About KYBELLA®
If you're looking for a way to improve your profile and get rid of stubborn fat cells, Kybella may be the proper treatment. Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. During your treatment session, your provider will carefully inject Kybella into the desired area. Over the next several weeks, the fat cells will be destroyed and eliminated from your body. You may need multiple treatment sessions to achieve your desired results. But once the fat cells are gone, they're gone for good! So if you're ready to say goodbye to your double chin and hello to a more youthful profile, schedule a consultation with Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center today.
Conditions KYBELLA® Treats
Kybella, a drug originally used for the treatment of gallstones, now has an entirely new use - fighting back against your own body's natural production of fat and water. By injecting Kybella into unwanted areas below the chin (submental area), this medicine will help dissolve that subcutaneous fat and reduce swelling in these treated areas by half!

Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center is proud to offer KYBELLA treatments to our clients. KYBELLA is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of submental fullness, or "double chin." The active ingredient in KYBELLA is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells. As a result, the treated area becomes noticeably thinner and more defined. Most patients see visible results after two or three treatments, and the effects are long-lasting. If you're unhappy with your double chin, Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center can help.
We understand that everyone has their own unique beauty goals. That's why our staff is specially trained in KYBELLA, a treatment that can help to improve the appearance of your chin and jawline. KYBELLA is a minimally-invasive treatment that uses injections of synthetic deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells. The result is a more defined chin and jawline, giving you a more youthful appearance. And because the treatment is minimally-invasive, there is no need for surgery or recovery time. So if you're looking for a way to help achieve your beauty goals, come to Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center and ask about KYBELLA. We'll be happy to help you achieve the look you desire.
Kybella FAQ’s
Is Kybella a permanent fix?
In most cases, the results should be permanent and fat cells under your chin will be unable to store more fat again. This means if you gain weight afterward some fat cells may be produced in the treated area but it would likely be minimal.
Will Kybella leave loose skin?
Kybella will typically not leave you with any excess sagging skin after removing stubborn fat cells from the chin. Kybella only targets the fat cells beneath the skin. However, it is recommended to follow up your results with a skin tightening treatment if you are looking for a more defined jawline.
Which is better Kybella or CoolSculpting?
The treatments are totally different—both in their method of fat removal and how they’re applied. Kybella is injected with very small needles or a cannula, which could be similar to those used for Botox Cosmetic injections. CoolSculpting uses cold temperatures to freeze the cells that hold your excess fat so it can easily flush out of the body! There's no single answer when deciding what treatment would work best; you should consult with one of our skilled providers during an initial consultation before making any final decisions on which treatment is best for you.
What's better Kybella or liposuction?
Liposuction treatment removes fat from your chin by sucking out the cells, while Kybella destroys them with a deoxycholic acid. The outcome of this procedure is heavily dependent on skin scarring and other factors to determine whether or not you'll have an improved neck profile. We recommend consulting with your doctor before making any decisions.
Who should not use KYBELLA®?
