KYBELLA

Kybella is a cosmetic injectable treatment that is used to reduce the appearance of submental fat, also known as a double chin. The treatment involves injecting deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, into the fat cells beneath the chin. This causes the fat cells to be destroyed and gradually eliminated from the body. Kybella is a non-invasive alternative to more invasive procedures, such as liposuction or a neck lift, and requires minimal downtime. Results are typically visible after several weeks, and additional treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Kybella is a safe and effective option for those looking to improve the appearance of their chin and achieve a more defined jawline. It’s important to consult with a qualified professional to determine if Kybella is right for you and to discuss the best treatment plan for your individual needs and goals.
