Kybella Treatment

What is Kybella Treatment?

Kybella® treatment is a non-surgical, injectable treatment for reducing the fat that creates what is known as a “double chin”. The active ingredient is a synthetic version of a naturally-occurring molecule called deoxycholic acid — a molecule that breaks down fat — most specifically the type of fat contained within sub mental fullness — the fat that produces a double chin.
