Kybella
What Does Kybella Do?
The Process
Kybella targets and eliminates submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, which breaks down fat cells. When injected, Kybella destroys these cells, preventing them from storing fat again. The body then naturally metabolizes the dead cells, resulting in a slimmer, more defined jawline and improved facial contour with minimal downtime.
How Does It Work?
Kybella works by using deoxycholic acid, a molecule that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This process reduces the appearance of a double chin, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured jawline and improved facial profile with permanent results.
