Introducing Kybella and PCDC
Kybella by Allergan is the first treatment that’s FDA-approved to reduce moderate to severe fat under the chin known as submental fullness or a double chin. The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a substance that is naturally produced by the body and helps assist in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected under the chin, Kybella breaks down fat cells, which the body eliminates through the natural metabolic processes. Once destroyed, the fat cells are gone for good, reducing the fullness under the chin and delivering a more contoured, sculpted jawline.
PCDC, on the other hand, is a generic form of Kybella. The compounded solution includes a mix of phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate, a bile salt that helps remove waste from the body. PCDC works similarly to Kybella by breaking down fat cells, but it also promotes the production of new collagen, which can help tighten the skin around the treated areas. Unlike Kybella, which is used solely to treat fat under the chin, PCDC is versatile and can address various areas of the body where fat deposits accumulate, like the double chin, abdomen, back area, waist, thighs, hips, and love handles.
What Can You Expect During Treatment?
Our skilled Nurse Practitioners will evaluate your unique needs and tailor your treatment to deliver your desired results. The entire Kybella or PCDC process usually takes less than an hour to complete.
Your skilled provider will numb the area using a local anesthetic for your comfort. Next is administering Kybella or PCDC through an ultra-fine needle to eliminate unwanted fat and enhance your contours. You’ll need little to no downtime, meaning you can resume your daily activities right away.
What Are the Expected Results?
It may take some time for you to see your desired results after your series of Kybella or PCDC injections as the fat cells break down and are eliminated by the body. Initial results may take 4-6 weeks, with the full results apparent in about three months. Most individuals see a significant reduction in fat in the treatment areas.
The number of Kybella or PCDC sessions you need will depend on the treatment area, with many individuals experiencing visible results in 2-4 sessions and some requiring up to six sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Keep in mind that even though our cosmetic injectables produce permanent fat reduction in the treated areas, weight gain can interfere with your sculpted contours. That’s because while many fat cells in the treatment area are destroyed, some remain. Weight gain can cause the remaining fat cells to expand. Maintaining a healthy weight will help you continue enjoying your dramatic treatment results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella & PCDC
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness or a double chin. Its active ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which helps break down fat cells in the treated area.
What is PCDC?
PCDC is a compounded injectable treatment containing phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate that may be used for localized areas of unwanted fat. Unlike Kybella, PCDC is not FDA-approved as a drug for cosmetic fat reduction. Its use is considered off-label/compounded and should be discussed with a qualified medical provider.
What is the difference between Kybella and PCDC?
Kybella is an FDA-approved prescription medication specifically indicated for improving moderate to severe fat beneath the chin in adults. PCDC is a compounded injectable formulation that may be used by qualified medical providers for selected localized areas of unwanted fat. During your consultation, your SkinSational Aesthetics provider can discuss the differences and determine whether either option is appropriate for you.
Does Kybella permanently get rid of double-chin fat?
Kybella destroys treated fat cells beneath the chin. Once those cells are destroyed and cleared by the body, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. However, maintaining a relatively stable weight is important because remaining fat cells can still enlarge with future weight gain.
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies based on the amount of submental fullness, your anatomy, and your desired result. Some patients require multiple sessions. Kybella's prescribing information allows for up to six treatments, spaced at least one month apart.
How long does it take to see Kybella results?
Kybella results develop gradually as the body clears the treated fat cells. Changes are not immediate and may become more noticeable over the weeks following treatment. Some patients require a series of treatments to achieve their desired outcome.
How long do Kybella results last?
The fat cells destroyed by Kybella can no longer store fat, so retreatment may not be necessary once a patient's desired aesthetic result has been achieved. Significant future weight changes, aging, and other changes to facial anatomy can still affect the appearance of the chin and jawline.
Does Kybella hurt?
Patients may experience temporary stinging, tenderness, pressure, or discomfort during and after Kybella injections. Your provider can discuss measures used to make treatment as comfortable as possible.
How much swelling should I expect after Kybella?
Swelling beneath the chin is one of the most common effects after Kybella and can sometimes be significant, particularly after an initial treatment. Bruising, tenderness, redness, numbness, or firmness can also occur. Your provider will discuss what to expect and when to contact the office if you experience concerning symptoms.
How long does Kybella swelling last?
The amount and duration of swelling varies from patient to patient. Swelling is generally most noticeable shortly after treatment and gradually improves. If you have an important event approaching, discuss timing with your provider before scheduling treatment.
Is there downtime after Kybella?
Kybella is nonsurgical, but that does not necessarily mean there is no visible downtime. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, redness, or firmness can occur after treatment. Many patients can continue normal activities, but you may want to allow time for visible swelling to improve.
Can Kybella define my jawline?
For appropriate patients, reducing excess fat beneath the chin can create a more defined transition between the chin, neck, and jawline. However, Kybella does not directly build or reshape the jaw itself. Your provider can evaluate whether submental fat, skin laxity, chin projection, or another anatomical factor is contributing to your concerns.
Is Kybella the same as liposuction?
No. Kybella is an injectable, nonsurgical treatment for submental fat, while liposuction is a surgical procedure that physically removes fat. Each option has different benefits, limitations, recovery considerations, and ideal candidates.
Is Kybella good for a double chin?
Kybella is specifically FDA-approved to improve the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults. A consultation is important because not every double chin is caused primarily by excess fat; skin laxity, anatomy, muscle structure, or chin projection may also contribute.
Can Kybella be used on the stomach or body?
Kybella's FDA-approved indication is for submental fat beneath the chin. Its safety and effectiveness for treatment outside the submental area have not been established in the FDA-approved labeling. If you're interested in treating localized body fat, your provider can discuss available options and whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
What areas can PCDC injections treat?
Depending on the individual patient and provider assessment, compounded PCDC may be considered for selected localized areas of unwanted fat. Because PCDC is not an FDA-approved cosmetic fat-reduction drug, treatment areas, risks, expected outcomes, and alternatives should be reviewed individually during your consultation.
Are fat-dissolving injections good for weight loss?
No. Kybella and localized fat-dissolving injections are not weight-loss treatments. They are intended to address specific areas of localized fat in appropriately selected patients. Patients looking for overall weight management should discuss dedicated medical weight-management options with their provider.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella?
Kybella may be appropriate for adults bothered by moderate to severe fat beneath the chin who prefer a nonsurgical treatment. Your provider will evaluate your anatomy, medical history, medications, previous procedures, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine whether Kybella is appropriate.
Who should not get Kybella?
Kybella should not be administered when there is an infection at the injection site. Other medical conditions, medications, previous procedures, swallowing difficulties, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and individual anatomical considerations should be discussed with your medical provider before treatment.
What are the risks and side effects of Kybella?
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of firmness. More serious complications can occur, including nerve injury that may cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, injection-site complications, and tissue injury if the product is injected improperly. Your provider will review risks before treatment.
