Your journey toward a more defined profile may begin with a Kybella appointment, a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce submental fat (commonly known as a double chin). Knowing what to expect can help ensure you’re fully prepared for this transformative experience.
Freya’s Lair Medical Spa in Albuquerque, NM, is a full-service facility modeled after European spas. Our experienced nurse practitioners and estheticians offer aesthetic treatments—including Kybella—to help you achieve your goals while promoting overall health and wellness.
Before the Appointment
During your initial consultation, your provider will assess your candidacy for Kybella by examining your double chin and reviewing your medical history. This meeting is an opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, ask questions, and learn if you’re a good candidate for the treatment. The consultation will also cover the number of sessions you might need and any potential risks or side effects.
During the Treatment
On the day of your appointment, you will arrive at our relaxing, comfortable facility, where your injector will start by re-reviewing the treatment area. Precision is key with Kybella, so the provider will mark specific injection points on your chin to target unwanted fat deposits. After applying a numbing cream, the injections begin. The actual injection process typically takes about 15-20 minutes. You may feel a slight pinch or mild burning, which is generally well-tolerated.
After the Treatment
Once the injections are complete, you may experience side effects like swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treatment area, which typically subside within a few days. Visible improvements usually appear within four to six weeks as your body gradually metabolizes the fat cells. The result is a more beautifully defined and contoured jawline. With multiple sessions—often spaced about a month apart—you can expect a smoother, more sculpted profile that enhances your overall facial harmony.
