Kybella

Anyone can develop submental (under the chin) fat, regardless of weight, diet, exercise regimen, or body type. However, until recently, moderately invasive liposuction was the best option for improving a patient’s double chin appearance. Now, injections of Kybella eliminate the need for liposuction and other invasive fat removal methods. Instead, several injections of this naturally occurring enzyme gives you a sleek and contoured chin area.

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that breaks down fatty tissues in the submental area. This prescription medication addresses moderate to severe submental fat.

Kybella is injected directly beneath the chin, and the membranes around the fat cells dissolve. Once destroyed, fat cells cannot store fat, and the fat is permanently removed over time. After two to four treatments, you may see visible changes in your profile.

Kybella Benefits include:

  • No surgery needed
  • Anesthesia is not required
  • Fast and efficient
  • FDA approved
  • Little downtime
  • Permanent results
