KYBELLA
ABOUT
KYBELLA®, the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that will destroy fat cells at the treatment area that is under the chin, is a great way to improve your profile. Synthetic deoxycholic acid is the active ingredient in KYBELLA®. Deoxycholic acid is a molecule that naturally occurs in your body, aiding the absorption and breakdown of dietary fat. When it is injected into the fat underneath your chin, KYBELLA® destroys those fat cells, which results in a significant reduction of fullness underneath the chin. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they will no longer accumulate or store fat, so any further treatments are not necessary once you have reached your sought-after aesthetic goal.
