Reduce fat beneath the chin with this breakthrough treatment.
Kybella is a non-invasive, FDA-approved injectable that reduces the appearance of fat under the chin with no surgery and minimal downtime.
Refine Anti-Aging Medicine and Aesthetics in Oakland, CA, now offers Kybella treatments. Kybella offers a non-surgical solution for those seeking to reduce chin fat, helping you achieve a more defined jawline. This FDA-approved injectable targets and breaks down fat cells beneath the chin, allowing your body to naturally eliminate them over time. No need for incisions or downtime: just gradual, noticeable results that enhance your natural beauty.
Kybella is an innovative, non-invasive, FDA-approved injectable treatment which improves the appearance of fat beneath the chin without surgery. "Submental fullness" due to fat beneath the chin can be caused by genetics, weight gain, or aging.
Diet and exercise may not reduce this fullness, but Kybella injected into the fat beneath the chin, destroys your fat cells. Once destroyed, these affected cells cannot store or accumulate fat any longer. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Deoxycholic acid is the active ingredient in Kybella. Once the fat is destroyed, it is processed through our body’s natural metabolism.




With Kybella, excess submental fat melts away.
Reduce fat beneath the chin without surgery, liposuction, or downtime.

Because of the excellent biocompatibility and easy procedure, this treatment is a fantastic option for anyone who wants to refine their look. Kybella may be right for you if:
During your initial consultation, we will assess the area and determine if you are a good candidate and how many treatments are recommended for optimal results.
Then, together you will consider your options and craft a customized treatment plan that pursues your goals and takes your personality and lifestyle into consideration. Detailed preparation instructions will be provided.

During the procedure at Refine Anti-Aging and Aesthetics in Oakland Kybella patients can relax in our luxurious treatment rooms. The treatment area will be iced for about five minutes before the injections. After icing, the area is cleaned, marked, and treated. The entire in-office procedure typically takes less than 15 minutes. You may experience some mild discomfort at the injection sites, but the procedure is entirely tolerable.
After your treatment, you may see some swelling, redness, or bruising for 2-3 days. OTC pain medications and icing will be recommended to lessen discomfort. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. Results typically appear around six weeks, and the treated area will gradually show improvement for 2-3 months. The removed fat is permanently eliminated, but keep in mind that Kybella can't prevent new fat from being deposited. A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are crucial to maintaining your desired results for as long as possible.
At Refine Anti-Aging, our goal is to provide each patient with effective, high-quality options for their aesthetic needs. We want to give you incredible results and a pleasing, comfortable experience.
