A double chin is one of the most common concerns people mention about their appearance. Even with healthy eating and regular exercise, the fullness under the chin often remains. Genetics, age, and natural fat distribution can all play a role. If this area makes you feel self-conscious, non-surgical Kybella® may be the solution.
At ALFA Med Spa in Columbus, Ohio, Leyla Aliyeva, FNP-S, and her team use Kybella® injections to target and permanently reduce unwanted fat beneath the chin. With just a few quick sessions, you can enjoy a slimmer, more defined profile without surgery or downtime.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat—the fat that causes a double chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a molecule naturally found in the body that breaks down dietary fat. When injected into the treatment area, it destroys fat cells permanently. Once those fat cells are gone, they cannot come back.
Benefits of Kybella
- Permanently reduces submental fat
- Improves jawline contour and definition
- Little to no downtime—most clients return to daily life immediately
- Quick sessions that fit into a lunch break
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Long-lasting results when a healthy lifestyle is maintained
Who Is a Candidate?
Kybella works best for adults with moderate fullness under the chin. It is not a weight-loss treatment but is highly effective for localized fat in the submental area. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Feel bothered by your double chin
- Notice fullness that does not change with diet or exercise
- Want a non-surgical solution with natural-looking results
- Prefer little downtime and a gradual improvement
During your consultation, Leyla Aliyeva, FNP-S, will assess your goals and determine if Kybella is right for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each Kybella session takes about 20–30 minutes. A series of small injections are made into the area under the chin. You may feel mild warmth or tingling during treatment.
Afterward, temporary swelling or tenderness is common as the body begins breaking down fat cells. This can last a few days to a week but is part of the natural process. Most clients see significant results with 2–4 sessions spaced a month apart, though some may need up to 6 treatments for optimal contouring.
Recovery and Results
Because Kybella works gradually, improvements become noticeable within several weeks as the fat clears from the body. Results continue to improve with each session. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good. With stable weight and healthy habits, your results can be permanent.
