Kybella
Kybella is an injectable treatment designed to improve the appearance of excess fat beneath the chin. This non-surgical procedure gives patients a more defined jawline and a slimmer-looking profile.
Kybella is the first FDA-approved injection to target fat below the chin. The injection uses deoxycholic acid, a bile acid naturally found within our bodies, to help absorb fat. Kybella uses a synthetic form of this acid to help remove fat cells beneath the chin. Because this is an injectable treatment, no incisions are required, and recovery is quick and easy.
