Kybella is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce fat beneath the chin (submental fullness), commonly referred to as a “double chin.” By targeting and permanently destroying fat cells, Kybella helps create a more contoured and defined jawline without the need for surgery.
What is Kybella?
Kybella uses a naturally occurring bio-acid (deoxycholic acid) to destroy problem fat cells beneath the chin. When injected, your body begins the process of naturally eliminating this excess fat, gradually leaving behind a slim and well-sculpted chin and jawline. The exciting news…Kybella results are permanent!
A double chin is a common issue for both men and women, particularly as they age. According to a survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), two-thirds of adults admit they are just as concerned about their double chin as they are about lines and wrinkles around their eyes. Submental fat can make you look like you have gained weight even if you haven’t gained a pound. It can also add years to your appearance, making you look much older than you feel.
Unfortunately, diet and exercise will not help to reverse a double chin. In the past, the best way to eliminate submental fullness was through surgical liposuction. Today, patients can achieve very similar results without incisions, anesthesia or an extended recovery period.
