Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid) Injections for Double Chin

Kybella（去氧膽酸）注射治療雙下巴

Public Education

Description 描述:

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a "double chin." The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction of fullness under the chin.
