My exam was thorough and professional. Zach completed 3 procedures with no discomfort at all, making sure sites were totally numb before he proceeded. I recommend Jax Dermatology and Cosmetic Sugery.

Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
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 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.

💲 How Much Does Kybella Cost in Jacksonville, FL?

At JDC, Kybella treatments are competitively priced based on:

  • Number of vials per session
  • Total number of sessions needed

💡 On average, most patients spend $600–$1,200 per session.
