Facial and Chin Slimming
What is Kybella?
Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid naturally occurs in the body and helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the fat beneath the skin, it destroys the fat, leading to a noticeable reduction in fat fullness. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, so no further treatment is necessary once you reach your desired goal.
Benefit: It removes submental fat on the sides of each cheek and beneath the chin.
Price: $600 per session, 3 to 6 sessions per area is required.
Who it’s for
Exclusively for Adults above the age of 18.
