How does it work?

Kybella contains an ingredient known as deoxycholic acid. This substance occurs naturally in your body where it is secreted by the gallbladder to break down fat from your diet. When Kybella is injected into the fat beneath your chin, it tells your body to shed the excess fat. Once the cells are destroyed, they are gone, forever.
