Kybella For Nonsurgical Fat Reduction
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to reduce stubborn fat beneath the chin to create a slimmer, more contoured profile. The active ingredient in Kybella is Deoxycholic acid, which is a molecule your body naturally uses to break down fat cells.
When injected into the subcutaneous fat layer beneath the chin (submental fat), deoxycholic acid works by permanently destroying fat cells in the treatment area, allowing for long-lasting improvement in jawline definition. When Kybella is injected, the body initiates a localized inflammatory response, recruiting macrophages and other immune cells to clear the cellular debris and fat cell remnants through normal lymphatic and metabolic pathways. This typically causes temporary swelling and tenderness.
Treatments are quick, customized, and performed comfortably in-office, with gradual results developing as the body naturally clears the treated fat cells. Many clients enjoy a more refined, confident appearance after a series of sessions tailored to their goals! Ask one of our professional providers at Splendid Skin in Franklin, TN today.
