Elimate that double chin for good with Kybella.
Submental fat, typically referred to as a “double chin,” is a very common complaint from men and women. Influenced by factors such as aging, genetics and weight gain, submental fat is often difficult to reduce through diet and exercise alone. Previously, only minimally invasive and surgical procedures could improve the contour of the neck. Now there’s Kybella.
Kybella is a quick in-office injectable fat reduction treatment used to recontour the area below the chin. When injected, Kybella can permanently eliminate fat deposits.
Approximately 67% of consumers reported that they were bothered by their submental fat, as much as they are dissatisfied with wrinkles or lines around the eyes. Submental fullness makes the face look older and heavier, despite other facial features. It can make a profound difference in a person’s appearance.
