A double chin can result from genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, or skin laxity. At Esthetic Clinic Dubai, we offer non-surgical double chin removal treatments designed to safely reduce localized chin fat, improve jawline definition, and restore facial balance—without surgery or long downtime.
This comprehensive guide explains Kybella and Belkyra, treatment costs in Dubai, the number of sessions, safety, before-and-after expectations, and how non-surgical options compare to surgery.
What Causes a Double Chin?
- Genetics — Some people are simply predisposed to storing extra fat under the chin or having a softer jawline, thanks to family traits. It can show up regardless of overall body weight.
- Aging — As we get older, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leading to sagging under the jaw. This laxity can create or worsen the appearance of a double chin, even without much added fat.
- Weight gain or fluctuations — Extra pounds often deposit fat evenly, including in the face and under the chin. Repeated weight changes can also leave skin looser over time.
- Poor posture — Slouching or constantly looking down (like at your phone) weakens the neck and chin muscles, which can contribute to sagging skin and a less defined jawline.
Kybella & Belkyra for Double Chin Reduction:
FDA-approved (and similarly approved elsewhere) injectable treatment specifically designed to target and reduce submental fat—the stubborn fullness under the chin, often called a double chin.
At its core, both names refer to the same product: a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces to help break down and absorb dietary fats.
How It Works
- The treatment involves a series of precise injections directly into the fat layer beneath the chin.
- Deoxycholic acid works by disrupting the cell membranes of fat cells (adipocytes), causing them to rupture and release their contents.
- Your body’s natural processes then kick in: immune cells clear away the destroyed fat cells and debris over the following weeks.
- The treated fat is permanently eliminated—once those fat cells are gone, they don’t come back, leading to a more contoured, defined jawline.
- Over time (usually after 2–4 sessions spaced about a month apart), the area appears smoother, firmer, and less full as swelling subsides and results build gradually.
This makes it a popular non-surgical option for moderate to severe submental fullness, especially when genetics, aging, or weight changes play a role. Results are long-lasting with a stable weight, though it’s not a weight-loss solution—it’s targeted contouring
Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment Procedure
The non-surgical double chin treatment with Kybella® (or Belkyra®) is a fast, in-clinic procedure to permanently dissolve under-chin fat.
Here’s the streamlined process:
- Consultation & Assessment We evaluate your chin/neck, discuss goals, and confirm it’s the right fit for you.
- Customized Plan We tailor the number of sessions (typically 2–4), dosage, and schedule (spaced 4–6 weeks apart) to your needs.
- Precise Injections The under-chin area is marked, numbed if needed, and deoxycholic acid is injected directly into the fat—usually 15–30 quick injections. The session takes 20–30 minutes total.
- Short Recovery Go back to your day right after. Expect temporary swelling/bruising (peaks in 2–3 days, fades in 1–2 weeks). Results appear gradually, with a sharper jawline emerging after the full series—once gone, the fat cells don’t return.
Cost of Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal in Dubai (Kybella® / Belkyra® injections)

How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Most patients see great results with 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Mild cases may need just 2 sessions
- Moderate to fuller chins often require 3–4
Visible improvement usually starts after the second session, with the jawline looking sharper and more defined as swelling settles and your body clears the destroyed fat. Full, natural-looking results appear 8–12 weeks after your final session.
What Results Can You Expect from Kybella® / Belkyra
- Less fullness under the chin
- Sharper jawline contour
- More defined facial profile
Changes appear gradually, with noticeable improvement often after the second session and optimal results in 2–3 months. Results are long-lasting since treated fat cells are permanently gone. Individual results vary.
