What is Kybella?
A small amount of excess fat under the chin can cause the appearance of a “double chin,” a common concern for both men and women. This fat in the submental area (under the chin) may result from aging, genetics, or weight fluctuations, leading to a softer, less defined jawline and profile.
Beverly Farris, FNP-C, offers Kybella at AestheticFX Med Spa in Frisco, TX — the first FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment to reduce submental fat. Kybella contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a natural molecule that breaks down and absorbs fat. When injected beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells permanently, creating a slimmer neck and a sharper, more defined jawline for years to come.

Am I a Candidate for Kybella?
The ideal candidate for Kybella has excess fat beneath the chin causing unwanted fullness or a double chin. This treatment targets stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise, often due to genetics or aging. If you maintain a healthy, stable weight, Kybella might be the perfect solution for you.
For larger fat deposits, surgical neck liposuction may be a better choice, which we also offer at AestheticFX Med Spa.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella treatments are performed during a brief in-office visit. A numbing gel may be applied for comfort before small injections are administered into the targeted submental fat. Sessions typically last about 15 minutes. Depending on your goals, multiple treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart may be recommended.
