Kybella®

Permanent Fat Dissolver

Kybella in Wilton, CT

Kybella® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment designed to improve the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat, commonly referred to as a “double chin.” If you’ve struggled with unwanted chin fat and thought surgery was your only option, think again—Kybella® offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative that delivers lasting results.


Using a patented synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps the body break down and absorb dietary fat, Kybella® targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Once treated, these fat cells are permanently eliminated, leaving you with a slimmer, more contoured jawline. Most patients see visible results in as little as two to three sessions, spaced about a month apart.

How Does Kybella® Work?

It’s a straightforward three-step process:


  1. Injection – Kybella® is precisely injected into the submental area by a licensed healthcare professional.
  2. Destruction – The deoxycholic acid in Kybella® breaks down fat cell membranes.
  3. Elimination – The destroyed fat cells are metabolized and naturally removed by your body, leaving behind a refined profile.


The treatment is quick, typically taking about 15-20 minutes, and requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

FAQs

  • What is Kybella®, and what does it treat?

    Kybella® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin — an area commonly referred to as a "double chin" or submental fat. It is offered at Melluna Whole Body Health & Aesthetics in Wilton, CT as a safe, minimally invasive alternative to surgical chin liposuction.

  • Is Kybella® permanent?

    Yes. Once Kybella® destroys the fat cells beneath the chin, those cells are permanently eliminated and cannot regenerate. This makes Kybella® one of the few non-surgical aesthetic treatments that delivers truly permanent fat reduction results.

  • How many Kybella® treatments will I need?

    Most patients at Melluna see visible results in as little as two to three Kybella® sessions, spaced approximately one month apart. 


    The exact number of treatments depends on the amount of submental fat and the patient's individual goals.

  • How long does a Kybella® treatment take?

    Kybella® treatment at Melluna typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, making it a convenient option for patients with busy schedules. There is little to no downtime following the procedure.

  • What is deoxycholic acid, and is it safe?

    Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. The deoxycholic acid in Kybella® is a patented synthetic version of this molecule, formulated specifically to target and destroy submental fat cells. Kybella® is FDA-approved and has been clinically evaluated for safety and efficacy.

  • What results can I expect from Kybella® at Melluna?

    After completing their Kybella® treatment series, patients at Melluna can expect a noticeably slimmer, more contoured chin and jawline profile. Because the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, results are long-lasting as long as a stable weight is maintained.
