Kybella in Algonquin, IL
Reduce submental fullness — the “double chin” — with an injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin. No surgery, no incisions.
Submental fat is stubborn. For many people it persists regardless of diet or exercise, because it is largely determined by genetics rather than weight. Kybella offers a non-surgical way to address it directly.
Kybella Is an Injectable — But It Is Not a Filler
This is the single most important thing to understand about Kybella, and it is worth stating plainly. Dermal fillers add volume. Kybella removes it.
Fillers such as Restylane Kysse, Voluma, and Radiesse are gels placed beneath the skin to restore lost volume and structure — and hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if an adjustment is wanted. Kybella works by an entirely different mechanism: its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a substance that breaks down and destroys fat cells. Once those fat cells are destroyed, they do not return.
That difference matters in both directions. It means results are lasting — but it also means the treatment is not reversible the way hyaluronic acid filler is. This is a treatment to plan carefully with your injector, and we will make sure you are a good candidate before proceeding.
Kybella Pricing
- Kybella — $800/syringe
Kybella is typically performed as a series of treatment sessions rather than a single visit, with the number of syringes and sessions depending on the amount of submental fullness being treated and the result you are after. Your injector will outline a realistic plan and total cost at your consultation.
What Kybella Treats
- Submental fullness — fat beneath the chin
- The appearance of a “double chin”
- A softened or undefined profile through the chin and neck
- Genetic submental fat that persists despite diet and exercise
What to Expect
Kybella is administered as a series of small injections beneath the chin during an in-office visit. Swelling in the treated area afterward is expected and is a normal part of how the treatment works — it can be noticeable and may last for a stretch of days, so many patients plan their treatment timing with that in mind.
Results develop gradually as the body clears the destroyed fat cells over the weeks following each session. Your injector will review the full aftercare plan and the expected timeline with you.
Kybella and Jawline Definition
Reducing submental fullness and defining the jawline are related but distinct goals. Kybella reduces fat below the chin, while jawline filler adds structure along the jaw itself. Depending on your anatomy and goals, one or both may be recommended — we will talk through which approach fits at your consultation.
