Kybella

No one likes the look of excess fullness beneath the face, yet millions of Americans suffer from the dreaded double chin and do nothing to correct or eliminate it.

​

Eliminating the double chin is no exception. The recent introduction and use of deoxycholic acid, known also as Kybella, has provided displeased individuals worldwide a safe, easy, and effective way to get rid of that excess flesh just below the jaw.

Frequently asked questions:

What is Kybella?

If you haven’t yet heard of deoxycholic acid or Kybella, you likely will in the near future. The first of its kind, Kybella is an innovative, non-invasive injectable treatment method for the removal of excess fatty flesh on the neck commonly known as the “double chin”.

How does Kybella work?

The clinically-proven use of deoxycholic acid to target and eliminate fat deposits in the neck involves a series of multiple injections applied around the neck and face over a period of time. The injections contain a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring substance found within the body that facilitates the breakdown and absorption of fat cells. Use of Kybella acts as a way to target and eliminate cells permanently, which means the results are long-term.

​

What is treatment like?

Kybella is administered only by trained medical professionals and consists of a series of 15 to 20 minute sessions in which multiple injections are directly applied to the targeted areas. An initial consultation prior to each session will help you and your provider determines the specifics of your treatment. The sessions will take place no sooner than eight weeks between each, and the total number of sessions will again depend on your individual assessment. 

Over time, your body resolves the swelling, revealing a slimmer, more youthful neck.

​

What makes Kybella especially great is that results are permanent. The fat destroyed by Kybella will never return.
