Vernon Hills, IL, July 25, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Ritacca Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa will be the first medical spa and cosmetic surgery center in Illinois to offer Kythera Biopharmaceutical Inc.’s injectable drug, Kybella, a solution that destroys adult submental fat. Currently, the only options for fat removal in the double-chin area or neck area are liposuction - until now.

The Kythera Biopharmaceutical drug named, Kybella, is identical to deoxycholic acid - a solution that aids the body to absorb fats that are naturally produced by the body, according to the FDA. Kybella is an injection administered into the fat tissue in the submental area (under the chin) and works to destroy fat cells. As of right now, Kybella is only FDA approved for the submental area. This is a big advancement in the cosmetic surgery industry.
