Both treat submental fat, the fat under the chin, without surgery, but they work differently. Kybella is an injectable that destroys fat cells, while CoolSculpting Elite uses controlled cooling to freeze them. Back to 30 offers both, and your provider helps you choose based on your goals.
Kybella: an injectable that destroys fat
Kybella is the only injectable approved by the FDA to eliminate submental fat. When injected under the chin, it destroys the fat cells there to reduce the appearance of a double chin. The number of sessions depends on how much fat is under your chin, and once you reach your desired results, no further maintenance treatments are needed. It works best for clients with a moderate amount of fat under the chin.
CoolSculpting Elite: controlled cooling
CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells under the chin, helping you get a sharper jawline. There are no needles and no surgery.
