If you’ve been suffering from that pesky “double chin,” our experts at Cultura have the perfect solution. We’ll introduce you to Kybella®, an innovative, FDA-approved injectable that reduces that stubborn under-chin fat. This groundbreaking treatment is safely administered by our certified professionals boasting 23 years of experience. Kybella® is a specialized prescription option that improves the contour of the chin, subduing fat accumulation from moderate to severe. Whether it’s hereditary, the result of your body’s natural aging process, or weight fluctuations—submental fullness is a universal headache and we’re proud to be able to offer our patients relief. Kybella® is a massive leap forward in cosmetic treatments, utilizing the power of deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat cells that are gradually flushed away by your body.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is a groundbreaking, FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to address submental fat, commonly known as the “double chin.” Administered exclusively by trained professionals, Kybella® is a prescription medicine that improves the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin. Whether it’s due to genetics, aging, or weight gain, submental fullness can affect anyone. Kybella® offers a transformative solution, utilizing deoxycholic acid to destroy fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the lymphatic system.
Advantages of Kybella®

-
Non-Surgical & Convenient
Kybella® offers a quick, non-invasive way to reduce submental fullness (double chin) without surgery or extended downtime. Most treatments take just 15–20 minutes, making it ideal for busy schedules.
-
Permanent Fat Reduction
This FDA-approved injectable permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin, meaning once results are achieved, the fat won't return with proper weight maintenance.
-
Personalized Treatment Plans
Each Kybella® treatment is tailored to your unique goals. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal, natural-looking contouring results.
-
Boosts Confidence & Facial Definition
Reducing a double chin can enhance your jawline and profile, helping you feel more confident in photos, social settings, and everyday life.
Treatment Protocol
The active ingredient in Kybella is 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. The number of treatments is tailored to each patient and multiple treatments may be needed in order to achieve satisfactory results. You should let our certified specialists know about all the medications you are taking, whether prescription or over-the-counter, as well as if you have had or are planning to have any cosmetic treatments on your face, neck, or chin. This will help us see if you have a history of difficulty swallowing, bleeding problems, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.
