Kybella in Santa Fe, NM
Are you tired of looking in the mirror and noticing an unwanted double chin, or heavy jawline, or maybe you have a bra roll?
The presence of submental fat under the chin or other areas of small fat deposits creates an out-of-shape appearance, even in those who are generally in good physical condition. This creates body issues and problems with self-confidence. To recontour the small fat pockets, many of our guests are having Kybella® injections.
Kybella® (deoxycholic acid) injection is the first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness due to subcutaneous fat under the chin. Kybella® is indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe fullness associated with subcutaneous fat in adults for under the chin area.
Ageless Aesthetics offers Kybella® treatments for many areas where small pockets of subcutaneous fat collect.
FDA-approved injectable for dissolving unwanted fat
Chin, jawline, bra roll, and other small fat pockets.
2–4 treatments for optimal results.
Visible in 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement.
Permanently destroys fat cells in treated areas.
Kybella® is a cosmetic injectable made with a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid. This naturally occurring substance in the body helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas, it disrupts fat cell membranes, allowing the body to gradually flush them away. Unlike liposuction or fat grafting, Kybella® requires no downtime and leaves no scars, making it ideal for small, defined areas like under the chin or near the bra line.
Each treatment is tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals, with most guests completing a series of 2 to 4 sessions for optimal results. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not return, making Kybella® a lasting solution for refined contours.
Kybella® is the ultimate double chin treatment. The primary area we target is directly under the chin and slightly under the jawline, where fat tends to accumulate. However, a double chin can also be caused by loose skin and, if this is the case where you just have loose skin and not a fat pad, then we commonly refer our guests to receive PDO Thread Lifts or PDO Collagen Treads that build a matrix to support the area under the chin.
Kybella® can help sculpt the jawline beautifully. We don't inject it into the jaw, but we treat the area immediately below it, where fat often accumulates. This results in a more defined jawline. Many guests want that defined jawline, and after completing their Kybella® treatments, we commonly inject jawline filler to give that lift and definition.
Kybella® reduces the bra bulge that can be extremely bothersome to women. It is the "bra fat" pocket right at the armpit and breast line. With a full treatment of Kybella® in this area, the product dissolves that small pocket of fat in a minimum of 4-6 weeks. Say goodbye to that unwanted bra bulge!
Kybella® injections have the same fat-melting results in treatment areas around the body, as well. Stubborn fat deposits can happen anywhere. Some patients benefit from Kybella® to address fat cells in locations like the elbows, upper arms, knees, hips, and stomach.
Your Kybella® treatment begins with a detailed consultation and assessment to determine the optimal injection sites. We apply a topical anesthetic to enhance comfort before administering a series of small injections into the fat layer. The procedure takes approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
You may experience mild swelling, firmness, or tenderness in the treated area for several days. These are normal signs that your body is processing the dissolved fat. Most guests return to daily activities shortly after treatment, with results gradually developing over the following weeks.
Kybella is best suited for small, localized areas of subcutaneous fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. It helps treat:
Kybella provides a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for those who want targeted fat reduction without downtime. Benefits include:
If you’re in good health and bothered by small pockets of fat, especially under the chin or around the bra line, Kybella® may be perfect for you. Kybella works best for those with good skin tone and elasticity in the treatment area, as removing fat can increase the appearance of sagging skin in some patients. If skin laxity is present, we may recommend PDO threads or other skin-tightening alternatives.
With a wide range of advanced treatment options, we will always guide you toward the best approach for your needs. Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and learn if Kybella is the right fit for your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
After a Kybella treatment, you may experience swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising in the treated area for several days. These side effects typically peak within 24–48 hours and improve steadily. We recommend avoiding alcohol, heavy exercise, and heat exposure right after treatment. Using a cold compress and sleeping with your head slightly elevated can help minimize discomfort. You’ll be given a full set of aftercare instructions, and our team is always available if you have questions between visits.
The results of Kybella injections develop gradually as your body metabolizes the broken-down fat cells. Patience is key—rest assured that you will begin seeing visible improvements after the second session, with optimal results developing over a series of 2–4 treatments. You’ll start to notice the area looking smoother and better defined. That soft fullness beneath your chin will begin to recede, and your jawline may appear sharper, more structured, and less weighed down. If we’ve treated your bra roll or other body areas, expect a more streamlined silhouette.
Because Kybella permanently removes fat cells, the results are long-lasting as long as your weight remains stable. Once the treatment series is complete, many people tell us they feel more confident in photos, more comfortable in fitted clothing, and more aligned with how they want to look. You can expect a more refreshed, sculpted appearance that still feels unmistakably you.
At Ageless Aesthetics, every Kybella® session is tailored with precision and performed by experienced aesthetic specialists who understand both anatomy and artistry. Whether you’re sculpting your jawline, addressing a double chin, or refining small areas of the body, we approach your care with professionalism, warmth, and personalized attention. Our commitment is simple: natural-looking results, refined techniques, and an experience centered entirely around you.
Most people require 2 to 4 sessions, which are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow the results to develop between visits. The number of treatments can vary depending on your body’s individual response to treatment and your desired level of contouring.
Kybella targets fat, not skin laxity. If loose skin is the primary concern, treatments like PDO threads or collagen-stimulating procedures may be a better fit. We will carefully assess your skin in potential treatment areas to determine the best approach.
Most guests report only mild discomfort. We use a topical anesthetic to minimize any sensation during the procedure, and any post-treatment tenderness is usually manageable with over-the-counter remedies.
Yes—once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve your results.
Absolutely. Many people pair Kybella with jawline filler, PDO thread lifts, or skin-tightening treatments like Ultherapy for a more sculpted, youthful look.
