What it does

Kybella at Illumatox.

Kybella destroys fat cells beneath the chin permanently. The cells are broken down and cleared by the body over the following weeks, and they do not come back.

Permanent is the selling point and the reason to be careful. It suits a defined pocket of submental fat on someone at a stable weight, and it is the wrong treatment where the issue is loose skin or a recessed jawline rather than fat.

Kybella is deoxycholic acid. It destroys fat cells under the chin, and those cells do not come back — which is what makes the result permanent in a way that most aesthetic treatments are not.

The trade-off is the recovery. Swelling after treatment is substantial and lasts several days; this is not something to book before an event.

Most people need two to four sessions spaced a month apart, and the change accumulates across them.

Common questions

What people ask about kybella.

How much does kybella cost in Neenah?

Kybella is $575 per vial, or $550 per vial for members at our Neenah studio. Every price is published on our pricing page — nothing is quote-on-request.

How swollen will I be?

Substantially, and this is the part people are not prepared for. Marked swelling under the chin for several days is the expected response rather than a complication — it is the treatment working. Most people take the first few days quietly and are presentable within a week, but plan around it rather than booking before something.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically two to four, spaced at least a month apart. The number depends on how much is there, and we would rather do fewer and reassess than sell you a package you may not need all of.

Is it permanent?

Yes, for the cells treated. They are destroyed and cleared rather than shrunk, so they cannot refill. Significant weight gain afterwards can still change the area, because the remaining cells enlarge — but the treated fat itself does not return.

What if my problem is loose skin rather than fat?

Then Kybella is the wrong treatment and would make it look worse, by removing the fat that was filling the skin. That distinction is what the consultation is for, and where the answer is laxity we would be talking about radiofrequency or jawline filler instead.

How much swelling should I expect?

More than you are expecting, and that is worth planning around. Several days of noticeable swelling under the chin is normal and it is a sign the treatment is doing what it should. Book it when you have a quiet week.

Is the result really permanent?

The treated fat cells are destroyed and do not regenerate. Significant weight gain can still change the area, because the remaining cells can enlarge — but the cells removed are gone.

Kybella or jawline filler?

They solve opposite problems. Kybella removes fullness under the chin; jawline filler adds definition along the edge. Some people need one, some need both, and the assessment sorts out which.
