Kybella®
Empowering You to Look as Fabulous as You Feel
Welcome to the world of Kybella, your secret weapon against submental fullness – or in simpler terms, the dreaded double chin. As we age, or sometimes simply due to genetics, many of us notice a little extra fullness beneath our chins. That’s where Kybella steps in!
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that contours and improves the appearance of that pesky double chin. It’s a non-surgical solution to break down and absorb fat. Once injected, it works to destroy fat cells under the chin area, leaving you with a noticeably smoother and more defined jawline.
Whether you’re self-conscious about your double chin, or you’re simply looking for a non-invasive way to improve your profile, Kybella could be the solution you’ve been waiting for. Book a consultation and explore how Kybella can help you look as fabulous and confident as you feel!
What it is
Kybella is a prescription injectable treatment specifically designed to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin, often referred to as submental fat or more commonly, a “double chin.” It is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for this purpose. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
It’s important to note that while Kybella is a powerful tool for reducing submental fat, it isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. The best results are typically seen in individuals who have a distinct amount of fat under their chin and have skin that is relatively elastic.
How it works
Kybella works its magic by being directly injected into the submental fat, which is the layer of fat beneath the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance your body naturally produces to help absorb fats. When Kybella is administered into the treatment area, it begins to destroy the fat cells there. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.
The destruction of these cells leads to a noticeable reduction in the fullness under the chin, creating a more contoured and sleek jawline. This can drastically improve an individual’s profile appearance, making them look younger and feel more confident.
