Kybella/Fat Reducers
KYBELLA™ Treatment (Fat Reducers)
Improve your chin profile right here in the office
KYBELLA™ (deoxycholic acid) injection is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness.
What is submental fullness?
Submental fullness sometimes referred to as “double chin”, is a common yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. It can impact a broad range of adults, including both men and women, and can be influenced by several factors such as aging, genetics, and weight gain, and is often resistant to diet and exercise alone.
If you’re bothered by submental fullness, you’re not alone. 68% of people said they’re bothered by under-the-chin fullness or double chin. People are just as bothered by under-the-chin fullness as they are by lines and wrinkles around and under their eyes.
FAQ’s
What can I expect during my KYBELLA™ appointment?
You and your professional will customize your KYBELLA™ treatment regimen, including how many treatments you need, based on your desired chin profile. Your professional will give you a series of injections at each treatment session, which are spaced a month or more apart. Many patients experience visible contouring of their chin profile in two to three treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart. Up to 6 treatments may be administered.
Will I experience any side effects?
The safety profile of KYBELLA™ is well characterized. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness around the treatment area.
How long will the results last?
When injected into the fat under your chin, KYBELLA™ causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After the aesthetic response is achieved, retreatment with KYBELLA™ is not expected.

ULTRASOUND CAVITATION
The fat cavitation treatment is based on a safe ultrasound stimulation of the deeper visceral fats, which enables a local release of the lipolytic hormone.
This is lipolysis, the natural process by which our fat reserves (from our fat cells) are transformed into energy to be used up by our body (muscles, cells) generally in the form of exercise within 6 hours of treatment.
This cavitation ultrasound procedure is suitable for small areas, such as arms, around bra strap and muffin tops areas, or larger areas of the body, such as inner, outer front or back of thighs, tummy, and buttocks. It is recommended to undertake 6-10 treatments spaced one per week to initially complete the course of treatments. Apart from physical exercise and healthier nutritional choices, no other solution has been proven as effective to activate the natural way to lose fat; LIPOLYSIS. Lipolysis is the natural process that involves our fat reserves being transformed into energy and being used by our body.
FAT CAVITATION THE SCIENCE!
Fat Cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, it ruptures the fat cell membrane, thereby releasing its fat content, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the sweat gland, liver, and lymphatic system which eventually eliminate through urine.
Excess fat is released into the interstitial space between the cells during and following the cavitation treatment. Here it is metabolized to glycerol and fatty free acids. Glycerol that is water-soluble is absorbed by the circulatory system and used as an energy source. The insoluble fatty free acids are transported via the liver and kidneys and processed as if fatty acids from foods and then eliminated naturally from the body.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM A CAVITATION ULTRASOUND?
Clients can expect a local fat loss as the natural slimming process occurs. The ultrasonic fat cavitation treatment technique has proved very effective on any kind of fat; this includes visceral fats (intra-abdominal fats).
ARE THE EFFECTS LONG-LASTING?
Yes, ultrasound stimulation bypasses our central nervous system (which controls the release of noradrenaline), hence no fat rebound effect is observed.
HOW LONG DOES THE ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION TAKE?
Approximately 20 to 30 minutes during which ultrasound gel is applied on targeted areas. The probe is then guided over the targeted area transmitting low-level ultrasonic waves, which then send impulses to the target area which travel in a circular motion. This motion then causes micro-bubbles which, in turn, start to collide and implode. Shock waves then cause the emulsification of fat cells. After the ultrasound treatment, released energy must be consumed with light aerobic exercise or any substitute effective at burning calories. According to individual targets, it is recommended to do a course of 6-10 treatments spaced a week apart.
Radio Frequency
Radio Frequency or RF is the localized heating of a specific area. This treatment has been in the medical industry for 30 years. It was quite an uncomfortable treatment in the past due to it being in the forms of monopolar and bipolar. The new technology is like the sensation of a warm massage, very comfortable. This treatment has fairly immediate results with no downtime. The tissue is heated to a certain temperature that is constantly gauged by the therapist with the result being increased fibroblast cells thus tightening the skin and causing lipolysis (which is the fat cells being heated to drop excess liquid fat out of the localized area). Circumference loss, good skin texture, increased firmness, and laxity is the positive results of this exciting and innovative new technology.
PRE & POST TREATMENT REQUIREMENTS
It is really important to be well hydrated both before and after treatments, so please drink plenty of water. Clients should be drinking 8-12 glasses of water per day normally.
Eat a moderate diet, obviously the more fresh fruit, vegetables and meat the better.
Clients may sometimes experience nausea in the initial stages of treatment as toxins have been pushed around the body.
Do not smoke. If you do, please ensure that you push your next cigarette time after treatment out gradually post-treatment Medications, drugs and alcohol should not be consumed on the day of treatment. It is important to check with your therapist about your medications and be honest.
Please note it is of utmost importance that you get your individual heart rate up by exercising within 4–6 hours after fat cavitation and RF treatments as you want to use up the energy so fats do not resettle back in your system.
NO heating treatments are to be done on the day of the procedure such as laser or pulsed light treatments in the local area.
Keep your therapist updated with any changed health issues, new medications, or reactions as you continue with your treatments.
These treatments can be performed on the same day
*Be sure you have good hydration pre and post-treatment for best results.
