5 Things to Know About Kybella®

A Kybella treatment uses a naturally occurring substance, deoxycholic acid, that targets and destroys fat cells in the area where your provider injects it. Once it destroys those cells, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, which results in a contoured jawline.

As a result, Kybella® leaves a smooth, contoured jawline, and you should not need re-treatment afterward.

5 Things to Know About Kybella

1. First, Kybella® is the only non-surgical, FDA-approved injection that reduces submental fullness, or the “double chin.”
2. When your provider injects it into the subcutaneous fat, Kybella destroys fat cells. Because those cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, you will not need further treatment once you reach your aesthetic goal.
3. Next, each treatment takes about 15-20 minutes. For comfort, we apply topical numbing to the skin beforehand and ice immediately afterward.
4. In addition, the treatment requires minimal downtime, and we customize it to each patient. You may receive up to 6 treatments, spaced 2-3 months apart.
5. Finally, Kybella® can reduce fat in several areas: chin fat, abdomen fat, fat above the breast, inner and above-knee fat, armpit fat, bra bulge and back fat, lower buttocks fatty folds, and outer-thigh saddlebags.
