This was my first visit to Jax Dermatology and I was impressed by the professionalism at the front desk, the knowledge and expertise of the staff and the kindness extended to me during treatment. I arrived very early to my appointment to give me time to fill out paperwork and was more than willing to come back for the actual appointment, however, staff got me in early and there was no "wait" involved I want to thank the staff for such prompt and courteous service.

My second visit on July 2, 2025, was equally satisfying. I was taken into the exam room within 5 minutes of arriving. The services of Dr. Stepien were accomplished with ease and perfect professionalism. I appreciate a practice that values their patients and does their absolute best to provide the services with such knowledge and expert handling. I will continue with Jax Dermatology for all future needs.

I visited again in April 2026 and had a great experience. The PA who did my filler was extremely informative and did great work on my face. I appreciate the professionalism shown by the folks at Jacksonville Dermatology.

💉 What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment composed of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells, which are then metabolized and flushed out by your body over the following weeks. Once these fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good—meaning your results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.

💡 How Does Kybella Work?

The treatment involves a series of precisely placed injections under the chin, administered by our board-certified dermatologists and cosmetic experts. Here’s what you can expect:

Step-by-Step:

  1. Consultation:
    • We evaluate your chin profile and discuss your aesthetic goals to ensure that Kybella is the right fit for you.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan:
    • Most patients require 2–4 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Some individuals may require up to 6 sessions, depending on the amount of fat to be treated.
  3. Injections:
    • The procedure takes about 15–20 minutes. A topical numbing agent is used for your comfort.
  4. Recovery:
    • Mild swelling, bruising, and numbness are common and usually subside within a few days.
