Our Edmonds Kybella patients will begin to see results in the following 6-8 weeks after getting treatment. As with all treatments, individual results may vary.
What is Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid)?

Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat again. Deoxycholic acid is a manmade form of a substance your body makes that helps to breakdown fats.
