How Kybella Works

Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, Kybella works to gradually reduce excess fullness in the treatment area. Over time, the body naturally processes the treated fat cells, helping improve jawline definition and lower facial contour.

Common treatment areas

  • Submental Fullness (Double Chin) - Reduces fullness beneath the chin

  • Jawline Definition - Improves lower face contour

  • Profile Enhancement - Supports a more defined facial profile
