KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. Composed of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, KYBELLA® works by targeting and destroying fat cells in the treatment area. Once injected beneath the chin, the solution breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body over time.
The treatment typically involves a series of injections administered by a trained healthcare professional during a series of sessions spaced about one month apart. As the fat cells are gradually eliminated, patients can expect a noticeable reduction in the appearance of their double chin, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline.
KYBELLA® offers a non-surgical alternative to procedures like liposuction, providing a minimally invasive option for individuals seeking to address stubborn fat beneath the chin. While results may vary, many patients experience significant improvement in their chin profile with KYBELLA®, leading to increased satisfaction with their appearance.
It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if KYBELLA® is the right treatment option for you, as well as to discuss any potential side effects or contraindications.
