Kybella
Kybella
Losing fullness under the chin can be difficult, even with a healthy diet and consistent exercise regimen. Kybella is the only FDA-approved prescription injectable used for eliminating submental (under the chin) fullness, often referred to as the “double chin.” Using deoxycholic acid, Kybella targets the membranes that store fat cells, destroys them, and eliminates their ability to store fat. Eventually, the natural processes in the body remove or dramatically reduce the fat in the treated area, leaving behind a chin profile you can feel confident about!
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment option that requires little downtime and only kills the fat cells in the treated areas. Kybella can be used to treat other small pockets of fat, such as bra bulges, areas of the stomach, and the inner thighs. The treatment is quick and ideal for most patients over the age of 18, but it is important to discuss your goals or concerns with our team of experts at Ella Medical Aesthetics.
