Kybella®

At Capizzi MD in Charlotte, NC, we offer Kybella®—an FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently reduces submental fat to eliminate the appearance of a double chin. This quick, non-surgical procedure targets fat cells beneath the jawline to reveal a more sculpted, youthful profile—with no downtime required. Whether you’re frustrated by stubborn fullness or seeking sharper definition, our expert team delivers safe, customized results that restore confidence from every angle.

HOW DOES KYBELLA® WORK?

Kybella® is one of the newest and most exciting FDA-approved injectables in the field of preventative aging. It was developed to target and eliminate the infuriating neck fat responsible for “double-chins.” A double-chin can add years to one’s perceived age, as well as make a person appear heavier. This effect results in lowered self-esteem and feelings of frustration.

Kybella® was developed as a safe, non-surgical alternative to procedures like liposuction or neck lifts. The upper neck area below the jaw can be especially resistant to dieting and exercise. Yet, this simple cosmetic procedure can reverse fat deposits within a matter of days. With Kybella®, patients need no incisions or general anesthesia, and recovery is immediate. A client can come to the office at lunchtime, and return to work for the afternoon.

The Science of Kybella®

The critical ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid. This is a fat-metabolizing agent that occurs naturally in the human body. When injected, the deoxycholic acid pierces the fat cell membrane, causing membrane death. The fat cells metabolize naturally after the procedure. This creates a more slender, sculpted profile with greater definition. Kybella®®’s results are usually visible in 10-14 days. This treatment will continue to improve chin and neck contours for up to 6 months.

Choosing Capizzi MD

Administering an injection may seem simple compared to other cosmetic procedures. But, it actually requires a high degree of precision and experience to produce a natural, pleasing outcome. Additionally, the neck is a vulnerable area of the body with many arteries and muscles. As a board-certified physician, Dr. Capizzi is qualified to address the anatomical complexities of the neck. Dr. Capizzi’s accomplished team of injection specialists have a reputation as some of the best in the region. They have been recognized by Allergan with the prestigious Platinum Plus Award for outstanding patient outcomes and overall client care.

Dr. Capizzi leads a team of exceptional nurse injectors who administer all Kybella treatments at our office.

Your complete satisfaction with your results is our primary objective. In some cases where loose skin is a problem, your injector may consult with Dr. Capizzi to offer facelift or necklift services to address the sagging or excess folds.

The Kybella® Procedure

Kybella® works best when administered as a series of injections over the course of several months. The number of injections required will vary based on the amount of fat present. With each treatment, you will see dramatic improvements in the chin and neck profile.

Patients typically undergo 2-6 injections, with each appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. As long as the client maintains a healthy diet and exercise routine, the changes are permanent.

The nurse injector will customize his approach to deliver the perfect amount of the injectable to target sites. This produces a flawless outcome that will delight and exceed expectations.
