There are a few signs of aging that seem to creep up on us when we least expect it. But for most of these unwanted signs, we get our fair share of products and treatments designed to keep them at bay. Wrinkle creams, injectable fillers, skin-rejuvenating treatments are incredibly easy to find these days, keeping our faces looking their best.

But, what about that skin on your chin that seems to have doubled over the last however many years?

The double chin has long been a bone of contention for both women and men since the beginning of time. As we age, gain or lose weight, or follow on a hereditary path, subcutaneous fat deposits and accumulates around the neck, hence sagging downward leading to the formation of a second chin. Double (and sometimes triple!) chins can occur for anybody, regardless of age or gender.

The good news for people wondering how to handle this issue? Precision Skin Institute, a leading full-service center for medical, cosmetic, and surgical dermatology, has just what you need to get back to the days of having just one tight and taut chin.

The tool we offer to help reduce the appearance of a double chin?

KYBELLA®

KYBELLA®, in short, is a brand new fat melting tool designed to take aim at that stubborn extra skin under your chin. It is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”

And here is precisely how it works:

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal

Many people immediately think of liposuction or facial reconstruction surgery when becoming frustrated with their double chin appearance. Surgery can be a more complicated and painful way of reducing the appearance of a double chin. And while many people opt for this choice as a solution for unwanted extra skin, imagine how much more simple it would be to forego the knife and instead, destroy those fat cells with more simple treatments.

At Precision Skin Institute, we’re so happy to offer you this easy, effective alternative to help yet another part of your body look its best!
