A Permanent Solution for Your Profile
Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to eliminate moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), often referred to as a “double chin”. It offers a non-surgical alternative to achieve a more defined and contoured jawline.
How the Treatment Works
The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. When injected under the chin, it permanently destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells cannot return.
What to Expect
- Duration: Each Kybella session typically takes only 15 to 20 minutes.
- Treatment Course: Most patients see optimal results after a series of two to four treatments, spaced at least one month apart.
- Downtime: While swelling and bruising at the injection site are common temporary side effects, downtime is minimal, and you can generally return to your daily activities immediately.
