Frequently Asked Questions
What is fat-dissolving treatment?
Fat-dissolving treatments use deoxycholic acid to break down and eliminate targeted fat cells. At GFaceMD, we use Kybella® — the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for non-surgical fat reduction. It works by destroying the cell membrane of targeted fat cells, which are then naturally cleared by your body’s lymphatic system over several weeks after treatment.
Is fat-dissolving the same as Kybella®?
At GFaceMD, we use Kybella®, the FDA-approved fat-dissolving injection. It uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule your body already produces to digest dietary fat, to permanently reduce unwanted fat in the treatment area. This distinguishes Kybella® from cosmetic or non-medical fat-dissolving products.
Does Kybella® work for a double chin?
Yes. Kybella® is FDA-approved specifically for reducing submental (double chin) fat and is one of the most effective non-surgical options for improving jawline definition. Most patients notice visible improvement after 2–4 treatment sessions. GFaceMD providers assess the degree of submental fullness and skin laxity at consultation to determine whether Kybella® is the right approach for your anatomy.
How many Kybella® sessions will I need?
Most patients require 2–4 treatments, depending on the treatment area, amount of fullness, and individual goals. Sessions are typically spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow full swelling to resolve and fat cell reduction to be assessed before the next treatment. Your provider will outline a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Once fat cells are treated and destroyed by deoxycholic acid, they do not return. The body’s lymphatic system clears the eliminated fat cells over several weeks after treatment. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results, while treated fat cells are permanently gone, remaining fat cells in surrounding areas can still expand with significant weight gain.
How far do patients travel for treatments in Mashpee and Cape Cod?
Patients regularly visit from Falmouth, Barnstable, Hyannis, and Sandwich, typically traveling 15–25 minutes. Many choose GFaceMD for its advanced treatment options and medical expertise not widely available across Cape Cod.
