Define Your Profile: The Power of Kybella®

Permanently eliminate your double chin and redefine your jawline with the first and only FDA-approved injectable fat dissolver.

The Science of a Sculpted Jawline: Targeted Fat Reduction

Columbia’s Medical Experts in Non-Surgical Profile Contouring

Achieve the sleek, defined jawline you’ve always wanted with Kybella® at Balance. As the leading provider of advanced injectable treatments in Columbia, SC, our expert medical team specializes in using Kybella® to permanently eliminate submental fullness, commonly known as the “double chin.” This revolutionary, non-surgical treatment offers a powerful solution for a concern that is often resistant to diet and exercise. At our Shandon, Irmo, and Metabolic Health locations, we use precise, strategic injections to destroy fat cells and reveal a sharper, more youthful profile.

Kybella®’s active ingredient is a synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella® causes the rapid destruction and permanent elimination of fat cells. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, making it a truly long-lasting solution for improving your profile.

At Balance, we understand that a defined jawline is a cornerstone of a balanced and attractive facial structure. Our approach is tailored and meticulous, ensuring that your treatment is customized to your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. We are dedicated to helping you achieve a result that not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence, allowing your inner vitality to be reflected in a beautifully sculpted profile.

The 4 Core Benefits of Kybella® Treatment

A Revolutionary Approach to a More Defined Profile

Kybella® offers four distinct advantages that have made it the gold standard for non-surgically treating submental fullness.

03_benefit_permanent_fat_destruction

Permanently Destroys Fat Cells

This is the key benefit of Kybella®. Unlike weight loss, which only shrinks fat cells, Kybella® physically destroys them. Once the fat cells in the treatment area are gone, they are gone for good. This provides a permanent and reliable solution for reducing your double chin.

04_benefit_nonsurgical_solution

A Truly Non-Surgical Solution

Before Kybella®, the only effective way to address a double chin was through surgical procedures like liposuction. Kybella® offers a powerful, non-surgical alternative that can be performed in-office with a series of simple injections, avoiding the risks, cost, and downtime associated with surgery.

Improves Jawline Definition and Contour

By reducing the fat that obscures the jawline, Kybella® creates a sharper, more defined transition between your chin and neck. This improved contour enhances the overall balance of your facial features and can create a more youthful and slimmer appearance.

06_benefit_minimal_downtime

Minimal Downtime and Quick In-Office Procedure

Each Kybella® treatment session is surprisingly fast, typically taking only 20-30 minutes. While some social downtime due to swelling is expected, there is no significant recovery period required. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after your appointment.

Your Kybella® Questions, Answered

Everything You Need to Know About This Fat-Melting Injectable

How does Kybella® actually work?

Kybella® uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to break down the cell membrane of fat cells. Once the cell wall is disrupted, the fat is released and naturally processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. The destroyed cells are gone permanently.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required varies for each individual. Most patients achieve their desired results with a series of 2 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced at least one month apart. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan for you during your consultation.

What is the downtime like? Is there swelling?

Swelling is the most common side effect and is actually a sign that the treatment is working. Significant swelling, tenderness, and numbness in the treatment area are expected and can last for one to two weeks. Most patients prefer to schedule their treatments when they can have a few days of social downtime.

Are the results really permanent?

Yes. Because Kybella® destroys the fat cells, the results are permanent. As long as you maintain a stable weight, the fat will not return in the treated area. It’s a lasting solution for a more defined profile.

Step 2: The Strategic Injection Process

Your provider will mark a precise injection grid on the treatment area to ensure the Kybella® is delivered evenly and effectively. The area will be numbed, and then a series of small injections will be administered. The process is quick, usually completed in under 30 minutes.

Step 3: Managing the Post-Treatment Phase

Immediately after the injections, you will experience swelling, which is a normal and expected part of the process. We will provide you with ice packs and detailed aftercare instructions to help manage the swelling and ensure a comfortable recovery. This social downtime is temporary but important to plan for.
