The Treatment
What is Kybella & Kybella Works?
“The only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys submental fat cells beneath the chin.”
Kybella uses synthetic deoxycholic acid — a molecule your body naturally produces to absorb dietary fat — to target and permanently dissolve fat cells in the submental area (beneath your chin). Once destroyed, those cells can never return.
Whether your double chin stems from genetics, weight fluctuation, or natural aging, Kybella offers a clinically proven, minimally invasive path to a sharper, more defined jawline without surgery or general anesthesia.
Kybella uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat cells beneath the chin permanently. Once destroyed, these fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, creating a more sculpted jawline over time.
Precise Injection
Deoxycholic acid is injected in a carefully mapped grid pattern beneath the chin (15–20 min per session).
Cellular Disruption
The acid disrupts fat cell membranes, triggering their breakdown and natural processing by the lymphatic system.
Permanent Elimination
Over 4–12 weeks, your body naturally flushes the destroyed cells — results that are genuinely permanent.

When Will You
See Results?
Kybella works gradually — your body’s natural processes do the heavy lifting. Here’s what to expect after each milestone.
Important Note
While Kybella permanently destroys treated fat cells, significant weight gain after treatment may cause adjacent fat cells to enlarge. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight preserves your results long-term.
From Consultation
to Confident Profile
Step One
Free Consultation
A comprehensive evaluation of your chin profile, skin quality, medical history, and aesthetic goals determines whether Kybella is the right fit — or if an alternative like CoolSculpting may serve you better.
Step Two
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your provider maps out your custom injection grid, determines the optimal number of sessions (typically 2–4), and establishes your desired outcome. Your plan is entirely unique to your anatomy.
Step Three
The Injection Session
Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Kybella (which contains lidocaine) is then injected in a precise grid pattern beneath the chin. The entire process takes 15–20 minutes.
Step Four
Recovery & Follow-Up
Mild swelling and tenderness are expected and temporary. You return to normal activities within 1–2 days. Follow-up visits are scheduled 4–6 weeks apart to assess progress and plan subsequent sessions.
Step Five
Your Permanent Result
Approximately 12 weeks after your final session, your full, permanent result is visible. A contoured, defined jawline that requires no maintenance and no follow-up treatments.
Is Kybella Safe? Understanding Side Effects
Kybella is FDA-approved and has been extensively studied in clinical trials involving thousands of patients. When administered by a qualified professional, it is considered a safe and effective treatment for submental fat reduction.
Common Side Effects (Temporary · Resolve Within Days)
- Swelling in the treatment area (most common and expected — peaks at 24–48 hours)
- Bruising or redness at injection sites
- Numbness or temporary tingling sensation

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Kybella cost in Kirkland, WA?
Kybella pricing at Templum Aesthetics varies based on the number of treatment sessions needed and the amount of product required for your anatomy. Most patients require 2–4 sessions. We provide fully transparent, personalized pricing during your free consultation.
Does Kybella hurt? What does it feel like?
Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort during injections. We apply topical numbing cream beforehand, and Kybella’s formulation includes lidocaine to further minimize sensation. The injection process takes only a few minutes.
How long do Kybella results last?
Kybella results are permanent. Once fat cells are destroyed by deoxycholic acid, they cannot regenerate or store fat. Significant weight gain may affect adjacent fat cells, so maintaining a stable weight preserves your results long-term.
Can Kybella be used on other body areas?
Kybella is FDA-approved specifically for submental fat (under the chin). While some practitioners use it off-label for other small fat pockets, Templum Aesthetics adheres to approved indications for your safety.
Kybella vs. CoolSculpting for the chin — which is better?
Both are effective, non-surgical options. Kybella uses injectable deoxycholic acid while CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling. Kybella typically requires more sessions with a recovery period, while CoolSculpting usually needs 1–2 sessions. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals.
Can I combine Kybella with other treatments?
Yes. Kybella pairs well with Botox for the jawline, dermal fillers for chin projection, or skin tightening procedures. Treatments are strategically scheduled to optimize your overall facial aesthetic. Discuss your goals during consultation.
