KYBELLA
in Raleigh, NC (Double Chin Treatment)
(Deoxycholic acid/Phosphatidylcholine)
Kybella has been known as "liquid lipo" and works miracles on double chins. Kybella is an FDA-approved man-made form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring material that helps the body absorb fat. We do our Kybella differently from most med spas in that our treatments are virtually painless and we achieve our results in 2 treatments.
If you feel like your profile looks “soft” in photos or you’ve noticed fullness under the chin that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, Kybella may be a great option. At Blossüm Aesthetics in Raleigh, North Carolina, we offer personalized Kybella treatment plans to help reduce submental fullness (double chin fat) and enhance the appearance of the jawline—without surgery.

What Is Kybella?
PERMANENT FAT LOSS
Kybella® is an injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that helps the body break down and absorb dietary fat. Kybella is FDA-approved for improving the appearance of moderate to severe fat below the chin(submental fullness).
Once fat cells are destroyed, they can’t store fat the same way again—making Kybella a popular choice for patients who want a non-surgical double chin treatment in Raleigh, NC.
What Areas Can Kybella Treat?
Kybella is best known for the double chin, but depending on your anatomy and provider assessment, it may also be used in select cases for:Under-chin fullness (submental fat)Upper neck “pocket” fullnessJawline contour support (appearance-focused)A consultation is essential to confirm candidacy and choose the right plan.
Kybella vs. “Liquid Lipo” vs. Liposuction

That depends on your anatomy and how much submental fullness you’re treating. Many patients need a series. We’ll recommend a plan after assessing your chin/neck structure.
