Coolsculpting and Kybella are popular cosmetic treatments for eliminating fat, commonly called double chin treatment. Both treatments use this technology to improve body structure for those who want to remove fat. Coolsculpting is a non-surgical treatment approved by the FDA for reducing stubborn fat. This technology freezes and destroys fat cells, which removes natural fat over time. On the other hand, Kybella in Los Angeles is an injectable treatment for removing unwanted fat under the chin. It is a synthetic of deoxycholic acid; the fat is destroyed naturally via the body's natural metabolic processes. It only targets fat cells and does not affect other tissues. A consultation with a qualified provider, such as Beverly Hills Med Spa, can help determine the best treatment option.
