How does Kybella work?

Kybella is a non-surgical treatment for reducing submental fat, which is the fat that accumulates under the chin and around the neck. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

 

When Kybella is injected into the targeted area, it works by destroying the membranes of the fat cells in the submental area. The destroyed fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over the course of several weeks. As a result, the treated area gradually becomes slimmer and more contoured.

 

Kybella treatment typically involves a series of injections, and the number of injections and treatments needed may vary depending on the amount of submental fat present and the desired results.
