The Best Solution For a Double Chin

Maybe that extra fullness beneath your chin is something you’ve had your whole life, something that developed over the years, or something you noticed recently. This may be a condition called submental fullness, or “double chin.”Submental fullness can be caused by weight gain, genetics, or aging. If you’re bothered, you’re not alone. 1 in 4 adults surveyed online was bothered by their double chin. Diet and exercise alone may not help.

At Laser & Mohs Dermatology of New York, we have a solution for you: KYBELLA® Cosmetic Treatments.

What is KYBELLA®?

KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells when injected under the chin for an improved profile. Multiple injections are given under the chin per treatment. Typically, 3 to 6 treatments are required and are given at least one month apart.

---

What Is KYBELLA® Made From?

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down fat.

How Does KYBELLA® Work?

When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA® permanently destroys fat cells. Once they’re gone, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. Your body’s natural metabolism then processes the fat cleared from the treatment area.
