Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that breaks down fat. When injected into the area beneath the chin, Kybella targets and eliminates fat cells, leading to a more sculpted and defined jawline. This non-surgical solution is perfect for those who struggle with excess fat under the chin and want to avoid the risks and downtime associated with traditional procedures.
Kybella works by using deoxycholic acid to target and destroy fat cells beneath the chin. Once injected, the acid breaks down the fat, which is then naturally eliminated by the body over time. The treatment is quick, with most people experiencing little discomfort, as the procedure is minimally invasive. After a few sessions, patients notice a reduction in submental fat, revealing a more youthful, contoured appearance. Most patients see significant improvements after 2 to 4 treatments, spaced about a month apart.
