What Is Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections use synthetic deoxycholic acid (the same molecule your body uses to break down dietary fat) to permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Kybella is the most well-known FDA-approved option, specifically designed for submental fat (double chin).
How the Treatment Works
The injections cause fat cell membranes to break down, and the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed cells over several weeks. Most patients need 2–4 treatment sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Once fat cells are destroyed, they cannot return, making results permanent.
