Double chins are a giveaway of your age. Often, they are inevitable and no matter what you do they just won’t go away. Now there is an injectable called Kybella, that mimics the natural absorption process of fat cells.  You no longer need to worry about trying liposuction!

Kybella is a man-made form of deoxycholic acid or a naturally occurring substance causes the body absorb fat. Deoxycholic acid is designed to destroy the fat cells that cause double chins.

Kybella is injected underneath the skin fat of the submental neck region. Kybella destroys the membranes of the cells that store fat.  Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store fat. The body’s natural healing and elimination processes take over and in about four to six weeks your double chin is dramatically reduced or eliminated.

Once Kybella destroys the fat cells, they are permanently removed. In clinical trials used by the FDA even those patients who gained weight after Kybella injectables, did not see their double chins return.

Most people can receive Kybella injections without any problems but talk to your doctor or Kybella consultant whether you would be a good candidate. Kybella can only be used by adults 18 and over. You do need to follow post treatment recommendations.
