After researching reviews and viewing impressive before-and-after photos, I selected Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery for cosmetic facial blemish removal, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision.

The entire team’s bedside manner was outstanding, striking an ideal balance of professionalism and compassion that made me feel truly valued as a patient. Their evident pride in their work and genuine enthusiasm for what they do greatly enhanced my experience. Thank you, Dr. Stepien, and the entire team, for your exceptional care.

Great stuff and doctor Stephien! She did great job and really takes time to review all I needed from her!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Four stars for the front office. If you want the traditional front office experience and to not rely on electronic scheduling, you might have issues. They don't always answer the phone and the staff can be a little rude. The electronic scheduling works great though.

The doctors and medical staff are amazing. Dr. Stepien removed a suspected skin cancer spot from my leg. Excellent bedside manner, did a great job with the surgery. The wound healed great and was back to running and such (incision was on my leg above the knee) within a couple days. The medical care is really what matters to me, and if you are like minded this is a great practice.
Response from the owner:We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
From the time I walked in from the girls at the front desk until I went back with the doctor and the intern it was a very good experience, answered all my questions. I definitely recommend this office. Dr Stepien even asked about certain spots and just didn’t rush through it, like the previous practice I had been to in the past. I look forward to this being my dermatology office for addressing any issues I have and for good skin care.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

Response from the owner:Thank you, we are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
I got an appointment very quickly. Everyone was very nice and very professional. Zach was excellent and did a great job. He explained everything and listened to me. Everyone was great from the front desk staff to the MA and Zach the PA.
Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

🧪 What Is Kybella and How Does It Work?

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable designed to reduce moderate to severe fat below the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down dietary fat.

When Kybella is injected directly into the fat beneath the chin, it permanently destroys fat cells, resulting in a visibly slimmer and more contoured jawline.

Once the fat cells are gone, they cannot store fat again—making the results long-lasting.

📍 Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

You’re likely a good candidate if you:

  • Have persistent submental fat (double chin) that doesn’t go away with diet or exercise
  • Prefer a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
  • Are over 18 and in generally good health
  • Want natural-looking results over time

🔍 At Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, your Kybella consultation includes a personalized facial analysis by a board-certified provider to ensure the treatment is right for you.

📆 What to Expect During and After the Procedure

💉 During Treatment:

  • A topical numbing agent is applied
  • Small injections are made under the chin in a precise grid pattern
  • The session takes around 20–30 minutes

After Treatment:

  • Swelling is normal and can last 3–7 days (this is the product working)
  • Mild bruising, numbness, or redness may occur
  • Most patients return to normal activities the next day

🔁 How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Kybella is customized to your anatomy and goals.

  • Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions
  • Each session is spaced 4–6 weeks apart
  • Visible results typically appear after the second treatment

The number of vials and sessions will be determined during your consultation based on your chin profile.
