Kybella® in East Rutherford, NJ
Kybella® in East Rutherford, NJ, targets fat beneath the chin using a series of injections that break down fat cells without affecting the muscle or skin above them. At Aspen Prime Med Spa, providers use this treatment for clients who want a double-chin treatment despite being close to their goal weight, since submental fat often resists diet and exercise. The treatment uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, which works similarly to the naturally occurring substance that helps the body process dietary fat. Injected beneath the chin, it targets localized fat and produces gradual results over a series of sessions.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to destroy fat cells in the treatment area. Once administered, the compound acts on targeted fat cells, and the body gradually processes and eliminates them over the following weeks. Because destroyed fat cells cannot store fat again, results are considered permanent once the treatment series is complete. Most clients need two to four sessions spaced about a month apart to reach their goal, depending on the amount of fullness beneath the chin. At Aspen Prime Med Spa, your provider maps injection points during a brief consultation.
What Are The Benefits?
Targeting submental fat directly addresses a concern that often does not respond to weight loss elsewhere in the body. Here is what clients can expect from Kybella® injections in East Rutherford, NJ:
- No incisions, liposuction, or general anesthesia required
- Fat cells destroyed by treatment cannot return once eliminated
- Sessions typically take 15 to 20 minutes
- A more defined jawline and chin profile over the treatment series
- Minimal downtime between sessions
- Results that continue improving for several weeks after each visit

How many Kybella® sessions will I need?
Most clients undergo two to four treatment sessions, generally spaced around four weeks apart, depending on their individual needs and the amount of fullness beneath the chin. Your provider will reassess progress at each visit.
Is Kybella® permanent?
Yes, once fat cells are destroyed by treatment, they cannot store fat again or return. Significant future weight gain could still affect the area, though to a lesser extent than before treatment.
Does Kybella® hurt?
Most clients feel a stinging or burning sensation during Kybella® injections, which typically fades within a few minutes. Numbing cream is often applied beforehand to improve comfort.
How much downtime is there?
Swelling is common for several days, with most clients returning to normal activities right away. Some prefer to schedule sessions before a few quiet days at home.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella®?
Good candidates have moderate submental fullness that has not responded to diet and exercise. A consultation will help determine whether Kybella® or another treatment is right for your chin profile.
When will I see results?
Some clients notice improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results typically developing after the full treatment series. Most clients see their final outcome within a few months.
