Kybella
The first and only FDA approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance of double chin .
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which naturally occurs in the body. This aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. When injected beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a reduction in fullness under the chin. Once your aesthetic goal is reached, no further treatment is needed.
Kybella FAQ
Does Kybella hurt?
Kybella involves minimal pain and discomfort. Before a Kybella treatment for your double chin, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the area to reduce discomfort. Some patients describe a slight burning sensation during the injections, but the feeling subsides within minutes. After treatment, an ice pack helps ease any feeling of discomfort.
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
Patients will need a series of up to two to four treatments, scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results.
How long is a Kybella treatment?
Kybella is a relatively quick and easy procedure. Most patients are in and out within 30 minutes; most of the time is used to allow the topical numbing to work.
