Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable medication used for the treatment of submental fullness, commonly known as a "double chin."

The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella works by destroying fat cells, leading to a reduction in submental fullness and the appearance of a more defined jawline.

Kybella treatments are typically administered by our healthcare professional in Curated Medical, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The number of treatment sessions required can vary depending on the individual's specific needs and desired results. In general, multiple treatment sessions are needed, with each session spaced at least one month apart.

After receiving Kybella injections, some common side effects may include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, or hardness in the treated area. These side effects are usually temporary and subside over time. It is important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions and discuss any concerns or questions regarding the treatment.

As with any medical procedure, it is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if Kybella is a suitable option for you. They can evaluate your specific condition, medical history, and goals to provide personalized recommendations and guidance.
