Kybella
Kybella
Kybella® is a prescription injectable treatment that is FDA-approved for improving the appearance of moderate to severe fullness beneath the chin (submental fullness) in appropriate adult patients. At Skin Totale Med Spa, every Kybella treatment begins with a personalized consultation to evaluate your concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.
Treatment Overview
Kybella® is designed to treat submental fullness, commonly referred to as a “double chin.” Treatment involves a series of small injections administered beneath the chin by a qualified healthcare provider. The number of treatment sessions varies depending on individual anatomy and treatment goals.
Active Ingredient
Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When used for its approved indication, it is intended to improve the appearance of submental fullness in appropriate patients.
