Treatment faq
6 weeks. The best results usually require a series of 2 to 4 treatments, spaced 6 weeks apart.

Yes, Kybella is regarded as safe when administered by a trained, qualified professional. It’s made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. Kybella was approved for cosmetic use by the FDA in 2015.
As with any aesthetic procedure, it’s essential to see a licensed and experienced injector with the knowledge and skill to properly and safely inject Kybella.
Results are permanent. Healthy diet and lifestyle are essential for maintaining results.
