How Does Kybella Work?

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, certain areas of fat just don’t go away – and a double chin is one of the most common trouble spots. If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to get rid of stubborn fat under your chin, Kybella might be the right option for you. 

At Farrell Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, we offer Kybella to help smooth out your chin and neckline. Dr. Deborah Farrell has many years of experience in aesthetic treatments and will make you feel comfortable and confident.

The Science Behind Kybella

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, the stubborn fat under the chin that can be resistant to diet and exercise. Unlike surgical methods that involve downtime, potential scarring, and higher costs, Kybella provides a non-invasive way to address chin fat. 

Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat. 

Here’s how Kybella works:

  • Targeting Fat Cells: The deoxycholic acid in Kybella disrupts the membranes of fat cells and breaks them down so your body can eliminate them over time.
  • Quick Treatment Sessions: Each session involves a series of small, precisely placed injections under the chin. The process typically takes just 15-20 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
  • Gradual, Long-Lasting Results: Most people begin to see a difference after the first few treatments, but reaching optimal results often takes two to four sessions spaced about eight weeks apart. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they don’t regenerate. This means results are long-lasting.

Kybella is a safe way to eliminate your double chin and improve your profile without downtime or surgery. You deserve to love what you see when you look in the mirror, or at photos of yourself.
