Kybella Treatment in Laguna Beach, CA

Eliminate stubborn fat without surgery with Kybella treatments at Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Laguna Beach.

Even with healthy eating and regular exercise, some areas of fat just won’t budge—especially under the chin. Submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, can make the face look less defined and add years to your appearance. If you’ve struggled with stubborn fat under the chin or along the jawline, there’s a solution that doesn’t require surgery.

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce fat in targeted areas. Using a naturally occurring compound, Kybella breaks down and dissolves fat cells, allowing the body to eliminate them gradually. The result? A slimmer, more sculpted profile—without the downtime of surgery.

At Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Laguna Beach, our skilled injectors use Kybella to enhance jawline definition and contour the lower face, giving you a refined, youthful look.

About Kybella

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment that targets and dissolves fat cells in areas of stubborn fullness. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that aids in fat breakdown and absorption.

When injected into the double chin or other small fat deposits, Kybella disrupts and destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future. Since the damaged fat cells are permanently removed, results are long-lasting as long as a stable weight is maintained.

Kybella is a great alternative for individuals who want fat reduction without liposuction or surgery. It requires no incisions or anesthesia, and treatments are customized to meet your specific aesthetic goals.

How Does it Work?

Kybella works by breaking down fat cells through a process called cytolysis.

  1. Fat cells absorb the deoxycholic acid, which destroys their outer membrane
  2. The damaged fat cells rupture, releasing stored fat
  3. The body naturally processes and eliminates the fat, leading to a gradual reduction in fullness

Since fat cells do not regenerate, once they are gone, they are gone for good. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to preserving your results.

Common Kybella Treatment Areas

Kybella is best known for treating submental fullness (double chin), but it can also be used on other small areas of stubborn fat.

Chin & Jawline

Kybella is FDA-approved for treating under-chin fat, refining the jawline, and creating a more sculpted profile.

Jowls

Kybella can reduce fat along the lower cheeks and jawline, improving facial contour and lifting sagging skin.

Bra Bulge

Small pockets of stubborn fat near the bra line can be treated for a smoother silhouette.

Lower Abdomen & Flanks

While Kybella is not a replacement for body contouring, it can help reduce minor fat deposits in these areas.

Knees & Inner Thighs

For those with persistent fat pockets around the knees or thighs, Kybella can create a more toned, streamlined look.

During your consultation at Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Laguna Beach, we’ll assess whether Kybella is right for your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan.

Benefits of Kybella at Amy Berisha Aesthetics

Kybella is a powerful, non-surgical solution for reducing stubborn fat. Here’s why our clients love it:

Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive

No need for liposuction, anesthesia, or incisions—Kybella requires only small injections to achieve dramatic fat reduction.

Permanent Fat Reduction

Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, making Kybella a long-lasting solution for contouring.

Minimal Downtime

Most clients return to daily activities right after treatment. Swelling and mild tenderness subside within a few days to a week.

Improved Jawline Definition

Kybella enhances jawline contours, creating a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

Customizable Treatments

We tailor Kybella to your specific needs, adjusting the number of injections and sessions to match your aesthetic goals.

Safe & FDA-Approved

Kybella has been clinically tested and FDA-approved for the reduction of submental fat, making it a trusted treatment option.

Good Candidates for Kybella

Kybella is ideal for men and women looking to reduce small pockets of fat and improve their facial profile. You may be a good candidate if you:

  1. Have excess fat under the chin that does not respond to diet or exercise.
  2. Prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
  3. Have good skin elasticity, as Kybella does not tighten loose skin.

Who Should Avoid Kybella?

Kybella is not suitable for individuals who:

  1. Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  2. Have loose, sagging skin (fat reduction can make skin laxity more visible).
  3. Have a history of difficulty swallowing or bleeding disorders.
  4. Have active infections or inflammation in the treatment area.

During your consultation, our specialists will evaluate your skin and medical history to ensure that Kybella is right for you.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment in Laguna Beach

Personalized Kybella Consultation

Your first appointment will be a one-on-one consultation where we evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach for treatment.

Preparing for Kybella Treatment

On the day of your procedure, the treatment area is cleaned, and a numbing agent may be applied to help keep you comfortable.

Kybella Injections

An Amy Berisha Aesthetics practitioner will carefully inject the Kybella into the target area in a grid-like pattern to ensure even fat distribution. They will do this using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Recovery & Aftercare

Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are normal and typically subside within a few days to a week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

When Will I See Results?

Kybella works gradually, as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells.Since fat cells do not regenerate, results are permanent with a healthy lifestyle.

First visible results: 4 to 6 weeks after treatment.

Full results: Typically appear after 2 to 3 months.

Recommended sessions: Most clients require 2 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
