heals, the jawline becomes more contoured, enhancing the overall balance and appearance of the face. For patients seeking subtle, natural-looking improvement with lasting results, Kybella® is a smart, modern approach to facial rejuvenation.

Who is a good candidate for Kybella®?
The Kybella® procedure is suitable for healthy individuals with moderate to severe under-chin fat who are seeking a non-surgical solution. It’s especially suitable for individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle but still struggle with fullness in the chin area.
When will I see the results from Kybella®?
Results from Kybella® develop gradually as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Most patients begin to notice improvement 4 to 6 weeks after their first treatment, with continued progress after each session.
How long do Kybella® results last?
With Kybella®, fat cells are permanently destroyed and cannot regenerate. As long as you maintain a stable weight, the slimming effects can last indefinitely, making this a long-term solution for submental fullness.
Is there any downtime or side effects with Kybella®?
The side effects associated with Kybella® are minimal, but some patients may experience swelling, bruising, or tenderness under the chin. These effects usually resolve within a few days, and most patients are able to resume their normal activities soon after treatment.
What should I do before and after my Kybella® treatment?
Before your Kybella® session, avoid blood thinners and alcohol to reduce the risk of bruising. After the procedure, apply cold compresses as needed and follow your doctor’s instructions for healing and comfort.
What can I expect during my Kybella® treatment?
During your Kybella® appointment, your provider will examine your chin and mark the injection sites. A series of small injections will be made in a grid-like pattern. The process takes around 20-30 minutes, and while you may feel mild stinging or pressure, most patients tolerate it well.
