WHAT IS KYBELLA®?

Kybella® is an injectable treatment that is used to reduce what is called a “double chin.” Unfortunately, due to the way a double chin is formed, often exercise or diet alone do not effectively reduce the excess fat on the upper neck. Historically, surgery was the only way to get rid of this. With the addition of Kybella®, transformative results will be seen with non-invasive injections.

Subcutaneous fat is the layer of fat that lays under the skin and is not visible from the outside. This leads to submental fullness, which is simply an accumulation of subcutaneous fat. When this becomes visually apparent, people tend to call it a double chin.’ Using Kybella® allows you to reduce this fullness and replace it with toned definition.

Kybella’s® active ingredient is Deoxycholic acid. This acid naturally occurs in the intestine located in the digestive system, and it assists in breaking down and absorbing the fat in our diets. The scientists who created Kybella® produced a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, allowing it to imitate its properties in a desirable form.

Once injected into the lower chin the injectant emulates its work in the digestive system by destroying the fat cells in the area. Those fat cells that once stored the fat also lose the ability to accumulate fat again. In other words, once Kybella® has been injected, the results are permanent!
