KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.
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.
Consultation for Kybella® is required, as not everyone is a good candidate. Consultation is also important so that downtime and swelling can be discussed and the treatment can be scheduled appropriately. If you are deemed a good candidate, then pre-treatment instructions will be given and gone over.
The day of treatment, numbing cream will be applied for 30 minutes and then the treatment will be done after careful marking. Ice will be applied for 5 to 10 minutes afterward and post care instructions given.
