What is Kybella?

Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable that is used to treat adults over the age of 18 that have excess fat under their chin. This injectable contains deoxycholic acid, a molecule that is naturally found in the body that helps to break down dietary fat. When Kybella® is injected into the chin, it destroys fat cells to prevent them from storing more fat.

How do dermatologists use Kybella?

When you come in for treatment, the first step we will take is to create the proper treatment plan, which will include information such as how many treatment sessions you will need in order to achieve the results you want. Many patients are able to see results around two to four sessions, but some patients may need up to six treatments in order to get the results they want. During each session, we will inject multiple needles into the chin to target and eliminate these stubborn fat cells.

Is Kybella a long-lasting treatment?

Another perk to Kybella® treatment is that once the fat cells are destroyed and you have obtained the aesthetic results you’ve been looking for you will not require additional Kybella® treatments in order to maintain your new results. Imagine going through life after your treatment with a shapelier and more contoured face that is free of a double chin.
