Kybella
Say goodbye to your double chin
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that improves the appearance of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also known as a double chin. Kybella® injections destroy fat cells under the chin, delivering noticeable results.
Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid, a chemical that results in fat cell disruption. During a single treatment, a precise amount of medication is injected in a grid pattern that’s been pre-marked on the skin beneath the chin.
