Kybella®

KYBELLA® is a prescription nonsurgical treatment for adults with moderate to severe under chin (sub-mental) fat. It permanently destroys fat cells in the treatment area. Now you can reduce the fullness under your chin and reveal an improved chin profile.

According to a 2015 survey done by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 67% of people said they are bothered by the fat beneath their chin. If you are interested in a nonsurgical way to reduce under chin fullness, or double chin, KYBELLA may be right for you.

KYBELLA is injected into the fat beneath your chin to destroy fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

The active ingredient in KYBELLA is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Fat cells cleared by this treatment are processed by the body’s natural metabolism.

For most patients, downtime occurs most commonly after the first treatment session. You should be able to resume your normal daily activities but are expected to have some swelling for a few days. Ice or cold packs may be applied to the treatment area for 10 to 15 minutes as needed.

Many patient experience visible results after 2 to 4 treatments. 59% of patients received 6 treatments in clinical trials.

After reaching your desired aesthetic goal, further treatment is not expected. KYBELLA causes destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

The most common side effects are swelling, numbness, bruising, redness, discomfort, and areas of hardness.

KYBELLA can cause serious side effects, including nerve injury in the jaw that can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness (experience by 4 out of 100 people in clinical studies) and trouble swallowing (experienced by 2 out of 100 people in clinical studies).

You’re a good candidate for KYBELLA if:

• You are bothered (unhappy, self-conscious, embarrassed) by fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness or double chin
• You feel the condition makes you look older or heavier than you actually are
• You don’t want to have surgery
• You eat well and exercise, but submental fullness does not go away
