KYBELLA® is the only FDA approved, non-surgical, fat elimination system for under-chin fat on the market today.
So if you have:
Bothered (unhappy, self-conscious, embarrassed) by fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness
Feel that you look older or heavier than you actually are
Don’t want to have surgery
Eat well and exercise, but submental fullness does not go away
How KYBELLA® works.
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
Be aware, many unethical practitioners will tell you they’re administering KYBELLA when in fact they are using a generic form of Deoxycholic acid or even a different compound. Be sure you’re getting the real thing!
How is KYBELLA® administered?
At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes (plus numbing time which can vary). The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile.
KYBELLA®? FAQs
What is KYBELLA®?
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”
It is not known if KYBELLA® is safe and effective for the treatment of fat outside of the submental area or in children under 18 years of age.
Who should not receive KYBELLA®?
Do not receive KYBELLA® if you have an infection in the treatment area.
How many KYBELLA® treatment sessions will I need?
Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.
