Meet with one of our providers to see if Kybella is right for you!
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella is made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring acid in your digestive system that breaks down fat. Upon injection, it targets your fat cells and melts them so your body can dispose of the cellular debris, reducing stubborn fat.
Kybella is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment that reduces fat on various parts of your body. While it’s most commonly used under the chin (submental), this formula is versatile and can reduce fat in other ares of the body as well.
Benefits of Kybella
No Downtime
Kybella requires no downtime, so you can resume your day as usual as soon as you leave our office. Our team still gives you a list of post-care instructions designed to support healing and best results, but they shouldn’t hold you back from plans or social events.
Comfortable Sessions
Kybella injections shouldn’t cause much pain, just a slight pinch or poke. And our experienced injectors make sure you feel comfortable throughout your appointment.
Permanent Results
Kybella yields permanent results because once the fat cells are gone, they do not regenerate. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t still gain weight in the area. For best results, maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

Step-by-Step: The Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
Before your injections, you sit down with a member of our team to discuss your concerns. We review your medical history to determine if you’re a candidate for Kybella in Winter Garden. After this brief discussion, we create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Step 2: Treatment
Your provider begins treatment by marking each injection site and applying a numbing agent to the treatment area. Once you’re comfortable, they make careful injections to help you reach your goals.
Step 3: Results
Results appear gradually as you continue your treatment plan. It typically takes 3 to 6 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. As your body continues to flush your fat cells, you’ll notice a slimmer jawline over the course of your sessions.
