KYBELLA® - Destroy Fat Cells

Treatment can only be administered by a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare specialist. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections in select areas of excess fat, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile.

Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA^® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments per area. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.

After KYBELLA® treatment, you will likely have some tenderness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the area of injection. Take time after the treatment to take it easy, rest, relax and let the healing process begin.

Be sure to inform your healthcare professional if you develop an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, or difficulty swallowing. You may need to stay off of your feet and take time to ice.

KYBELLA® can cause serious side effects, including nerve injury in the jaw that can temporarily cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness (experienced by 4 out of 100 people in clinical studies) and trouble swallowing (experienced by 2 out of 100 people in clinical studies).

In clinical studies, nerve injury in the jaw resolved on its own in a median of 44 days (range of 1 to 298 days), and trouble swallowing resolved on its own in a median of 3 days (range of 1 to 81 days).

Side effects are usually temporary and often resolve on their own.
