Kybella in Aiken, SC
Say goodbye to the double chin — Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that dissolves fat beneath the chin, no surgery required.
Sculpt Without Surgery
What is Kybella?
Submental fullness — better known as the double chin — is something almost no one asks for and many of us inherit anyway. If you've grown tired of turtlenecks, scarves, and carefully angled photos, Kybella offers a refined solution: about 45 minutes per visit, a short series of treatments, and results you'll love living in.
Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid, a synthetic form of a molecule your own liver produces to break down fat. Injected into the chin and neck area, it breaks down fat cells where it's placed. Unlike liposuction, there's no surgery involved — though you should plan for noticeable swelling in the days (and sometimes weeks) after each session as the treatment works.
- The only FDA-approved fat-dissolving injectable
- Tightens & refines the chin and neck profile
- Also used for hips, thighs, arms & love handles

Quick In-Office Visits
Each session takes about 45 minutes — but plan ahead for post-treatment swelling, which can last several days or more.

Good To Know
Kybella FAQs
Plan for real downtime with Kybella. Swelling is expected — often significant for the first several days, and it can take a week or two (occasionally longer) to fully settle. Tenderness, numbness, and needle marks fade sooner. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect and how to plan around it.
The most common side effects are mild pain, swelling, and bruising in the treated area, especially after the first sessions. Severe reactions are rare; your provider will review your full medical history before treatment to keep you safe.
Results vary, but most patients report noticeable improvement after just two treatments — about two months into their plan. Each session builds on the last as fat cells are progressively cleared.
If you're pregnant, nursing, managing an active infection, or taking blood-thinning medications, Kybella may need to wait. Always share your medical history and current medications with your provider — we'll confirm whether it's right for you.
