Kybella
A double chin is a common cosmetic concern that affects both men and women. It can be caused by various factors such as genetics, weight gain, or aging. Until recently, the only options to get rid of a double chin were surgical procedures such as liposuction or a neck lift. However, now there is a non-surgical treatment called Kybella that can effectively reduce submental fat or the look of a double chin.
At MyImage Skin and Body, we are proud to offer Kybella injections in Pasadena, Los Angeles, a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment that can help you achieve a contoured and youthful look.

What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fat or a double chin. It is made of deoxycholic acid, a natural substance found in our body that helps in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected into the fat under the chin, Kybella destroys the fat cells permanently, resulting in a more defined and contoured jawline.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Consultation
During the initial consultation, the practitioner will examine your chin area and discuss your medical history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the treatment.
Preparation
Before the procedure, the practitioner will clean the treatment area and mark the injection sites.
Injections
The practitioner will use a fine needle to administer the Kybella injections into the fat under your chin. Depending on the amount of fat you have, you may need multiple injections per session.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and redness, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. The practitioner will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure a speedy recovery.
Benefits of Kybella
Non-surgical: Kybella is a non-surgical treatment, which means there is no incision, anesthesia, or downtime required.
Permanent results: Kybella permanently destroys the fat cells under the chin, which means the results are long-lasting and do not require repeated treatments.
Minimal side effects: The treatment has minimal side effects, and most patients experience only mild to moderate swelling, bruising, or numbness, which resolves on its own within a few days.
Improved self-esteem: Having a defined and contoured jawline can boost your self-esteem and confidence.

Ideal Candidates for Kybella
The Kybella Treatment Process
The Kybella treatment process involves multiple sessions spaced six weeks apart. During each session, our injector will use a fine needle to inject the medicine into the desired area. The number of injections you receive will depend on the amount of fat in the area and your desired results. After each session, you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treatment area, but these side effects typically resolve on their own within a few days to a week.
Alternative Treatments for Double Chin
If Kybella isn’t the right treatment for you, there are other options to reduce the appearance of a double chin. These include liposuction, neck lift surgery, and CoolSculpting. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your goals and recommend the best treatment options for you.
Post-Treatment Care
After your Kybella treatment, it’s important to follow our post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best possible results. This may include avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours after the procedure, applying ice to the treatment area to reduce swelling, and wearing a compression garment to support the area.
