Sculpt a defined profile — without surgery
The fullness beneath the chin resists even the most dedicated diet and exercise. Kybella® is a beautifully simple alternative to surgery — small, carefully placed injections that gradually refine the contour of your chin and jawline, performed under the oversight of Ashley Sutton, FNP‑MSN.
Your body's own fat-dissolver, refined
Kybella's active ingredient is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid — a molecule your body naturally uses to break down dietary fat. Delivered through a series of small injections, it works gradually over the weeks following each session to refine and define the contour of your chin and jawline. Most clients receive a personalized series spaced about a month apart; your provider designs the right plan at your consultation.
Your journey to a more defined profile
Your provider assesses the area beneath your chin, listens to your goals, and confirms whether Kybella is right for you.
Every chin and jawline is unique — a tailored series, typically spaced about a month apart, so results build gradually and naturally.
The area is cleansed and gently marked, with topical numbing or ice for comfort. The injections themselves take just 15–20 minutes.
Some swelling is normal — a sign the process is underway. Clear aftercare guidance and support through every follow-up as your profile refines.
Treatment with a view
After your treatment, enjoy a tea or drink while you look out at the river, and view the art on display throughout the building. Unsure whether Kybella is right for you? Come in for a consultation — in the serene comfort of our riverside retreat overlooking the Animas.
Deoxycholic acid — the molecule your body already makes
Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, the bile acid your body uses to break down dietary fat. Injected in a precise grid beneath the chin, it disrupts the membrane of fat cells in the submental pocket so they can no longer store fat.
Those cells are cleared by the body over the following weeks and do not come back. That is what separates Kybella from a filler or a temporary contouring device — the result is structural, not borrowed.
Most patients need two to four sessions spaced about six weeks apart. Your injector maps the treatment area at consultation and tells you honestly how many you are likely to need.
Swelling is the treatment working
Expect noticeable swelling under the chin for the first three to five days — it is the inflammatory response that clears the treated fat, and it is a sign the product did its job. Numbness or firmness in the area can linger a few weeks.
Plan your first session at least two weeks ahead of anything photographed. Many patients schedule the second and third rounds through the winter so results arrive by spring.
Kybella is not for everyone. If the fullness under your chin is loose skin rather than fat, or if a lax platysma is the real cause, we will tell you at consultation and point you toward the treatment that actually fits.
Questions, answered honestly
Most clients need a series of sessions spaced about a month apart — your provider designs the number around the amount of fullness and your goals at your consultation.
The injections take 15–20 minutes with topical numbing or ice for comfort. Expect some swelling and tenderness afterward — a sign the treatment is working.
Yes — once destroyed, the treated fat cells can no longer store fat, so results are considered lasting with a stable weight.
Results develop gradually over the weeks following each session as your body clears the treated fat — with the full profile refinement visible after your series completes.
The chin profile is its FDA-approved home and where it shines. Some providers use it off-label on small pockets elsewhere — ask at your consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether it's the right tool or another treatment fits better.
What to expect
Come a few minutes early, settle in, and share your goals — every Kybella visit starts with a short, unhurried check-in so the session fits you, not a template.
Your provider tailors the work to your body and comfort as you go — speak up anytime; adjusting is part of the craft.
You leave with honest aftercare guidance — what to expect tonight, and how to keep the benefit building between visits.
One roof, every discipline
Clinical services run under the direction of Ashley Sutton, FNP-MSN — spa comfort with medical standards behind it.
Day spa, medspa, Western medicine, and Eastern medicine under one roof — your plan can draw from all four.
Every visit ends riverside — linger in the River Room or on the rooftop instead of rushing back to the car.
