Kybella

Heading
Kybella works by using deoxycholic acid, a fat-dissolving substance that already exists in the body, to reduce unwanted fat in targeted areas. When strategically injected, it disrupts fat cells so they can be naturally broken down and cleared over time. Once removed, those fat cells do not return, making this a lasting, non-surgical option for improving fullness beneath the chin and refining the jawline.
Treatment Process
Treatment involves a series of small, carefully placed injections into the fat under the chin or other approved areas. Over the weeks following treatment, the body gradually processes and eliminates the affected fat cells. Depending on individual goals and the amount of fullness present, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

Treatment Areas
Kybella has FDA approval for reducing fat under the chin and may also be used in select cases to target small, stubborn fat deposits in other areas when deemed appropriate.
Your chin and your jawline
Kybella helps improve jawline definition by breaking down excess fat beneath the chin, creating a more sculpted and refined lower-face appearance.
Your Neck
This treatment focuses on localized fat beneath the chin and along the upper neck, helping diminish the appearance of a double chin while creating a slimmer, more contoured profile.
Dolce Vida's Personalized Touch
Kybella treatments are tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals to ensure balanced, precise fat reduction. Each session is thoughtfully mapped to target unwanted fat while protecting surrounding tissue. Since the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated, results can be long-lasting once your recommended series is completed.
Benefits may include:
- Gradual improvement that continues with each session
- Enhanced contour along the chin and jawline
- A personalized, non-surgical alternative to liposuction
- Permanent reduction of fat in treated areas
- Customized planning based on your anatomy
Your Comfort
Before treatment, a topical numbing agent or local anesthetic is applied to help minimize discomfort. Some patients notice brief sensations of warmth or stinging during injections, which typically fade quickly. Swelling is expected as the body begins processing the treated fat cells.
Recovery & Aftercare
Temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur and can last from several days up to two weeks. Most patients resume daily activities within 24 hours, though visible swelling may remain as fat is gradually metabolized. Results continue to develop over the following weeks, with progressive improvement after each session.
