Kybella Deoxycholic Acid

Kybella Deoxycholic Acid is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.

HOW KYBELLA (Deoxycholic Acid)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.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH KYBELLA (Deoxycholic Acid)

Before starting treatment, your healthcare specialist will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA^® is right for you. Then, your specialist will tailor your treatment to the amount of fat under the chin and your aesthetic goals.
