Kybella is a non-surgical, FDA-approved injectable treatment for submental fat. It contains an active ingredient called deoxycholic acid, which is a molecule the body produces naturally. This ingredient helps your body breakdown and absorb fat permanently. Kybella also helps by tightening the skin at the injection site through the inflammatory process it creates.
