Kybella® Fat Reduction

Embrace a more defined jawline with our Kybella® Fat Reduction treatment at Balboa Medical Center & Spa. Specifically designed to target stubborn fat beneath the chin, Kybella offers a pinpointed solution for a slimmer, more contoured profile. 

. Its active ingredient is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to destroy fat cells beneath the chin, a condition known as submental fullness

The "Fat Discovery": How It Works

When injected into the fat under the chin, Kybella disrupts the cell membranes of fat cells, causing them to dissolve. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. The body then naturally metabolizes and clears the cellular debris through the lymphatic system over several weeks.

• Permanent Results: Because fat cells are physically destroyed and do not regenerate, results are long-lasting.
• Gradual Transformation: Changes typically appear over 4 to 6 weeks as the body processes the fat.

The Right Candidate

Kybella is highly effective for specific individuals but is not a general weight-loss solution.

• Moderate to Severe Submental Fat: Ideal for those with a noticeable "double chin" that is resistant to diet and exercise.
• Good Skin Elasticity: Since Kybella removes fat but does not significantly tighten skin, candidates with firm skin will see the best contouring as the skin retracts.
• Healthy Weight & Lifestyle: Best suited for adults (18+) who are at or near a stable target weight.
• Realistic Expectations: Most patients require a series of 2 to 4 sessions (spaced 4-6 weeks apart) to reach their goals.
