Kybella: Permanently Eliminate Your Double Chin

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a double chin. This non-surgical treatment uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to break down and permanently eliminate fat cells, resulting in a more defined and contoured jawline. Kybella is an excellent option for those seeking a noninvasive solution to excess chin fat, without the need for surgery or extended downtime.

What Is Kybella?

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, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. This results 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.

The treatment is specifically designed to target and reduce submental fullness, or the appearance of a double chin, providing a more defined and youthful jawline. Kybella is a noninvasive alternative to liposuction or surgery and typically requires multiple treatment sessions to achieve optimal results.

How Does Kybella Work?

Kybella works by using deoxycholic acid to break down the fat cells in the submental area. During the treatment, a series of small injections are administered directly into the fat beneath the chin. The deoxycholic acid disrupts the cell membrane of the fat cells, causing them to break down and be absorbed by the body’s natural metabolic processes. The treatment typically takes about 15-20 minutes, and most patients experience noticeable results after two to four treatment sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart. Over time, the body eliminates the destroyed fat cells, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured chin and jawline. Since the fat cells are permanently destroyed, the results of Kybella are long-lasting, with no need for future treatments once the desired results are achieved.

Each Kybella treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.
