What is Kybella?
Kybella is the first and only non-surgical injection approved by the FDA that is able to dissolve excess submental fat under the chin. The injection treatment is used to dissolve excess fat in the area known as the "double-chin" using deoxycholic acid to target fat cells with no incisions.
How Does Kybella Work?
The active ingredient, 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.
