[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 20224, member: 3"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]1450[/ATTACH] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today approved deoxycholic acid ([I]Kybella[/I], Kythera Biopharmaceuticals) to help reduce double chins. The approval follows a [URL="http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/841152"]unanimous vote[/URL] on March 9 by the FDA's Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committee in favor of [URL="http://reference.medscape.com/drug/kybella-deoxycholic-acid-999993"]deoxycholic acid[/URL] injection for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults. Kybella is a patented formulation of a pure, non animal-derived version of deoxycholic acid, which is an endogenous molecule that aids in the breakdown of dietary fat. Once injected, Kybella physically disrupts the cell membrane, causing the destruction of fat cells.
