If you’ve been struggling with stubborn submental fullness—commonly known as a double chin—that won’t respond to diet or exercise, Eterna Vein & Medical Aesthetics offers a non-surgical solution. Serving patients throughout Puyallup and the Greater Seattle area, our expert team utilizes Kybella®, the only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to permanently reduce under-chin fat.
Led by Mark Kim, MD, RVT, RPVI, and our skilled aesthetic nurse practitioners with over 30 years of combined experience, we provide personalized Kybella treatments in our state-of-the-art facility.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat cells. Once Kybella is injected into the targeted area, it permanently destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing fat in the future.
Key treatment details include:
- Treatment Time: 15-30 minutes
- Downtime: Minimal (swelling for a few days)
- Results: Visible in 4-6 weeks, optimal after 2-4 sessions
Benefits of Kybella
Kybella offers numerous advantages for patients seeking jawline refinement:
- Non-surgical & minimally invasive
- Permanently eliminates fat cells in the treated area
- Enhances jawline definition for a youthful, sculpted look
- No anesthesia or lengthy recovery time required
- Quick in-office treatment with long-lasting results
What Areas Can Kybella Treat?
Kybella is most commonly used to address the following areas:
- Double Chin (Submental Fat): The most common treatment area, reducing fullness under the chin for a sleek profile.
- Jawline Contouring: Enhances definition and reduces sagging for a more youthful look.
- Jowls: Targets excess fat along the lower face to create a smoother jawline.
- Small Fat Deposits on the Body: While off-label, some patients use Kybella for areas like bra fat or knee fat.
What to Expect During a Kybella Treatment
Your Kybella treatment journey includes the following steps:
- Consultation: Our expert provider will assess your concerns and customize a treatment plan.
- Treatment: Small injections of Kybella are strategically placed into the fat beneath the chin.
- Post-Treatment: Expect mild swelling for a few days as Kybella works to break down fat cells.
- Results: Over the next 4-6 weeks, your body will naturally flush out the destroyed fat cells.
