At Wellness Dermatology, it takes a personalized approach to Kybella by carefully evaluating your facial structure, skin elasticity, and treatment goals to determine whether you are a good candidate for treatment.
GENTLE CARE. NATURAL RESULTS. CONFIDENT YOU
Fat Reduction
Kybella works by breaking down and destroying targeted fat cells beneath the chin and other small treatment areas.
Skin Tightening
The inflammatory process caused by treatment may also help create mild skin tightening as healing occurs.
Jawline Definition
As fullness decreases, patients often notice a more sculpted and refined jawline profile.
Kybella is an injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, a synthetic form of a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
During your consultation, We carefully evaluate whether Kybella is likely to produce a successful and natural-looking result for you.
“We prioritize honest expectations and natural-looking outcomes.”
