KYBELLA® is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring gut enzyme, which is used to dissolve fat cells and reduce small areas of excess fat. Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectible to permanently treat submental fat, also known as the double chin.
Kybella is administered as a series of injections to the treatment area under the chin, destroying fat cells and producing gradual results. Everyone’s chin profile is different, so your physician will tailor treatment to you. The number of treatment sessions will vary based on the amount of fat under the chin and your treatment goals.
Each session requires multiple injections to the area being treated and patients typically need several treatment sessions to get the results they want, often three to four treatments. Outcome of course depends on your unique anatomy, the amount of excess fat you want to treat and whether or not your skin has good elasticity.
