Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment to permanently destroy fat cells under the chin and restore youthfulness in both men and women. Kybella works by using a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat called deoxycholic acid.
Kybella is administered through a series of injections, and the whole procedure takes only about 15-20 minutes to administer. For best results, at least two treatments are recommended. Patients love Kybella because it requires no downtime following treatment, although some bruising, swelling, and soreness are normal, as with any injection. This is because the fat cells are damaged and removed through the natural lymphatic system in the body.
This treatment is best for moderate to severe submental fullness or double chin. This procedure has been growing in popularity since 2015, when the FDA approved it, and has become a viable option for those looking to tighten their jaw lines without surgery. While the fat removal is permanent, many patients schedule maintenance sessions after six months or a year to maintain their looks.
Cost Per Treatment: $600
