What Is Kybella?
Kybella treatment is a non-surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of fat below the chin, often referred to as double chin. Kybella reduces fat in the submental area, below the chin, and received FDA approval in 2015 for the submental region only. Kybella’s main ingredient is deoxycholic acid, which is a modified form of a chemical that our body already produces. When applied to a specific location, it permanently kills fat cells, causing those cells to no longer collect or store fat in the body.
Kybella injections are used to treat submental fat, also known as a “double chin.” Essentially, the area below your chin is a natural location for excess fat deposits, which can arise as a result of obesity, fat gain, the natural aging process, lack of exercise, unhealthy eating habits, or sometimes simply genetics. Many people struggle with double chins since they are extremely tough to lose without treatment. In other cases, some people are looking to sculpt their jawline in order to have a perfect facial profile.
