Who Kybella Double Chin Treatment in Algonquin, IL is For

Good Candidates? Is This Right for You?

Concerns Kybella Addresses

Submental fullness, commonly called a double chin. The area beneath the chin is a natural place for the body to deposit fat, and fullness there can come from weight changes, the aging process, or genetics. Even people who live a healthy lifestyle and are at a normal weight can carry fat under the chin that does not respond to diet or exercise.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Adults, men and women alike, who are bothered by fullness beneath the chin and want a non-surgical option are typically good candidates. A consultation with our licensed injectors confirms candidacy, including any age requirements, and determines whether Kybella fits your anatomy and your goals; if a different treatment would serve you better, we will say so.

Safety Notes

Kybella at Catara is administered by licensed medical professionals with advanced training in facial aesthetics. Tell your provider about your medical history before treatment, including any history of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and expect some swelling, bruising, or tenderness under the chin for several days after each session. Treatment is rescheduled if you develop a cold, flu, infection, blemish, or rash in the area to be treated. Results may vary.

What Kybella Is and How It Works

Kybella at Catara Med Spa in Algonquin is a prescription, non-surgical injectable treatment for the area beneath the chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a substance that occurs naturally in the body, where it helps break down and absorb fat.

Placed into the submental fat by a trained aesthetic injector, deoxycholic acid disrupts the targeted fat cells. The body then processes and clears those cells from the treated area, which is how the contour under the chin gradually changes over a treatment series.
Where and How Kybella Is Used

Kybella is used in one specific area: the submental region, the pocket of fat directly beneath the chin. Every injection is placed into the submental fat itself by a skilled aesthetic injector.

Kybella is delivered as a series rather than a single visit. Most treatment plans involve 3 to 6 sessions spaced about a month apart, tailored to the amount of fullness being treated and your desired results. Each appointment runs about 45 minutes, with the injections themselves taking about 10 to 20 minutes.
What to Expect at Your Appointment

Consultations at Catara are where we truly get to know you. We listen to your concerns, assess the area beneath your chin, and work with you to determine an injection plan that fits your lifestyle and budget. You will have our full attention and be treated as a respected and valued guest at our office.

At your treatment visit, your aesthetic injector administers the planned amount of Kybella into the submental area, which takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Afterward we assess the treated area to confirm proper placement, answer any and every question you have, and go over the best ways to care for the area as it settles. Before you leave, we welcome you to schedule any follow-up sessions in your series.
When Results Appear and How Long They Last

Kybella results build gradually. In the weeks between sessions, the body processes and clears the treated fat cells, and the contour beneath the chin changes step by step across your series. We assess the treated area at each visit and tailor the remaining sessions to your response.

Treated fat cells are not expected to return once the body has cleared them, which is why Kybella results are considered long lasting. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your slimmer, more defined jawline over time. Results may vary from person to person.
Kybella vs Surgical Alternatives, and What It Pairs With

Kybella is a non-surgical approach to the area under the chin. Contouring happens through a series of injection sessions rather than an operation, so there are no incisions and no surgical recovery period, and you return to your routine between visits.

Kybella also works alongside other treatments. It is often combined with skin tightening, dermal fillers, or facials as part of a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan. Your injector will recommend the right combination for your goals at your consultation.
