Kybella
Kybella Benefits
Kybella® is the medical procedure to deal with issues like double chin, also called submental fullness. It is the only treatment that FDA approves and uses injectable treatment to destroy fat cells. The main ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, which also occurs naturally in the body to break down fat cells and aids the absorption of dietary fat. Kybella® procedure injects that ingredient under the chin and burns fat cells. Once the process destroys the cells, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. It is possible to need more than one treatment, but you do not need further treatment once reached the desired look.
