In 2015, the FDA approved Kybella®, the only injectable treatment for extra fat underneath the chin, or the area not-so-lovingly referred to as the “double chin”. Before Kybella®, there were few options for this area. Aside from weight loss, which didn’t even always address the double chin area (and even sometimes made it worse), the only other real option was plastic surgery, which many patients shied away from since it required them to go under the knife. Now, you can get rid of your double chin with a simple series of injections.
At Valley Medical Weight Loss and Med Spa, we’re proud to offer Kybella® as a safe, effective, and non-surgical solution for submental fullness. Say goodbye to your double chin without surgery or downtime.

Kybella® contains a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that also occurs naturally in the body. As a natural part of your body, deoxycholic acid helps to break down and absorb excess fat from the diet.
What deoxycholic acid does:
When injected into the “double chin”, deoxycholic acid destroys the excess fat cells, resulting in a significant reduction in the fullness of the “double chin” area.
The mechanism:
Why results are permanent:
Even better still, the reduction of these fat cells is for good – meaning that once these cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good, so most people don’t need further treatments.
Permanent results mean:
Important note: While treated fat cells are gone permanently, remaining fat cells can still accumulate fat with weight gain. Maintaining a healthy weight helps preserve results.
Clinical studies show:
FDA approval significance:
The number of treatment sessions varies from patient to patient, since everyone’s goals are different.
Factors affecting treatment number:
Typical treatment schedule:
Each treatment, or injection, is given about one month apart, and most patients receive six or fewer treatments.
Why spacing matters:
