Kybella
Double Chin & Jowl Treatment
Kybella, or deoxycholic acid, is the first and only FDA-approved prescription injection that is used to improve the appearance of submental fat below the neck and chin. We don’t have much enthusiasm for treating double chins with Kybella, however. We have found that SculpSure gives a much better result and at lower cost for double chins. We love Kybella for minimizing jowls.
How it works
Deoxycholic acid is a molecule that is naturally produced in the body and is commonly used in a variety of fields. When injected into fat cells, the acid works to break them down and eliminate them. Once they’re eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, which means once Kybella works for you, you likely won’t need retreatment.
Kybella has been used successfully in more than 1,500 people in several clinical studies. Side effects of the treatment are typically mild and include numbness, bruising, pain, swelling, and redness.
Kybella vs. Liposuction
There are several reasons individuals choose Kybella as an alternative to chin liposuction. These include:
Less invasive
No anesthesia required
Little downtime/recovery time
FDA-approved
Can be used on little to moderate submental fat
When diet and exercise aren’t enough
Submental and jowl fat is a common, but undertreated condition among both male and female adults and can be influenced by aging, weight gain, genetics, and more. When diet and exercise aren’t successful in fat reduction, our sagging jowl treatment can help.
