Kybella® Double Chin Treatment in Charlottesville, VA
Non-Surgical Fat-Dissolving Injections for a More Defined Chin Profile
If you’re struggling with stubborn fullness under your chin, even with a healthy diet and exercise routine, you’re not alone. Many adults experience submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. At Health and Wellness Spa, we offer Kybella® injections that Charlottesville, VA, patients trust for a safe, non-surgical approach to reducing a double chin.
It is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed specifically to target and address the appearance of fat beneath the chin. These fat-dissolving injections help contour the jawline and enhance your profile, creating a slimmer, more defined appearance.
How Fat-Dissolving Injections Work to Address Fat
It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally occurring in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When strategically injected beneath the chin, it is designed to disrupt the membranes of fat cells in the targeted area.
Once the targeted cells are affected, the body naturally processes and clears them over time through its metabolic pathways. The result is a gradual, natural-looking reduction in fat and an improved chin contour. Unlike surgical liposuction, Kybella®-based double chin treatment requires no incisions.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment:
Patients choose this because it offers:
- Minimally invasive treatment
- No surgery or general anesthesia
- Quick in-office sessions
- Designed for gradual, natural-looking contouring
- Long-lasting results once aesthetic goals are reached
- A non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction
Because the targeted fat cells are cleared from the area, results are intended to be long-lasting as long as a stable weight is maintained.
What to Expect from Treatment
Consultation
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation at our wellness clinic. We evaluate the degree of submental fullness, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether these is appropriate option for you.
Procedure
Treatment typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. A series of small injections is placed beneath the chin in a carefully mapped treatment area. Most patients describe a temporary sensation of stinging or warmth during the process.
Recovery
Swelling is common and expected after fat-dissolving injections. This is a normal part of the body’s response as the product works. Swelling may last several days to a few weeks, depending on the individual. Mild bruising, redness, or tenderness can also occur.
Most patients resume daily activities shortly after treatment, though we recommend planning social events around the expected swelling period. Individual results and recovery times may vary.
How Many Fat-Dissolving Injections Treatments Are Needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on the amount of fat under the chin and your specific goals. Many patients require 2 to 4 treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart. During your consultation for double chin treatment, we will create a personalized plan customized to your needs.
