How Does Kybella Work?

The key ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid. This is a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in the breakdown of dietary fat. Once Kybella is injected, the molecule permanently breaks down the fat cells and prevents the area from storing fat in the future. By decreasing submental fat with Kybella, chin-face balance is restored.
