Kybella - Gattonimed.com

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that permanently dissolves areas of unwanted fat. The active ingredient in Kybella is Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body. Kybella injections destroy fat cells which eliminates their ability to store or accumulate fat, providing a permanent fix to stubborn fat. Clinical trials demonstrated that even those patients who gained weight after Kybella injections did not see fat recur in the treatment area. Kybella can be injected anywhere you have unwanted pockets of fat, with the double chin, jowls, bra bulge, banana rolls, and inner and outer thighs being the most common treatment areas. Depending on the amount of fat in the treatment area, multiple Kybella injection sessions are usually required (scheduled 4-6 weeks apart
