Dermatologist discusses Kybella as treatment for submental fullness

By Dr. Mary Lupo

While the signs of aging are often considered the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the facial area, many don’t’ think of the problems associated with the jaw line that can be just as troublesome. Submental fullness, or the excess fat that gives the appearance of a “double chin,” is often a complaint of patients in the New Orleans, LA area. Dr. Mary Lupo has found the most effective treatment for this area of the body to be Kybella injections.

What is Kybella treatment?

Patients use Kybella to address the fat underneath the chin that can contribute to a heavier overall appearance. This FDA-approved injectable is best for contouring the jaw line and removing the excess fat without the need for surgical intervention. This breakthrough treatment has allowed Americans the ability to achieve a better look quickly and easily—and in a non-invasive manner!

Kybella is formulated with deoxycholic acid. This acid is naturally found in the body and it breaks down fats. By injecting this formula into the area of submental fullness, it can destroy these cells and allow the body to eliminate them with the natural metabolic processes. These injections also keep fat from accumulating in the future.

Kybella is:

• Affordable
• Safe
• Effective
• Non-invasive
• Fast
