Kybella Treatment in Kerrville, TX
Stubborn fat under the chin can be resistant to diet and exercise. Kybella® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce submental fat—commonly known as a double chin. At Precision Dermatology, our expert aesthetic providers offer Kybella treatments to help contour the jawline and restore confidence without surgery or downtime.
What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected under the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they cannot return, making Kybella a long-lasting solution for unwanted submental fullness.
What Areas Can Kybella Treat?
While Kybella is FDA-approved for the submental area, it may also be used off-label in select patients to treat:
-
Under the chin (double chin)
-
Jawline fullness
-
Small pockets of fat beneath the jaw
Your provider will determine candidacy during a personalized consultation.
