Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. This non-surgical solution contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs fat cells, leading to a more contoured jawline and profile.
Schedule a ConversationKybella targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Once these cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat again, providing a long-lasting reduction in submental fat. The treatment involves a series of small injections that dissolve the fat over time, resulting in a slimmer and more defined appearance.
Achieve a contoured jawline without surgery.
Once destroyed, fat cells do not return.
Brief treatment sessions with minimal downtime.
While Kybella primarily targets submental fat, it can also be used off-label for other areas with small pockets of unwanted fat, such as:
Enhance the contour of the jawline.
Reduce fat deposits around the jowls for a more defined lower face.
Address small pockets of fat near the armpits (bra bulge).
