KYBELLA\u2122 is a non-human and non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.\u00a0 When injected into subcutaneous fat under the chin, KYBELLA\u2122 causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.\u00a0 In clinical trials, many patients experienced visible results in two to four treatments, though up to six treatments may be administered.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to be able to offer a new option for patients with submental fullness,\u201d said Dr. Lawrence.\u00a0 \u201cSubmental fullness is a common yet undertreated condition that can detract from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance leading to an older and heavier look.\u201d<\/p>\n
Submental fullness can affect adults \u2013 both women and men \u2013 of all ages, weight and gender. Influenced by multiple factors including aging and genetics, submental fullness is often resistant to diet and exercise.\u00a0 According to a survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, nearly as many consumers are bothered by submental fullness (68 percent) as by lines and wrinkles around the eyes (71 percent).<\/p>\n
KYBELLA\u2122 should only be administered by a trained health care professional and only physicians who have participated in a training program will be able to purchase KYBELLA\u2122 and treat patients.<\/p>\n
According to studies, 79 percent of KYBELLA\u2122-treated patients reported satisfaction with their appearance in association with their face and chin. Patients also reported improvement in the visual and emotional impact of submental fat when asked how happy, bothered, self-conscious, embarrassed, old and overweight they felt following treatment in relation to the amount of their submental fat.<\/p>\n
The treatment is not covered by medical insurance.<\/p>\n
