What is Kybella®?
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness—commonly known as a double chin. This advanced injectable uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When strategically injected beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys unwanted fat cells, which are gradually metabolized and permanently removed by the body over weeks to months.
At Cosmedica Dermatology in Washington, D.C., KYBELLA® offers a refined solution for patients seeking a more sculpted jawline without the downtime of surgery. Ideal for individuals with persistent submental fat due to genetics, aging, or weight changes, KYBELLA® can contour the chin and neck with precision and long-lasting results. Once fat cells are eliminated from the body, they do not regenerate—making this a durable, targeted treatment for neck and jawline refinement.
What to Expect with KYBELLA® Treatment?
KYBELLA® at Cosmedica Dermatology is performed by Dr. Sara Hogan, a board-certified dermatologist with advanced expertise in body contouring and injectable treatments.
At the start of each session, the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to maximize comfort. Dr. Hogan then administers a series of precise KYBELLA® injections to the fat beneath the chin. The procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Most patients require a series of sessions spaced at least one month apart, depending on the degree of submental fullness, desired jawline definition or fat in treatment area. All treatment plans are fully customized, including the number of injections and sessions needed.
Mild to moderate swelling is expected after treatment and often peaks within the first few days—gradually subsiding over one to two weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions and recovery guidance are provided to ensure optimal comfort and outcomes.
KYBELLA® offers long-lasting results for patients seeking a more sculpted chin and jawline. Schedule your consultation at Cosmedica Dermatology in Washington, D.C., to find out if KYBELLA® is the right solution for you.
