How Kybella Works
If you’re interested in a nonsurgical way to reduce submental fullness, also known as double chin, KYBELLA® may be right for you. KYBELLA® is a first-of-its-kind injectable treatment for adults with submental fullness that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile.
Kybella® is administered as a series of injections to the treatment area under the chin, destroying fat cells and producing gradual results. The number of treatment sessions will vary based on the amount of fat under the chin and your treatment goals.
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment designed to permanently reduce fullness in the chin / submentum area, often referred to as a “double chin”.
Deoxycholic acid, the ingredient in Kybella, causes lysis then liquefaction of the adipocytes (fat cells). The skin layer becomes tighter to the muscle underneath when the fat is destroyed, creating an even more impressive profile. Clinical results to date have been permanent.
Originally developed to treat the “double chin”, Kybella is being used successfully in other areas of the body including abdomen, bra fat, “banana rolls,” and more.
