Kybella
Say goodbye to stubborn submental fat with Kybella, a revolutionary injectable treatment offered at Baskin Aesthetics in Portland, Maine. Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to target and reduce the appearance of a double chin, giving you a more defined and contoured jawline without surgery.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area (under the chin), Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction of fullness. Once destroyed, these fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, providing long-lasting results.
Benefits of Kybella
Return to your daily activities shortly after treatment, with only mild swelling or redness.
