If you’re interested in a nonsurgical way to reduce fullness beneath your chin, KYBELLA® may be right for you. KYBELLA®  is a first-of-its-kind injectable treatment for adults with submental fullness that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile.

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.

 

HOW DO THE KYBELLA INJECTIONS WORK?

Kybella is the answer to double-chin and neck fat, also known as submental fullness, which is caused by localized fat deposition. This injectable solution may be an alternative to liposuction and neck lift surgery for mild to moderate cases of submental fullness. This cosmetic injectable is based on a natural substance made by the body, deoxycholic acid. This is an organic compound that the body uses to break down dietary fat. This targeted use of deoxycholic acid proves a powerful adversary to eliminate localized deposits of fatty tissue.
Kybella works by injecting deoxycholic acid into a small treatment area, the middle portion of the upper neck, to destroy fat cells. When deoxycholic acid is absorbed by fat cells, it liquefies the fat which is then metabolized by the body and excreted naturally over time. Bye-bye double chin!
