Endolift vs Kybella: Which One Truly Sculpts?
You've been staring at your reflection, wishing the little pocket of fat under your chin would disappear. You've heard hype about Kybella or a buzz about Endolift. Both are popular, both work wonders, but which one is right for you?
The good news is that at Beyond Health MedSpa in Miami, Florida, we don't just offer either-or solutions, we take it up a notch with our exclusive combo protocol, BeyondLifté, combining Endolift with PDO Threads for jaw-dropping results.
But first, let's break it down.
WHAT ARE WE COMPARING HERE?
Here’s the scoop. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells by using deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in your body. It’s designed to target and dissolve stubborn submental (under-chin) fat.
Endolift, on the other hand, utilizes an advanced optical laser fiber that not only melts fat but also tightens the skin while stimulating collagen production. It's a game-changer for anyone seeking contouring that not only reduces fat but also rejuvenates the skin.
Both treatments aim to tackle the dreaded double chin, but they take very different approaches in terms of how they work and what they offer.
How They Work — The Science!
Here’s where things get interesting.
Kybella relies on a series of injections to break down fat cells. After the injections, your body naturally clears the dissolved fat over several weeks.
Endolift takes it a step further with laser energy that simultaneously melts fat and tightens the skin. The process encourages the formation of new collagen, resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
Think of it this way:
Kybella = Dissolve and wait for results.
Endolift = Melt, sculpt, and tighten while results unfold.
Downtime, Discomfort, and That Awkward Puffy Phase
No sugarcoating here — both treatments have some downtime, but one is quicker and easier than the other.
Kybella can cause significant swelling that may leave you feeling like a chipmunk for 3-7 days. Some tenderness or burning in the injection areas can also occur.
Endolift involves mild warmth and slight redness or swelling, but overall, you're back to your daily life in 1-2 days without interruption.
The Skin-Tightening Secret Kybella Doesn’t Offer
Here's a little secret most people don't know about Kybella — while it effectively melts fat, it may leave you with loose skin, especially if you're over 35 or already dealing with skin laxity.
That's where Endolift steals the show. Endolift not only melts away fat but also simultaneously tightens the skin. This means you'll look more contoured, with no sagging or loose areas left behind.
Only at Beyond Health MedSpa you can experience the BeyondLifté™️ protocol, pairing Endolift with PDO Threads for a lift and hold effect that takes skin tightening and sculpting to the next level.
Who’s a Better Fit for What?
Not all jawlines are created equal, so your ideal treatment depends on your skin type, fat levels, and goals.
Kybella is most effective for younger clients with small, localized fat pockets and firm skin.
Endolift is an excellent choice for those with mild to moderate fat, visible sagging, or who want a solution that combines contouring with skin rejuvenation.

Results & Repeat Sessions — Patience vs. Power
When it comes to results, here’s what you can expect:
With Kybella, it takes 2–4 sessions (spaced weeks apart) to see the full effect, and the final contour may take around 8–12 weeks post-treatment.
Endolift, on the other hand, delivers immediate alongside gradual tightening over several months. Most patients only need one treatment.
Here in Miami, where glowing, youthful results are highly valued, Endolift’s faster and more visible results often make it the preferred option.
