Kybella

This synthetic medication was created to help the body destroy fat at the point of injection, helping to reduce the appearance of a double chin.  Double chins can make you feel overweight and age your appearance, and sometimes even exercise and diet won’t make it go away.

Excess fat below the chin, most often referred to as a “double chin” can be difficult to get rid of despite diet and exercise. If you’re concerned with the appearance of a double chin, Kybella might be the treatment for you. At Dr. Bawa & Associates in Destin, FL, we work with patients interested in using Kybella to determine if it is the necessary and appropriate course of treatment. Our specialists may have the solution to help you achieve the facial profile you’ve been dreaming of.

A SIMPLE TREATMENT WITH LONG LASTING RESULTS

Kybella is a synthetic medication that replicates the effects of a substance in your body that absorbs fat. Scientifically known as deoxycholic acid, Kybella destroys fat cells in the areas where it is injected, decreasing the appearance of a double chin. Dr. Bawa & Associates specialists will work with you to review your medical history, assess your desired results, and plan a course of treatment. Do you think Kybella is right for you? Call Dr. Bawa & Associates in Destin, FL to learn more.

Deoxycholic acid occurs naturally in the body and is part of the process that causes fat to break down and get absorbed.  Kybella involves the injection of a synthetic form of this chemical to problem areas, aiding the body in breaking down fat and reducing the appearance of a double chin.  Surgery used to be the only way to treat this condition, but now its manageable with a simple injection!

results are permanent. KYBELLA® has been the focus of a global clinical development program involving over 20 clinical studies. More than 1600 people were treated with KYBELLA® in these studies.
