The area underneath the chin is a natural place for the body to deposit fat. Many of our clients are not happy with the look of fullness this can cause. Excess fat beneath the chin can be the result of normal weight gain, the aging process, or even your own genetics. Even those who live a healthy lifestyle and are at normal weight can experience a “double chin.”

Kybella® is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical injectable treatment to contour the chin and eliminate excess fat. The active ingredient in Kybella, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and eliminate unwanted fat cells. Patients who turn to CATARA Medical Spa for Kybella in Algonquin can expect to achieve a much more flattering silhouette after a series of 3 to 6 treatment sessions.

Can Kybella be used in any other areas?


Currently, Kybella is only FDA-approved to be used to reduce fat under the chin, commonly called a double chin.

How long will the fat be gone after Kybella injections?

Once Kybella treats and destroys the fat cells beneath the chin, this is permanent. Future changes in weight, lifestyle, or hormones may influence the overall increase in fullness in the area as a reflection of total body changes.

How many Kybella treatments will I need?


Most of our patients need between 2 and 4 Kybella treatments to reach their final goal. We'll discuss the number of treatments you need during your consultation.

How long will it take to see my final results from Kybella?

Kybella results are not instant. It takes between three to six months for the injection to destroy the fat cells, and for those fat cells to be naturally eliminated by the body. 


Does Kybella hurt?

Most of our patients report very little discomfort from Kybella injections in Algonquin. There can be some fullness and tightness for a couple of days following the procedure. Our team will provide you with post-treatment instructions for how to properly care for your skin in the days and weeks that follow to help you feel comfortable and satisfied with your treatment.
