The Kybella Experience: What to Expect from Swelling to Final Results

Kybella is a revolutionary treatment designed to eliminate submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. At Pure Skin, we aim to provide our clients with detailed information about the Kybella experience, from the initial swelling to the final results.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat cells. It is specifically used to target and reduce fat under the chin, resulting in a more defined jawline and neck profile.


The Treatment Process

  1. Consultation: During your consultation at Pure Skin, our experts will evaluate your chin area and discuss your goals to determine if Kybella is right for you.
  2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be marked and numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
  3. Injection: Kybella is administered through multiple small injections under the chin. The process typically takes 15-20 minutes.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: You may experience some swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. It’s important to follow all post-care instructions provided by your practitioner.

Swelling and Recovery

Swelling is a normal part of the Kybella treatment process and indicates that the treatment is working. Here’s what to expect:


  • Immediate Swelling: Swelling can be significant immediately after the treatment and may last for several days to a few weeks.
  • Bruising and Numbness: Bruising and numbness are common and should subside within a few days to weeks.
  • Gradual Improvement: As the swelling decreases, you’ll start to see an improvement in the contour of your chin and neck. Full results are typically visible after 4-6 weeks.

Final Results

Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, so once the desired results are achieved, no further treatments are necessary. Most clients require 2-4 sessions spaced about a month apart. The final results are a more contoured and defined chin and jawline.

Potential Side Effects

While Kybella is generally safe, some potential side effects include:


  • Swelling and Bruising: These are the most common side effects and are part of the natural healing process.
  • Numbness: Temporary numbness in the treated area can occur but usually resolves on its own.
  • Hardness or Lumps: Some clients may experience temporary hardness or lumps in the treatment area.
