Kybella®
Non-Surgical Chin Fat Reduction
Define your jawline with Kybella® (deoxycholic acid), an FDA-approved injectable treatment to reduce submental fullness (double chin) and enhance facial contours at Beautique Medical Spa.
What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an injectable treatment formulated with deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When injected into submental fat, it permanently destroys fat cells, preventing future fat storage. Treatment plans are tailored to your specific anatomy and goals.
Kybella® Treatment Focus
Notes: Kybella® is FDA-approved for submental fat reduction. Off-label uses are evaluated during consultations.
