Kybella is a brand name for deoxycholic acid, an injectable treatment for reducing submental fat, often called a "double chin."

Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, which when injected into the fat under the chin, breaks down fat cells. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these fat cells, reducing the appearance of a double chin.

During a Kybella injection, a healthcare provider marks the treatment area, administers numbing injections or uses a topical anesthetic, and injects Kybella into multiple sites under the chin. Temporary swelling, redness, and discomfort are common post-injection, with results developing over several weeks to months as the body eliminates fat cells. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results. Following post-treatment care instructions is important.

At Bad Skin, a vial of Kybella starts at $700.00. Additional vials may be needed upon consultation.
