Kybella-Double Chin

KYBELLA® is The First and Only FDA-approved injectable drug that reduces submental fullness. Submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” is a common, yet under-treated facial esthetic condition. It can detract from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance – leading to an older or heavier look.

You and your Nurse Injector will customize your KYBELLA® treatment regimen, including how many treatments you need, based on your desired chin profile. Most patients require 2-4 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart, for permanent results.

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. A complimentary consultation is required to further discuss if KYBELLA® is right for you.
