Kybella is an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. During a Kybella treatment session, the deoxycholic acid is injected into the fat beneath the chin. The acid works to destroy fat cells, preventing them from accumulating and leading to a reduction in the appearance of a double chin. The body then naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells over time.
