The Kybella^® injection treats and improves the appearance of the build-up of fat below the chin, otherwise known as, “double chin.” Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for adults that treats this small area on the neck and lower jaw.

The build-up of submental fat, or fat below the chin, is caused by subcutaneous fat deposits under the jaw and neck which makes the tissues in the surrounding area sag. This causes the appearance of a double chin. Any person can develop this condition, although the most common reasons for the build-up of fat under the jaw are due to excess weight, genetics, and/ or age. You can improve the appearance of a double chin with the removal of the excess fat deposits stored there. Treatments like Kybella® effectively remove excess amounts of submental fat under the chin for a newly defined jawline without invasive surgery.

HOW KYBELLA® WORKS

The active ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When a True MedSpa medical provider injects Kybella® into the fat beneath the chin, it causes the destruction of fat cells so that those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After the cells are destroyed, the active ingredient encourages the body to absorb the excess cells that are no longer storing fat. This causes your chin to literally shrink away and become more defined.

TREATMENT

The treatment usually takes about 20 – 30 minutes. During the treatment, one of our highly-trained TrueMedSpa medical providers injects the appropriate amount of Kybella® into the specific fatty areas in your chin, using multiple injections to give you the best, personalized result. Depending on your case and desired results, about 6 treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart. No anesthesia is required for this painless procedure, but topical anesthetic or a cold pack are available to reduce any discomfort at your request.

RESULTS

The effects of Kybella® will be visible over a period of 4 – 6 weeks. The fat will begin to permanently shrink as the active ingredient gradually destroys the fat cells under your chin. Results give you a defined jawline, leaving you feeling younger and rejuvenated. After the aesthetic response is achieved, further treatment with Kybella® is not necessary.
