Kybella
Wanting to get rid of the double chin and have chiseled jaws? The Kybella injectable is the perfect treatment!
Kybella is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that aids in fat absorption.
This treatment has low downtime and permanently removes fat cells by targeting the membranes of fat-storing cells. After they have been eliminated, the cells are no longer able to store fat.
With just four to six weeks, when the body’s natural healing and elimination mechanisms take charge, your fat deposits are drastically reduced or eradicated.
It is an FDA-approved injection that removes fat cells to improve the appearance of double chins. FDA studies have shown that individuals who gained weight after using Kybella injectables did not regain their fatty areas.
Most individuals can safely receive Kybella injections. However, talk to your physician or a Kybella specialist to see whether you are a suitable candidate. Kybella is only available to people over the age of 18.
For the most effective results, all post-treatments must be followed.

What is KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that aids in fat absorption. It is a fat-reduction treatment that is used to permanently reduce tiny areas of fat throughout the body, such as a double chin, bra bulges, inner thigh fat, and belly fat.
How does Kybella work?
According to the KYBELLA® website, the active component in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid.
Deoxycholic acid is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body and assists in the digestion and absorption of dietary fat.
The KYBELLA® treatment kills fat cells when injected beneath the chin, resulting in a visible decrease in fullness under the chin. Thus, these cells can no longer store or retain fat after they have been eliminated, additional treatment is unlikely if you have achieved your desired aesthetic target.
When can I see the results?
Within 60-90 days, significant results are visible.
How long does results last?
The KYBELLA® website advises that after obtaining your preferred look, no more or further treatments are required.
How many sessions should I get?
The number of treatments required varies per patient. Based on the volume and placement of your submental fat, as well as your unique treatment objectives, our Aspen Prime MedSpa professionals will help you calculate how many therapy sessions you require.
Each KYBELLA® treatment session should be at least one month apart, and no more than six treatments should be administered.
How long is the recovery period?
This therapy has a short recovery period and permanently eliminates fat cells by targeting the membranes of fat-storing cells. The cells can no longer accumulate fat after they have been removed.
What is common during my recovery?
It is usual to have bruising and swelling. Allow yourself at least two weeks before any activities or trips.
