Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing moderate to severe fat beneath the chin (submental fat). The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
Â
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys the fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. The result is a more contoured and defined jawline.
Â
Kybella injections typically require a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart. The number of treatments needed will depend on the amount of submental fat being treated and the individual’s desired results.
Â
Kybella is a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for those who want to improve the appearance of their chin and neck without undergoing surgery.
