What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce fat beneath the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, occurs naturally in the body and helps break down dietary fat. When injected into the targeted area, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated through the body’s metabolic process.

How Kybella Works

A series of small injections are administered directly beneath the chin during a quick in-office visit. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, making the results long-lasting. Most patients require a series of treatments spaced weeks apart to achieve optimal contouring.

Conditions Kybella Treats

• Submental fullness, often referred to as a double chin
• Poor jawline definition caused by excess fat
• Genetic or age-related fat accumulation beneath the chin
