Reduce Submental Fullness and Define Your Jawline with Kybella® in New Jersey
Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce moderate to severe fat beneath the chin—commonly referred to as a double chin. Made with synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat, Kybella® permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our skilled providers offer safe and effective Kybella® treatments to help patients achieve a slimmer, more defined profile without surgery or downtime.
Submental fullness can affect men and women of all ages and body types. While weight gain is a common factor, genetics and natural aging also contribute to fat buildup under the chin. Unfortunately, no amount of diet or exercise can specifically target this stubborn pocket of fat. Kybella® offers a nonsurgical solution to address:
Double chin fat that does not respond to lifestyle changes
Loss of jawline definition due to fat accumulation
Facial imbalance caused by excess fullness under the chin
By eliminating fat cells in the area, Kybella® helps create a more youthful, sculpted profile that enhances overall facial harmony.
Patients often consider Kybella® when they notice:
A persistent double chin, despite a healthy lifestyle
Jawline and chin definition that has diminished with age
Dissatisfaction with side-profile appearance
A desire for a nonsurgical, minimally invasive fat-reduction option
If submental fullness is affecting your appearance or self-confidence, Kybella® may be the lasting solution you’ve been searching for.
At our New Jersey practice, Kybella® treatments are customized to meet your specific needs and aesthetic goals. Benefits include:
Non-surgical fat reduction: No incisions, anesthesia, or liposuction required
Quick sessions: Treatments typically take 15–30 minutes
Minimal downtime: Most patients return to daily activities shortly after
Gradual, natural-looking results: Improvements appear over several weeks as the body metabolizes destroyed fat cells
Permanent results: Once fat cells are eliminated, they cannot return
Our experienced providers carefully evaluate your profile to design a personalized treatment plan, ensuring precise and natural outcomes.
Learn More About Kybella®
KYBELLA® relies on a substance that your body naturally produces in the digestive system to help break down fats. When injected directly beneath your skin, this deoxycholic acid disrupts the membranes of targeted fat cells, causing them to rupture. From there, immune cells called macrophages clear out the damaged cells. The process of clearing them out can take several weeks, which means the results will be gradual.
After the fat cells have been broken down, those cells are no longer capable of storing fat—meaning the results are lasting and no further treatment will be necessary. The fact that KYBELLA® is a nonsurgical treatment makes it an excellent choice for patients who want to address submental fullness but aren’t necessarily good candidates for a surgical procedure like liposuction or a neck lift.
Every KYBELLA® treatment plan is unique, just as every patient is unique. Your appointment will take between 10 and 30 minutes and involve several injections beneath your chin. Most patients require multiple KYBELLA® sessions spaced at least one month apart in order to achieve their ideal aesthetic goals. While some patients are satisfied after two sessions, others require up to six treatments.
While the deoxycholic acid gets to work right away, it takes time for the lymphatic system to fully remove these fat cells and for the swelling caused by the injections to go down. This means that it can take several weeks after your treatment at Skin & Laser Center of NJ for a noticeable improvement to your profile. It’s common to experience soreness, swelling, and bruising for a few days after your KYBELLA® injections, but this should decrease over time. There are several steps patients can take to improve their healing and outcome, including abstaining from sodium, alcohol, strenuous exercise, and extreme heat right after your treatment.
Patients interested in exploring all their options can also ask us about CoolSculpting®, which uses extremely cold temperatures to freeze the fat that makes up a double chin. Other cosmetic treatments to improve the look of the neck area include microneedling for addressing laxity.
KYBELLA® injections are also available for stubborn pockets of fat on other body parts. Most common include the pockets in front of the armpit, love handles, abdomen, and small bulges on the thighs. Schedule a consultation with one of our professionals to see if you are a candidate.
