Kybella

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a "double chin." Its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.

When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella works by disrupting the fat cells, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body over time. This results in a more contoured, defined jawline and a slimmer appearance of the chin area.

Key Points About Kybella:

Treatment Areas: Primarily used for the submental area (under the chin), but may also be used in other small pockets of fat on the body, though its use in other areas is less common.
Procedure: The treatment involves a series of injections, with multiple sessions (typically 2–4) spaced about a month apart, depending on the amount of fat to be treated.
Results: Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate, leading to permanent fat reduction in the treated area. Results typically become noticeable after 2–4 weeks and improve over several months.
Side Effects: Some temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, numbness, or redness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days to weeks.
Who is it for?: Kybella is suitable for adults who have moderate to severe submental fat and are looking for a non-invasive option for contouring their chin area without surgery.

Kybella offers a convenient, minimally invasive alternative to liposuction for patients looking to address unwanted fat in the chin area.
