Face & Body Sculpting
Lipolysis injections (Kybella) use deoxycholic acid — a molecule your body already makes to break down dietary fat — to permanently dissolve stubborn fat cells in targeted areas. It's best known for treating the double chin, but works beautifully along the jawline and in other small, exercise-resistant pockets.
Once treated fat cells are gone, they don't come back. Most plans involve two to four sessions spaced about six weeks apart, with visible refinement after each round.
What to Expect
The injections take only minutes after numbing. Expect noticeable swelling in the treated area for several days — this is the treatment working, and it resolves on its own. Firmness and small nodules under the skin are also normal as fat breaks down. Each session builds on the last, with visible refinement at four to six weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Kybella work?
It's deoxycholic acid — a molecule your body already uses to break down fat — injected precisely into stubborn pockets. Destroyed fat cells are cleared naturally and permanently.
How much swelling should I expect?
Noticeable swelling for several days to two weeks is normal and means it's working. Most clients plan sessions around social calendars accordingly.
How many sessions are needed?
Two to four sessions spaced about six weeks apart, depending on the amount of fat and your goal.
Is it really permanent?
Yes — fat cells destroyed by lipolysis do not regenerate. Significant weight gain can enlarge remaining cells, so stability protects results.
