Kybella™
Kybella helps improve the appearance of moderate to severe fullness associated with submental fat in adults. It has been widely studied and proven to be a safe and effective treatment for double chin. Dr. Wise customizes Kybella injections to your aesthetic goals for an improved chin profile.
What is Kybella?
Submental fullness due to submental fat, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” is a common yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. Submental fullness can impact a broad range of adults, including both women and men, and can be influenced by several factors such as aging, genetics, and weight gain. It’s often resistant to diet and exercise alone and can detract from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance – leading to an older and heavier look.
To help with this concern, Dr. Wise uses Kybella™.
He is a Diamond Injector of Kybella and is one of only a few doctors in the Wayne, New Jersey area that is currently using the product. As a clinically proven treatment, a Kybella injection, also known as ATX-101, is the first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and helps improve the appearance of submental fullness due to submental fat. It’s a non-human and non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

FAQ
How common is submental fullness?
According to a survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), more than two-thirds of consumers are bothered by submental fullness — nearly as many as those bothered by lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Can Kybella be used to eliminate fat in other areas of the body? Is it a potential treatment for obesity or an alternative to liposuction?
Kybella is only used for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults. The safe and effective use of Kybella for the treatment of subcutaneous fat outside the submental region has not been established and is not recommended.
Has Kybella been tested?
It has been the focus of a global clinical development program involving over 20 clinical studies with more than 2,600 patients worldwide, of which over 1,600 have been treated with Kybella. In the pooled, pivotal Phase III clinical trials, 68.2 percent of patients responded to Kybella, compared to 20.5 percent of patients who responded to placebo, based on validated physician and patient measurements.
What is the recommended dosage for Kybella?
Treatment with Kybella is customized by Dr. Wise to the patient’s aesthetic goals for an improved chin profile. It’s administered by injections into the fat under the chin. In clinical trials, the average dose is approximately 4 to 6 mL delivered in 0.2 mL injections spaced approximately 1 cm apart per treatment session.
How many injections/treatments does a patient need?
The number of injections and the number of treatments should be tailored to the individual patient’s submental fat distribution and treatment goals. Many patients experience visible results in two to four treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart. Up to six treatments may be administered — 59% of patients receive all six treatments.
