What Kybella does
Kybella is an injectable form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally uses to break down dietary fat. Injected in a precise grid beneath the chin, it destroys the fat cells in the treated area. Because those cells are gone permanently, they can no longer store fat.
The result is a slimmer, more defined profile under the chin and jaw without surgery or downtime in the operating-room sense. It is the right tool for stubborn submental fullness, the so-called double chin, that does not budge with diet or exercise.
Permanent, for the right candidate
Kybella is specific. Used in the right patient and area, it is one of the few non-surgical treatments that delivers a permanent result.
Treated fat cells are eliminated rather than temporarily emptied, so the reduction does not simply rebound later.
A series of quick injection sessions instead of liposuction, with no anesthesia, incisions or scars.
The number of sessions depends on how much fullness you have. Olympia maps a realistic plan at your consultation.
