Kybella is an injectable medication used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
During a Kybella treatment, small injections are administered directly into the submental fat underneath the chin. The deoxycholic acid in Kybella destroys the fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated by the body over time.
Kybella is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction procedures requiring anesthesia and downtime. The treatment typically takes about 20-30 minutes, and most people need multiple treatments to achieve optimal results.
Some of the potential benefits of Kybella include the following:
- Reduction of submental fat and the appearance of a double chin
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure
- Little to no downtime is required after treatment
- Long-lasting results
