Kybella is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin.  Made from deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, Kybella works by breaking down and absorbing fat cells.  It’s an excellent option for individuals who struggle with excess fat beneath the chin but prefer a non-invasive treatment without the need for liposuction or surgery.

At Village Dermatology, our expert dermatologists offer personalized Kybella treatments to help you achieve a more contoured and defined jawline.  This quick, effective treatment provides lasting results by destroying fat cells in the treated area permanently.

Kybella contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, which helps break down and absorb dietary fat.  When injected into the specific areas of fat beneath the chin, Kybella works by destroying fat cells, which are then naturally processed and metabolized by the body over time.  Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are permanently removed, resulting in a more defined and sculpted chin and jawline.

While Kybella is primarily used to reduce fat under the chin, it is also being explored for use in other areas with small pockets of stubborn fat, such as the jowls or bra fat.  However, its FDA approval is specifically for the treatment of submental fullness (double chin).
