Kybella Treatment in Roswell, GA
Zoom meetings have given us a new view of our chins. We’re seeing them more than ever before! If you’re tired of seeing your double chin or jowls on your screen, Kybella can melt it away in as little as one appointment!
Kybella is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment that dissolves excess fat around the jawline. Used to treat both double chins and jowls, Kybella uses a series of deoxycholic acid injections that destroy fat cells in the area, which are then naturally reabsorbed by the body. Kybella results are permanent! Once the fat cells die, they cannot regrow!
There is no downtime with Kybella. You may experience some temporary swelling at the injection site that fades quickly. Simply visit our office, have your Kybella injections done, and get on with your day!

Kybella is a specialized injectable treatment designed to address “submental fullness,” the clinical term for a double chin. The active ingredient is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally produced in your body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When we inject it into the fat beneath your chin, it begins destroying those specific fat cells.
Once those cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. This makes Kybella a powerful alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction. It offers a way to refine your facial profile and restore a more youthful, athletic appearance without incisions or general anesthesia.
Ask your Ageless Remedies provider if combining Kybella with dermal fillers is the right fit for your goals!
The way fat sits in your face has a huge influence on your overall appearance. A double chin, or excess fat directly underneath the chin, can impact the lines of your face and make you appear as if you’re overweight, even if you’re not! Kybella injected into the double chin fat melts the fat away, slimming your face, and giving you a more sculpted jawline.
The dreaded jowls. Most people end up with them eventually. Through a combination of genetics, lifestyle (smoking and staring down at screens consistently both contribute to the development of jowls), weight, and aging, nearly everyone develops jowls. Kybella injections can reduce the amount of fat in the area of jowls, reducing their appearance and almost instantly shaving years off your appearance!
Once Kybella has effectively melted away the fat under your chin, you may find that adding dermal fillers is the perfect finishing touch for a truly refined profile. While Kybella addresses the contour of your neck, fillers can add subtle volume to the chin or jawline, creating a more structured, balanced appearance. This combination approach helps to highlight your newly sculpted jawline and ensures your facial features look harmonious and youthfully refreshed from every angle.
The process is quick and straightforward. During your appointment, your provider will carefully mark the injection sites on your neck to ensure a balanced and natural-looking result. We may use a topical numbing cream or ice packs to make the experience as comfortable as possible for you.
Using a very fine needle, the provider will perform a series of small injections into the targeted fat. The entire treatment usually takes about 15 to 45 minutes. You might feel a warming or tingling sensation during the process, but this is temporary. Once the injections are complete, you are free to leave our Roswell office and resume your normal activities.
Kybella is specifically engineered to treat the fat that accumulates under the chin and along the jawline. This area is often resistant to even the most disciplined diet and exercise routines. By melting away these fat deposits, we can correct the look of a "heavy" neck or jowls that have begun to sag due to aging and gravity.
The most significant benefit of Kybella is that the results are permanent. Unlike many other aesthetic treatments that require periodic maintenance, once you reach your desired goal with Kybella, the fat is gone for good. This makes it an incredible investment in your long-term confidence.
Beyond the permanence, Kybella is non-surgical. This means no scars, no stitches, and no lengthy hospital stays. It is a "lunchtime" procedure that fits into a busy life. Additionally, as the fat dissolves, many patients notice a subtle tightening of the skin around the jawline, further enhancing their rejuvenated appearance.
Most healthy adults who are bothered by moderate-to-severe fat under the chin or along the jawline are good candidates. Kybella is particularly effective for those with good skin elasticity. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and examine the area to ensure Kybella is the right fit for your goals.
You should avoid Kybella if you have an active infection in the treatment area or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have had previous surgery or have trouble swallowing, please let us know so we can plan your treatment safely. We want to ensure that every session moves you closer to the look you desire.
Recovery from Kybella is manageable, but there is one thing every patient should prepare for: the "bullfrog" effect. Because Kybella is actively breaking down fat cells, significant swelling is a normal and expected part of the process. This swelling typically peaks in the first 48 hours and then gradually subsides over the next week.
We recommend wearing a high-necked shirt or a scarf if you are feeling self-conscious during those first few days. You can use ice packs and over-the-counter pain relief if you feel any tenderness. Most importantly, stay hydrated and be patient with your body as it naturally processes the treated fat cells.
Kybella results do not happen overnight, but they are well worth the wait. Most patients begin to see a visible reduction in their double chin about four to six weeks after their first session. Because the fat is processed naturally by your body's lymphatic system, the contouring happens gradually, making it look like you simply lost weight.
Depending on the amount of fat present, most people require two to four treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart. Once the final results are achieved, you will enjoy a sharper, more defined jawline that lasts a lifetime.
At Ageless Remedies of Roswell, we treat every injection as a precise clinical art. Our providers are highly trained in the anatomy of the neck and jawline, ensuring that Kybella is safely and effectively administered. We combine medical expertise with a warm, caregiver approach that puts your comfort first. We are here to listen to your concerns and help you achieve the ageless look you’ve been dreaming of.
Every chin is different! Most of our patients achieve their best results after two to four treatment sessions. We space these appointments about 6 weeks apart to give your body time to process the fat and for the swelling to fully resolve.
Yes! When Kybella is injected into the fat under the chin, it physically destroys the fat cells. Once those cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or grow fat. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a stable weight, your new jawline profile should be permanent.
The injections themselves are very quick and feel like a small pinch. After the deoxycholic acid is injected, you may feel a stinging or burning sensation for about 10 to 15 minutes. We use ice and other comfort measures to help make the process as easy as possible for you.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves incisions and the suctioning out of fat. It requires downtime and often general anesthesia. Kybella is a non-surgical injectable. While it takes longer to see the final results compared to surgery, it avoids the risks and scars associated with an operation.
The most common side effect is swelling at the injection site. Other temporary side effects can include bruising, redness, or a small area of numbness. These are all signs that the treatment is working and usually resolve within 1 to 2 weeks.
Currently, Kybella is only FDA-approved for use in the submental area (under the chin). However, some providers use it off-label for small pockets of fat in other areas, such as the jowls or "bra fat." We will discuss the best options for your specific concerns during your consultation.
