How does Kybella work?
Kybella is an FDA approved injectable that is used to improve the appearance of the area below the chin. The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid which is a naturally occurring chemical in the body that helps your body breakdown and absorb fat. It is injected in the fat below the chin and causes destruction of the fat cells in that area.

What should you expect?
