Effortlessly reduce stubborn fat with the power of non-surgical Kybella treatments at Elegance Aesthetics.
Despite maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle, certain areas of stubborn fat can be difficult to eliminate. One of the most common problem areas is submental fullness, more commonly known as a double chin, which can impact facial balance and contour.
The solution? Kybella—a revolutionary FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently eliminates unwanted fat cells without the need for surgery, incisions, or downtime. By targeting and breaking down fat beneath the skin, Kybella creates a more sculpted, contoured profile with long-lasting results.
At Elegance Aesthetics in Towson, we specialize in Kybella treatments, tailoring each session to suit your unique needs and ensuring natural-looking, refined results.
Exploring Kybella Fat Dissolver Treatment
Kybella is an advanced injectable treatment designed to dissolve unwanted fat using synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in breaking down and absorbing fat.
When administered to areas with persistent fat deposits, Kybella effectively targets and destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat again. Once these cells are removed, they do not regenerate, making Kybella a long-term fat reduction solution when combined with a balanced diet and consistent weight management.
The Science Behind Kybella
Kybella works by initiating a process called cytolysis, in which deoxycholic acid directly breaks down fat cells. Once injected, the solution disrupts the fat cell membranes, causing them to dissolve, after which the body naturally processes and eliminates them over the following weeks.
Because the treated fat cells are permanently removed, Kybella provides lasting fat reduction in the targeted areas. However, maintaining a steady weight and healthy lifestyle is essential to sustaining your results and preventing fat accumulation in surrounding areas.
Where Can Kybella Be Used?
Kybella is FDA-approved for treating submental fat (double chin), but it is also effective in other localized fat deposits where stubborn fat accumulates.
Treatment Areas for Kybella:
Chin & Jawline: Kybella is most commonly used to reduce fat under the chin, refining jawline definition and creating a slimmer, more sculpted profile.
Jowls: Reduces fat along the jawline and lower cheeks, helping to improve facial contours.
Bra Bulges: Targets small pockets of fat near the bra line or underarms for a smoother, sculpted appearance.
Lower Abdomen & Flanks: While not a replacement for body contouring, Kybella can reduce small, stubborn fat deposits in these areas.
Knees & Inner Thighs: Helps minimize stubborn fat pockets for a more toned, contoured look.
At Elegance Aesthetics in Towson, our specialists will determine if Kybella is the right treatment for you and develop a customized plan based on your aesthetic goals.

The Kybella Treatment Process at Elegance Aesthetics in Towson
Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation where we assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and analyze fat distribution to develop a personalized treatment plan. Our expert practitioners will evaluate your facial structure and recommend the ideal approach to achieving your desired contour.
Preparation for Treatment
On the day of your procedure, the targeted area will be thoroughly cleansed to maintain a sterile environment. If needed, a topical numbing agent can be applied to enhance comfort during the injections. Your provider will carefully map out the injection points to ensure precise fat reduction and balanced results.
Administering Kybella Injections
One of our skilled professionals will strategically inject Kybella into the treatment area using a fine needle, following a grid-like pattern for uniform fat dissolution. The process typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Some patients report a mild tingling or warmth as the deoxycholic acid starts breaking down fat cells, which is a normal response.
Post-Treatment Recovery & Aftercare
Following your Kybella treatment, mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur, but these effects usually subside within a few days to a week. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare guidelines to support a smooth recovery and help you achieve the best possible results.
Some clients may experience temporary numbness or slight firmness in the treated area, which will gradually diminish as the body processes and removes the destroyed fat cells.
What Results Can I Expect?
Kybella works gradually, with full results developing over time as the body metabolizes the treated fat cells.
- First noticeable results appear within 4–6 weeks after treatment
- Full results become visible over 2–3 months as the fat cells are naturally eliminated
- Most clients need 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve their desired outcome

Kybella FAQs
Can Kybella create a more defined jawline?
Yes, by reducing fat beneath the chin, Kybella enhances jawline definition, making it a popular choice for contouring and facial sculpting. As the fat dissolves over time, the jawline appears sharper and more structured, giving the face a more youthful and refined look.
Does Kybella work the same for men and women?
Yes, Kybella is equally effective for both men and women, helping to define the jawline and eliminate stubborn fat regardless of gender. Men often seek Kybella to achieve a more chiseled jawline, while women commonly use it for soft, natural contouring.
Is there an ideal age for getting Kybella?
There is no specific age requirement, but Kybella is most commonly used by adults in their 20s to 50s who want to refine their facial profile. It is ideal for those with good skin elasticity, as the treatment targets fat reduction but does not tighten loose skin.
What happens if I gain weight after Kybella?
While the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, remaining fat cells in the area can expand with weight gain, potentially affecting your results. To maintain the sculpted appearance achieved with Kybella, a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle are recommended.
How long should I wait between Kybella treatments?
Treatments are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, allowing your body enough time to break down and eliminate the dissolved fat cells. The exact interval depends on your body’s natural response and the amount of fat being treated.
Can Kybella cause nerve damage?
Serious side effects like nerve damage are extremely rare when administered by a trained professional. Some clients may experience temporary numbness or tingling, but this typically resolves within a few weeks as the area heals.
What is the best way to reduce swelling after Kybella?
Applying a cold compress to the treated area, staying hydrated, avoiding excessive salt and alcohol, and sleeping with your head elevated can all help reduce swelling more quickly. Light lymphatic drainage massage may also assist in minimizing fluid retention.
Can Kybella improve the appearance of a recessed chin?
While Kybella reduces fat, it does not add volume to the chin. If you have a recessed chin, combining Kybella with chin fillers or considering a chin implant may be a better option for achieving a well-balanced and proportionate facial profile.
How does Kybella affect skin texture in the treated area?
Kybella only targets fat cells, so skin texture remains unchanged. However, if you have significant skin laxity, the loss of fat may make loose skin more noticeable. In such cases, additional treatments like radiofrequency skin tightening or microneedling may be recommended to improve overall skin firmness.
Will Kybella’s results look natural?
Yes, because Kybella works gradually over time, the fat reduction process mimics natural weight loss, creating a smooth and natural-looking contour. Since the treatment allows for progressive sculpting, it avoids the sudden or drastic appearance that surgical procedures might cause.
