What is KYBELLA™?

KYBELLA™ is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” It is not known if KYBELLA™ is safe and effective for use outside of the submental area.

How does KYBELLA™ work?

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 your chin, KYBELLA™ causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

Is KYBELLA™ right for me?

Only you and Dr. Halem can decide if KYBELLA™ is right for you. If you’re bothered by submental fullness, or double chin, ask your doctor about KYBELLA™.

How many people have been treated with KYBELLA™?

KYBELLA™ has been the focus of a global clinical development program involving over 20 clinical studies with more than 2,600 patients worldwide, of which over 1,600 have been treated with KYBELLA™.

What can I expect during my KYBELLA™ appointment?
