Kybella treatments at Laser + Skin Institute

KYBELLA is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”

Submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin”, is a common yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. It can impact a broad range of adults, including both men and women, and can be influenced by several factors such as aging, genetics and weight gain, and is often resistant to diet and exercise alone.

If you’re bothered by submental fullness, you’re not alone. According to a 2015 survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 67% of people said they’re bothered by under-the-chin fullness, or double chin, and people are just as bothered by under-the-chin fullness as they are by lines and wrinkles around and under their eyes. A double chin is an area that has been very difficult to treat. Prior to KYBELLA, invasive plastic surgery was often required which resulted in significant downtime, pain, and expense. Influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, aging, and weight gain, a double chin is notoriously difficult to reduce through diet and exercise, and can be seen in otherwise slender & healthy individuals.
