Introduction to Kybella

Prepare for a transformation with Kybella at Koh Aesthetics. It’s a nonsurgical injectable treatment for reducing excess fat beneath the chin. We provide this innovative procedure to help our patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals efficiently and effectively.

What Is Kybella

Kybella utilizes a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a bile acid naturally produced by the body to absorb fat. Administered through several injections, Kybella targets fat cells, specifically under the chin, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction. This FDA-approved technique requires minimal downtime and no incisions, making it a great option for those seeking to address stubborn fat in the submental area.

How Does Kybella Work

During the Kybella procedure, deoxycholic acid is strategically injected into the targeted area beneath the chin. This acid destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing fat in the future. Over time, the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates these damaged fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline. The process is gradual, with noticeable results typically appearing after multiple treatment sessions.
