Kybella is a quick, non-invasive procedure that targets stubborn pockets of fat. It is the only FDA-approved treatment for submental fullness (or double chin). A double chin may be frustrating as your genetics can be very influential in its development, and often it is resistant to diet and exercise. With over 2000 patients studied, Kybella has shown ~80% satisfaction rate with minimal downtime and discomfort.
How does it work?
Kybella, as known as deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule that leads to the breakdown of fat. Once injected underneath your chin, Kybella causes destruction of fat cells, which are then removed from your body. This leads to a permanent reduction of fat underneath your chin.
Are there side effects?
The most common side effects include swelling and mild tenderness, which resolve within 1-2 weeks.
How many treatments sessions are needed?
At least two sessions are needed to see results, and most patients typically require 2-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
How long do my results last?
Once those fat cells are destroyed, the results are permanent.
