Kybella Double Chin Reduction for Men in Rancho Cucamonga
Our experienced providers can help slim your jawline and highlight your masculine features with a few expertly placed injections of Kybella.
As the first FDA-cleared, minimally invasive treatment for excess fat under the chin, Kybella® has become a popular option for men hoping to look a bit sharper. A double chin, also known as “submental fullness,” is a common problem that many feel self-conscious about—in fact, according to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, a whopping 68% of consumers are bothered by this problem area.
Toning the jawline is notoriously tricky, particularly since it’s not always just a matter of being overweight. The natural toll of aging, weight fluctuation over the years, and even your genes can all determine whether or not you’ll have a double chin or a naturally sleek jaw. But now, thanks to Allergan’s Kybella double chin treatment, you don’t have to just accept it.
Why we love Kybella at our Rancho Cucamonga med spa
Kybella offers a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or neck contouring. It is administered by injection directly into the fat below the chin over the course of a few treatment sessions, reducing bulk and helping you to look younger, healthier, and more chiseled.
Kybella is formulated with a synthesized deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance that assists your body in fat absorption. After a series of Kybella treatments, the fat under your chin is melted, absorbed, and naturally flushed out of your body as waste—and because the targeted fat cells are actually destroyed, Kybella offers a long-lasting solution.

What are Kybella injections like?
Like other injectable treatments, Kybella is considered a minimally invasive option. During your treatment, we will strategically mark the areas under your chin that have pockets of excess fat so we can properly place injections for an optimal result.
To help reduce discomfort, the skin will be numbed prior to treatment. Our patients report that the injections feel like a little pinch; there is some pain, but it’s tolerable. After injections, it’s normal to experience some swelling, slight bruising, and a bit of numbness in the treated area, but these effects should be mild and resolve in a few days.
Kybella is performed right in our comfortable office, without the need for anesthesia. You can resume most normal activities as soon as you leave, though it’s important to take care of the injected area.
You’ll need multiple treatment sessions to see optimal results, and most patients are happy with the outcome after two to six treatments, typically performed about a month apart. Each treatment takes around 15-20 minutes. Results will start to take shape within a few weeks as your body naturally processes and removes the targeted fat cells.
