Kybella
Kybella® in Louisiana
A defined jawline can make a noticeable difference in your overall appearance. Kybella® —the first and only FDA-approved injectable for submental fullness—offers a safe, nonsurgical solution for reducing unwanted fat under the chin. At LA Dermatology Associates, we provide Kybella® treatments in Louisiana to help patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured profile without surgery or extensive downtime.
How Kybella® Works
Kybella® uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it selectively destroys fat cells. Once these cells are removed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat—making Kybella® a long-lasting solution for double chin reduction and non-surgical jawline contouring.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your Kybella® treatment in Louisiana will be performed in-office by our experienced cosmetic dermatology team. The procedure involves a series of injections placed strategically beneath the chin. Most appointments are completed in 15–30 minutes, depending on your level of submental fullness and your customized treatment plan.
A mild warming or burning sensation during injections is common, followed by temporary numbness in the treated area.
Downtime & Recovery
Kybella® is a popular non-surgical double chin treatment because downtime is minimal. After your visit, you may notice swelling, bruising, firmness, or numbness beneath the chin—normal effects that typically resolve within one to two weeks. Most patients resume regular activities shortly after treatment.
Our providers will walk you through all post-treatment instructions to ensure the smoothest recovery.
When You’ll See Results
Most patients begin noticing visible improvement within 4–6 weeks, with gradual enhancement over several months as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Once you reach your desired outcome, no further treatment is usually needed since the eliminated cells do not return.
Kybella® is ideal for patients seeking long-term fat reduction in the chin area without liposuction or invasive procedures.
Cost of Kybella®
The cost of Kybella® in Louisiana depends on the number of injections and sessions required. During your consultation at LA Dermatology Associates, your provider will assess your goals and design a personalized plan, including a detailed cost estimate.
