ABOUT             

If you have a double chin, you probably understand the difficulty in eliminating the unwanted fat from this region. Traditional weight loss efforts, such as exercise and dieting, can’t remove unwanted fat tissues from the region under the chin. Until recently, individuals wanting to eliminate excess submental fat tissues had to resort to liposuction and other surgical techniques. But Kybella has paved the way for non-invasive fat removal.

FAQs

  • Kybella removes moderate to severe pockets of unwanted fat underneath the chin by injecting the targeted area with a formulation made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into areas of unwanted submental fullness, deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells so they can no longer be stored. No incisions required!

  • Kybella has been FDA-approved since 2015 and is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified medical provider.

  • Typically, the downtime after a Kybella treatment is minimal after the first treatment and gets better after each subsequent treatment with less side effects occurring. You can return to your normal daily activities after your appointment. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, continues to break down fat deposits after your appointment without any pain or discomfort.
