Kybella is an injectable used to target the fat beneath the chin(double chin) or other areas on the body where you may have a small pocket of unwanted fat. The process uses a series of deoxycholic acid injections to target the fat cells in the desired area. Since Kybella destroys fat cells and cell can no longer store or accumulate fat, further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
