Even a bit of extra fat in the upper throat area may cause the presence of a “double chin,” which is bothersome to most individuals. The additional pockets of fat below the chin (or the submental area) can be caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics that lead to a weaker jawline and chin for an undefined profile. Our team is proud to offer a revolutionary way to get rid of neck fat at Dolce Aesthetics™. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), KYBELLA is the first nonsurgical procedure for upper neck fat. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, which works like the natural DA in the body to dissolve and absorb fat cells. After it’s injected under the chin, you may see a noticeable reduction in fat. When the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot reform so you can enjoy your new, slim neck and strong jawline for years to come.

KYBELLA is performed during an in-office appointment. Our expert injectors will generally apply a numbing cream to the treatment area if requested after the skin has been cleansed. The injection takes about 15 minutes, which includes multiple small injections into the upper neck area. Some patients may only need a single treatment to get to their desired look while some may want a few injections spaced 3 – 4 weeks apart at Dolce Aesthetics.
KYBELLA treatments do not require anesthesia so you can leave the office as soon as you feel ready to resume your daily routine. While the fat that is destroyed will not regenerate, the remaining cells can still grow so you should keep a steady weight after your KYBELLA treatments to prevent new pockets of fat from forming. Optimal results following this treatment leave your neck looking tighter and slimmer and your profile will be more defined.
