How Kybella (Submental Fat Reduction) Work for Your unique needs

Dreaming of getting rid of a double chin without surgery? Kybella is an innovative, successful technique for decreasing chin fat volume. Deoxycholic acid, the main component of the treatment, naturally breaks down fat cells. After the procedure, the skin looks tighter and facial features become more defined. This safe treatment requires no lengthy recovery and provides long-lasting results.

How does the procedure work?

The Kybella procedure begins with a consultation where the specialist assesses the chin area and determines the required amount of the product. Then a tiny needle is used to inject deoxycholic acid into the desired location. After the injection the fat cells progressively disintegrate and during the next weeks, the consequences become apparent. Several sessions may be needed to achieve the desired effect.

Skin Tightening

Kybella indirectly increases skin tightness in the treated region by decreasing submental fat, making it seem firmer and younger.
