While there are several surgical procedures available to eliminate chin fat, not everyone is comfortable with incisions. Fortunately, Kybella® is a revolutionary injectable that targets and dissolves fat cells in the chin area. It’s an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment option that has been proven to be safe and effective on other areas with much less of a side effect profile than the generic compounded lipo-dissolve. Also patients can earn Alle points with Allergan for credit toward more or another Allergan service including: Botox, the Juvaderm suite of fillers, Coolsculpt Elite, Diamond Glow facial, and Skin Medica skin care products.

What is Kybella?
Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps to break down and absorb dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the chin area, it destroys the fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fullness in the chin and neck.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella works through injection into the fat beneath the chin. The solution causes the fat cells to break down and be reabsorbed by the body. Over time, this results in a slimmer, more defined chin and neck.
The active ingredient in Kybella, a naturally occurring molecule called Deoxycholic Acid, aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the fat underneath the chin, it can not return or accumulate as fat again. This means further treatment isn’t necessary once you’ve reached your desired aesthetic.
