Kybella® Treatment Areas
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable formulation of deoxycholic acid. This naturally occurring molecule facilitates dietary fat breakdown. When administered to the submental region, Kybella® induces adipocyte lysis. This results in a visible reduction of submental fullness and enhanced jawline definition. Once adipocytes undergo lysis, they lose their capacity for lipid storage, yielding durable results.
What are the Benefits of Kybella® Treatments?
Kybella® treatments offer several distinct advantages for facial contouring:
- Reduced Submental Fullness: Effectively diminishes the appearance of a double chin.
- Non-Surgical Solution: This modality offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical lipoplasty procedures.
- Long-Lasting Results: Permanently eliminates treated fat cells, preventing future fat accumulation in the area.
- Improved Jawline Definition: Enhances jawline contours for a more sculpted and refined appearance.
- Minimal Downtime: This procedure facilitates a prompt return to routine activities, minimizing patient downtime and disruption.
