Kybella: FDA-Approved Fat-Dissolving Injectable

Kybella Jawline Sculpting at Skin Theory

Permanent Profile Refinement

Eliminate stubborn submental fullness—commonly known as a double chin—without the need for surgery. We offer Kybella, the only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to dissolve fat cells under the chin.

Your treatment is meticulously mapped to your unique anatomy. Our goal is to reveal a sharp, contoured jawline that enhances your natural profile and brings balance to your entire face.

The Science of Kybella

What is it? Kybella is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat.

How it works at Skin Theory:

• Targeted Destruction: When injected, it selectively breaks down the membranes of fat cells in the submental area.
• Metabolic Clearance: Once the cells are dissolved, your body’s natural lymphatic system clears them away permanently.
• Long-Lasting Results: Because those specific fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, ensuring your new profile lasts.
• Non-Surgical Precision: Achieve the results with no incisions or scarring.

Your Comprehensive Care Guide

Phase 1: Pre-Treatment

• The 7-Day Rule: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin), and supplements like Fish Oil or Vitamin E to minimize bruising.
• Health Status: Ensure you do not have an active infection, swelling, or recent dental work in the treatment area.
• Plan Ahead: Because swelling is a sign the product is working, schedule your treatment when you have a few days of "social downtime."

Phase 2: During Treatment

• Duration: 20–30 minutes per session.
• What to expect: You may feel a warm or tingling sensation during the injection process, which is normal and temporary.

Phase 3: Post-Treatment & Recovery

• The "Kybella Swell": Moderate swelling is expected for the first 3–5 days; this indicates the fat-dissolving process is active.
• Management: You may apply ice packs intermittently (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off) for the first 24 hours.
• Follow-up: Most clients achieve their "Skin Theory Result" in 2–4 sessions, spaced roughly 6 weeks apart.
