How Kybella Treats a Double Chin

Kybella injections contain deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body. This destroys fat cells and encourages the body the absorb them. After completing your treatments, results are typically long-term and patients usually do not require additional treatment sessions.

Submental fullness is a common problem that resists normal weight loss measures like diet and exercise. Both men and women experience double chins, which are usually caused by a combination of factors including genetics, weight gain and aging.

No matter the cause of this excess fat, it’s a frustration. According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery:

• 67% of people are concerned about submental fullness
• People are as bothered by submental fullness as they are by facial lines and wrinkles

Kybella can change that. In the span of only 2-4 treatment sessions, patients see a reduction to their submental fullness. Depending on the case, a patient may receive up to six treatments with each spaced at least a month apart.

Though there are possible mild side effects including swelling, bruising and discomfort, patients are usually able to return to their regular activities right away. They will begin seeing noticeable results in the coming weeks.
