Reduce the Appearance of a Double Chin With Kybella®
A defined chin and jawline can play an important role in overall facial balance. If excess fat beneath the chin is affecting the appearance of your profile, Kybella® in Canton, MA offers a non-surgical treatment option designed specifically to address submental fullness.
At Dream Spa Medical, Kybella uses a naturally occurring molecule called deoxycholic acid to target and destroy fat cells beneath the chin. Over time, the body naturally processes the treated fat cells, helping create a more defined-looking chin and jawline.

How the Kybella® Process Works
Your Kybella treatment in Canton begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns while evaluating the area beneath your chin to determine whether Kybella is appropriate for you.
During treatment, your Dream Spa Medical provider administers a series of carefully placed injections into the targeted submental fat. Kybella works by disrupting the membranes of fat cells, allowing your body to naturally metabolize and eliminate them over time.
As the treatment progresses, you may notice a reduction in the appearance of submental fullness and a more defined-looking jawline. The number of treatments needed varies based on your individual anatomy and goals.

Kybella is a prescription medicine designed for adults looking to enhance the profile and appearance of moderate to severe fat below the chin, often referred to as “submental fat.”
This innovative treatment is crafted from a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a bile acid your body naturally produces to assist in fat absorption. When Kybella is injected, it goes to work by breaking down fat cells in the chin area, preventing them from storing fat. Your body’s lymphatic system then steps in to flush away the remnants.
Notably, Kybella stands as the sole FDA-approved treatment of its kind, offering a highly popular, non-surgical solution for addressing submental fat (“double chin”). Best of all, it comes with minimal “social downtime.” Any slight swelling typically fades within a few weeks, ensuring you can carry on with your routine.
Double chins, often referred to as “submental fullness,” result from an accumulation of excess fat beneath the chin. There are various factors contributing to the development of a double chin, including:
Genetics. Your family history can play a role in your predisposition to submental fullness.
Aging. As we age, skin and muscles may lose their elasticity, allowing fat to accumulate in the chin area.
Weight Gain. Gaining weight can also contribute to the formation of a double chin.
No matter the cause, Kybella in Canton is an effective solution for your double chin. It can target and permanently remove submental fat, ultimately enhancing the definition of your chin and jawline.
The number of Kybella treatments you’ll require is contingent upon your specific aesthetic objectives. Following your consultation with a Dream Spa Medical provider, we’ll determine if Kybella in Canton aligns with your needs. If it does, we’ll arrange your treatment plan to accompany you on your aesthetic journey.
Typically, most patients achieve visible results over the course of 2 to 4 Kybella treatments, which are usually spaced about a month apart.
A Kybella treatment session is remarkably efficient, typically lasting only 15 to 30 minutes. In fact, it’s often referred to as a “lunch break” treatment due to its brevity. While some patients may notice results after just one session, others may opt for up to 4 sessions to achieve their desired outcome. The best part is the minimal downtime associated with the procedure. Your results will appear natural and subtle, enhancing your profile and emphasizing the facial contours that truly accentuate your facial harmony and natural beauty.

- Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks’ time in between any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol & blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- You may opt to take an over-the-counter antihistamine (Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin) for 2 days leading up to your appointment. This may help to reduce your swelling post-treatment.
- If you are prone to and being treated in an area that may cause a Herpes Labialis outbreak, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- Bruising and swelling can be expected post-treatment. We suggest taking Arnica tablets for 5 to 7 days prior to your treatment to help reduce both effects.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles can at times cause you to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treatment area will feel sensitive and tender to the touch. This will resolve over the course of 2 weeks.
- The treatment can produce a significant amount of swelling, typically peaking within the first 5 days following your procedure and gradually decreasing over the course of 2 weeks. You may apply ice intermittently on and off for 30 seconds for a 5- to 15-minute time period to the treatment area to help reduce the swelling. This can be done for 2 to 5 days post-treatment. In cases where swelling is very uncomfortable, we suggest gently wrapping an ACE bandage around your head and submental area to gently apply compression and improve discomfort.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and sweating for 24 to 48 hours.
- Visible injection marks are normal and to be expected in most cases. This usually subsides within 24 hours.
- Treated areas should be cared for gently when washing your face or applying products. It is best to not touch or manipulate the treated area.
- Do not scratch or pick at the injection sites, this may cause infection.
- We suggest waiting a full 2 weeks before any additional treatments, such as facials, peels, laser treatments, etc.
