Kybella
If you are bothered by fullness in your chin… Kybella is the answer!
Submental fat (more commonly known as the double chin) often make people feel self-conscious about their profile and overall appearance. The double chin hardly ever responds to diet and exercise, which is why treatments like Kybella® is one of the most effective methods for eliminating fat under the chin.
What is Kybella?
The Kybella® injection is the only FDA-approved treatment option for submental fullness in the face. The injection contains an ingredient called deoxycholic acid, which is a molecule that also naturally occurs in the body. Deoxycholic acid specifically works to break down and absorb fat, and when injected into specific regions, the concentration of the molecule increases and strategically eliminates fat cells.
