Frequently Asked Questions
What is fat-dissolving treatment?
Fat-dissolving treatment uses deoxycholic acid to break down and eliminate targeted fat cells. At GFaceMD, we use Kybella® — the only FDA-approved injectable fat-dissolving treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.
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 options for non-surgical fat reduction in the jawline area. Most patients notice visible improvement after 2–4 fat-dissolving treatment sessions.
How many Kybella® sessions will I need?
Most patients require 2–4 fat-dissolving treatment sessions, depending on the treatment area, amount of fullness, and individual goals. Sessions are typically spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
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 injectable fat-dissolving treatment.
How far do patients travel for fat-dissolving treatment in Wellesley?
Patients regularly visit from Needham, Weston, Dover, Natick, Newton, and Framingham — typically a 10–20 minute drive.
