Kybella ®
Kybella is a prescription medicine designed to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a “double chin.” It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into submental fat, Kybella destroys fat cells, gradually reducing fullness and creating a more defined jawline.
How it Works:
Kybella works through its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, which plays a crucial role in fat metabolism. When injected beneath the chin, it breaks down fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally absorb and eliminate them over time. As a result, patients experience a gradual yet noticeable reduction in submental fullness, leading to a contoured jawline and a more sculpted profile.
What it Treats:
Kybella specifically targets moderate to severe submental fullness, which may result from genetics, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. Since stubborn chin fat can persist despite diet and exercise, Kybella provides an effective solution for those seeking a non-surgical alternative.
Treatment Benefits:
- Non-surgical: Offers a non-surgical alternative to procedures like liposuction for reducing submental fat.
- Customizable: Treatment can be customized to address each individual’s specific needs and desired outcome.
- Convenience: Kybella injections are typically performed in-office and require minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities relatively quickly.
- Permanent results: Once fat cells are destroyed by Kybella, they cannot regenerate, leading to long-lasting results. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to prevent the accumulation of new fat cells in the treated area.
- Improved self-confidence: Reduction of submental fullness with Kybella can enhance facial contours and improve overall facial harmony, leading to increased self-esteem and confidence.
