Business Description
If you’re frustrated with the appearance of a stubborn double chin, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans share your frustration with their double chin, which is also known as “submental fullness.” Sometimes, no matter how much you eat right or exercise the fat just won’t go away. Luckily, there’s a foolproof, injectable treatment for double chins that literally melts fat away. It’s called Kybella, and we offer it at Dr. Golberg Wellness & Functional Medicine in Brooklyn, NY.It’s easy to dismiss a treatment that promises to melt away body fat. It sounds too good to be true. Kybella, however, is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment that’s proven to be effective. One reason it works so well is that it uses the body’s own natural chemistry to destroy body fat, which means it has minimal side effects and zero recovery downtime.
“Kybella” is the brand name for a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a bile acid the human body produces to help it break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into a double chin, this acid does the same thing it does in the digestive system: it attacks and breaks down the fat cells. Deoxycholic acid does what diet and exercise can’t due largely to some unique properties that our fat cells have.
For example, the number of fat cells in the human body remains more or less constant once we exit adolescence. Rather than making new fat cells when we gain weight and shedding fat cells when we lose weight, our body stores more fat in our existing fat cells when we gain weight. When we lose weight, the fat in those cells is metabolized and the cells shrink. If fat cells have settled in the chin, creating the appearance of submental fullness, those cells will still be there no matter how much weight we lose.
