Profile Sculpting & Jawline Definition
Refine your profile with the only FDA-approved injectable for the “double chin.”
A well-defined jawline is a hallmark of a youthful, fit appearance. However, the submental area (under the chin) is often resistant to even the strictest diet and exercise routines. At Peninsula MedSpa, we offer Kybella®—a revolutionary, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to permanently dissolve fat cells under the chin, revealing a sleek and contoured profile without a single incision.
The Science of Contouring
Kybella® is formulated using a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When precisely injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys the cell membranes. Once those cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, resulting in a permanent transformation of your silhouette.
Is Kybella Right For You?
Kybella is an ideal solution for patients experiencing:
- Submental Fullness: Often referred to as a “double chin,” which can be caused by genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations.
- Lack of Jawline Definition: Where the transition from the chin to the neck appears soft or blended.
- Resistance to Lifestyle Changes: Fullness that persists despite reaching your goal weight.
The Benefits
- Permanent Results: Once the fat cells are destroyed, the results are lasting—no “maintenance” injections are required once your goal is reached.
- Non-Surgical: Avoid the anesthesia, scarring, and long recovery times associated with liposuction or neck lifts.
- Tailored Treatment: Your injector will customize the number of sessions based on your specific anatomy and desired level of definition.
- Enhanced Confidence: A sharper jawline often creates the illusion of a slimmer, more youthful overall appearance.
What to Expect
The treatment involves a series of small injections under the chin. The process is relatively quick, typically lasting about 20 minutes. Most patients require a series of 2 to 4 treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart to achieve optimal results.
Because Kybella works by inducing an inflammatory response to break down fat, some swelling in the treatment area is expected and is actually a sign that the treatment is working. This “social downtime” typically subsides within a few days to a week, leaving behind a noticeably firmer, more defined jawline.
