What is Kybella?
Kybella is a synthetic formulation of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally present in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the submental fat, also known as “double chin,” Kybella triggers the destruction of fat cells, rendering them incapable of storing or accumulating fat. This FDA-approved treatment offers a targeted approach to reducing submental fullness and reshaping the chin contour.
How it works.
Kybella contains a non-human, non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected under the chin, the deoxycholic acid breaks down the unwanted fat. Once those fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer continue to accumulate or store fat.
