KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness or a “double chin.” This non-surgical treatment uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, to break down and absorb fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a more defined and contoured jawline. Treatment sessions are quick, typically lasting 15 to 20 minutes, with noticeable results developing over the following weeks. KYBELLA® offers a long-lasting solution for achieving a slimmer, more sculpted chin profile.
