Kybella Treatment for Double Chin

The presence of a double chin can blur your jawline and impact your overall facial profile regardless of how much you weigh. Many people struggle with stubborn fat beneath the chin that refuses to respond to diet and exercise. Kybella Treatment for Double Chin in Dubai is a non-invasive method that has been developed to help remove excess fat from underneath the chin to give you a cleaner, more defined jawline and neckline. Using deoxycholic acid, it helps improve jawline definition and neck contour without surgery or lengthy recovery periods.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA approved medicine that’s specifically designed to eliminate submental fat (double chin). It includes a naturally occurring molecule called deoxycholic acid which is used to help break down and absorb fat consumed in the diet.

Unlike surgical procedures, Kybella is a non surgical fat reduction treatment that involves a series of precisely placed injections under the chin.

What is Deoxycholic Acid?

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body which is used to digest and absorb fats. They are injected into specific areas under the chin which breaks the fat cell walls and the fat cells are permanently destroyed. These fat cells, when removed will not be able to store fat or add more fat to them.

How Does Kybella Work?

Kybella’s action is localized, specifically on fat deposits under the chin.

Treatment consists of:

• Fat injection into the neck (deoxycholic acid)
• The result is an elimination of unwanted fat cells
• Helping the natural removal of the damaged cells by the body
• Gradually improving jawline definition and neck contour

What Causes a Double Chin?

Genetics

The accumulation of excess fat under the chin is a genetic predisposition for some people.

Weight Gain

As the body fat increases, there may be an accumulation of fat in the lower face and neck.

Aging

Aging can lead to skin quality differences and fat redistribution around the face especially the chin.

Skin Laxity

The excess skin can cause a fullness under the chin line accentuating the double chin.

Facial Anatomy

Submental fullness can be affected by the natural bone structure and facial proportions.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

• Mild Double Chin

For those who have localized fat deposits under the chin, there’s a chance for great results with a small amount.
