Kybella

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.

WHAT IS KYBELLA?

It is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (known as Submental Fat). This is the area most people refer to as a “double chin.” 

HOW DOES KYBELLA WORK?

The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic Deoxycholic Acid. Deoxycholic Acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal. 

After injection, Kybella works over a period of several weeks to slowly destroy fat cells in the area, which will not return. Currently Kybella is not approved for injection in areas outside the Submental Fat beneath the chin.
