Double Chin Solutions in Columbia, SC: Kybella® vs. CryoSculpt vs. Fillers & Threads
Sharper jawline, natural results, minimal downtime. If a soft, full, or undefined chin area keeps showing up in photos or video calls, you have options—without surgery. At New Vision Med Spa (NVMS) in Columbia, SC, we personalize double‑chin treatments using Kybella® (deoxycholic acid), CryoSculpt (ExoFreeze 2.0 CryoSlimming), Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), and strategic dermal fillers or PDO thread lifts to contour the jawline. This guide explains how each works, who it’s best for, what results to expect, and how we combine modalities for a refined, balanced profile.
Why the “Double Chin” Happens
A fuller submental area can be caused by genetics, fat distribution, skin laxity, posture and muscle tone, or hormonal and weight changes. That’s why the most effective plans consider volume, skin quality, and facial balance—not just fat reduction. At NVMS, we evaluate your anatomy with photos and may use Styku 3D Body Scan to track circumferential change as part of a holistic plan.
Option 1: Kybella® (Deoxycholic Acid)
What it is: An FDA‑approved injectable that breaks down fat cells under the chin.
Best for: Pinchable fat beneath the chin when skin quality is decent and you’re comfortable with gradual change across 2–4+ sessions.
What to expect:
-
Each session takes ~15–30 minutes.
-
Swelling (often significant the first time) lasts several days.
-
Results build as your body clears the treated fat over 6–12 weeks.
Why clients choose it: No surgery, permanent fat cell destruction in treated areas, and precise targeting of submental fullness.
Good to know: Kybella does not tighten skin; if laxity is present, we may pair with PDO threads or other skin‑supportive strategies.
Option 2: CryoSculpt (ExoFreeze 2.0 CryoSlimming)
What it is: A controlled‑cooling modality that reduces pinchable fat non‑invasively.
Best for: Clients who prefer a device‑based approach and want minimal downtime, often pairing with EMS for definition.
What to expect:
-
Sessions are comfortable with temporary numbness or redness.
-
Fat reduction appears gradually over 4–12 weeks.
-
Useful for fine‑tuning jawline, small pockets under the chin, and along the submental triangle.
Why clients choose it: No needles, low discomfort, and easy return to daily life.
Option 3: EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
What it is: High‑intensity contractions that strengthen and tone target muscle groups.
Best for: Clients looking to define the lower face/neck complex by improving underlying tone, especially when combined with fat‑reduction options.
What to expect:
-
Series‑based sessions (e.g., weekly) to build tone.
-
Feels like intense contractions—no downtime.
Why clients choose it: Complements fat reduction by adding definition for a crisper jawline.
Option 4: Dermal Fillers (Jawline/Chin) & PDO Threads
Dermal Fillers: Restore chin projection and jawline structure, which can visually slim the submental area. Great when bone support is limited or the chin is retrusive.
PDO Thread Lift: Provides a subtle lift and can tighten early laxity along the jowl line and jaw border. Threads do not remove fat, but they reposition tissue and stimulate collagen for a cleaner contour.
Best for: Clients whose main concern is structure or laxity, not just fat.
Comparison at a Glance
Pro Tip: The most elegant jawlines usually come from a blend—e.g., Kybella® to debulk, filler to balance chin projection, and threads for crispness.

Who’s a Candidate?
You’re likely a candidate if you have pinchable submental fat, early skin laxity, or structural concerns (chin projection). We may recommend an alternative if you’re pregnant, have an active skin infection, or have certain medical conditions. Our team will review your history to keep care safe and effective.
Realistic Results & Timelines
-
Kybella®: Noticeable change typically 6–12 weeks after each session; expect visible swelling for several days post‑treatment.
-
CryoSculpt: Gradual changes 4–12 weeks after each session; very minimal downtime.
-
EMS: Tone benefits build week‑to‑week in a series, then maintain.
-
Fillers/Threads: Immediate contour change; collagen stimulation with threads improves 6–12 weeks.
Results vary with genetics, skin quality, and adherence to the plan. We’ll outline expectations clearly and photograph progress.
Smart Pairings
-
Kybella® + Chin/Jawline Filler: Debulk + define for proportional balance.
-
CryoSculpt + EMS: Reduce + tone for a crisp border.
-
Threads + Filler: Lift + structure to sharpen the jawline.
-
Weight‑Loss Support: If part of a broader journey, pair your plan with Semaglutide/Tirzepatide, nutrition coaching, or vitamin injections for inside‑out progress.
Safety & Aftercare Essentials
-
Follow guidance on ice/lymphatic support post‑Kybella® swelling.
-
Avoid vigorous workouts, saunas, or heavy pressure on the area right after treatment (timelines vary by modality).
-
Use broad‑spectrum SPF daily and support healthy skin with a simple regimen.
-
Plan around events—especially for Kybella® swelling windows.

FAQs: Double Chin Treatments at NVMS
Is Kybella® permanent?
The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and cleared by the body; remaining cells can still expand with weight gain.
How many Kybella® vials will I need?
Depends on submental fullness and goals—often 1–2 vials per session across 2–4+ sessions.
Can laser or IPL tighten my jawline?
Those devices target pigment and redness—not submental fat. For laxity, consider PDO threads; for fat, Kybella® or CryoSculpt.
Will EMS replace fat reduction?
EMS tones; it doesn’t remove fat. It’s a great add‑on once volume is reduced.
What if my chin is “small”?
A dermal filler can increase chin projection, improving profile balance even without major fat reduction.
