Say goodbye to stubborn and unwanted flabby areas without the unnecessary hassle!
Fat-dissolving treatments, also known as non-surgical fat reduction procedures, are cosmetic procedures designed to reduce localized fat deposits without the need for surgery. These treatments are typically targeted at specific areas of the body where stubborn fat tends to accumulate.
Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid): Kybella is an intradermal shot treatment used to reduce fat under the chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, which helps break down fat cells.
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile acids, including deoxycholic acid, play a role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats in the intestines. They help emulsify and break down fat molecules so that they can be more easily absorbed by the digestive system.
In the context of cosmetic procedures, deoxycholic acid is used in a product called Kybella. Kybella is an FDA-approved intradermal shot treatment for reducing moderate to severe fat below the chin, often referred to as submental fat or a “double chin.”
Here’s how Kybella works:
- Inoculation: Kybella is dosed directly into the targeted area beneath the chin.
- Fat Cell Breakdown: Deoxycholic acid disrupts the membrane of fat cells, causing them to break down.
- Natural Elimination: The body then naturally processes and eliminates the damaged fat cells over time.
