Kybella
Fat Dissolving Treatment
Say goodbye to the double chin.
LUMAesthetics offers Kybella, a clinically proven injectable treatment for small, stubborn areas of fat.
Typically used to address “double chins”, Kybella is injected into the area of concern. Results can show within 1 month with final results occurring around the 3 month mark. Results are permanent with a healthy lifestyle.
Swelling post treatment is not uncommon and can last up to days or weeks depending on the client and how much Kybella was used. We recommend our clients have multiple treatments with smaller dosing to avoid significant – low and slow.
Kybella at LUMAesthetics in Rochester, NY is priced at $650 per vial OR 3 vials for $1800. Our clients most often use multiple vials and potentially multiple rounds of treatments for the best results.
Additionally: Kybella can be used in other places besides under the chin! We can use Kybella for underarm/”bra fat”, on the lower cheeks, “love handles”, or most places with small pockets of fat.
Kybella Best Practices
DO:
• Apply ice within 24 hours, then use recommended heat therapy.
• If necessary, take Tylenol for any discomfort or headaches and apply ice.
• Capture progress through photos.
• Be patient; multiple treatments may be required for optimal results.
DONT:
• Panic; responses in the first week may worsen before improvement occurs.
• Keep body temperature low; refrain from saunas, hot tubs, and intense workouts for 24 hours.
• Rub the treated area.
• Apply makeup for at least 4 hours after treatment.
• Consume alcohol 24 hours before or after (as it may increase the risk of bruising).

Kybella FAQs
-
Kybella uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.
-
Kybella is administered by injections into the fat under the chin. Each in-office treatment session is typically 15-20 minutes.
Before starting, we discuss your goals and treatment dosing based on evaluation. We suggest doses based on patient goals and starting points, and discuss potential timelines and future treatments, as well as discuss post-procedure care and side effects.
-
Similar to Botox and filler appointments, some clients experience discomfort due to needle pokes, however pain from Kybella treatments should be minimal – the needles will be going into fattier areas of the body, which typically feel less than thinner-skinned areas (like lips or foreheads).
Post-procedure discomfort can occur and varies by patient, but can include swelling and stiffness of the chin and neck, or numbness. This will be discussed during your consultation or appointment. However pain post-procedure should be minimal. Ice & Tylenol will help!
-
Results using Kybella are typically noticeable within 4-6 weeks, with more final results around 2-3 months. This varies by client and can depend on a number of factors, including metabolism, activity levels, and more.
-
Results are permanent with a healthy lifestyle.
-
