What Is Injectable Fat Reduction?

Injectable fat reduction represents a revolutionary approach to contouring that uses specialized formulations to permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas. These treatments work by disrupting fat cell membranes, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by your body's lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Unlike non-invasive fat freezing or surgical liposuction, injectable fat reduction offers:

  • Precise, targeted treatment of small fat pockets
  • Permanent fat cell destruction
  • Gradual, natural-looking results
  • Minimal downtime
  • No incisions or anesthesia required

 

How Injectable Fat Reduction Works

The science behind injectable fat reduction is elegantly simple yet remarkably effective:

  1. Targeted Injection: The solution is precisely injected into subcutaneous fat
  2. Cell Disruption: Active ingredients break down fat cell membranes
  3. Natural Elimination: Your body's lymphatic system removes destroyed cells
  4. Permanent Results: Once eliminated, fat cells cannot regenerate

The result is a gradual reduction in fat thickness and improved contour in the treated area.

 

KYBELLA®: The Gold Standard in Injectable Fat Reduction

At Premier Dermatology & Aesthetics, we're proud to offer KYBELLA®, the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing moderate to severe submental fat (double chin). This groundbreaking treatment has transformed the way we address stubborn fat deposits without surgery.

What Makes KYBELLA® Unique?

KYBELLA® contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas, it permanently destroys fat cells, delivering noticeable, lasting results.

Key Advantages:

  • FDA-Approved: Rigorously tested for safety and efficacy
  • Permanent Results: Destroyed fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat
  • Customizable: Treatment tailored to your specific anatomy
  • Non-Surgical: No scalpels, sutures, or general anesthesia
  • Proven Track Record: Over 20 clinical studies with thousands of patients

Treatment Areas

While KYBELLA® is FDA-approved specifically for submental fullness (double chin), experienced injectors may use it off-label for:

  • Submental area: Eliminate double chin for a defined jawline
  • Jowls: Reduce sagging along the jawline
  • Bra bulge: Target small fat deposits around bra line
  • Knee fat: Contour inner knee area
  • Small pockets: Address isolated fat deposits

 

The KYBELLA® Treatment Experience

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment where we:

  • Evaluate your anatomy and fat distribution
  • Discuss your aesthetic goals
  • Review your medical history
  • Create a customized treatment plan
  • Explain expected outcomes and timeline

Treatment Process

  1. Mapping: We mark the precise injection sites
  2. Numbing: Topical anesthetic or ice for comfort
  3. Injection: Multiple small injections in a grid pattern
  4. Duration: 15-20 minute treatment session
  5. Comfort: Most patients report minimal discomfort

What to Expect After Treatment

  • Immediate: Swelling, mild bruising, or numbness (normal and expected)
  • 24-48 hours: Peak swelling (ice and compression help)
  • 1 week: Swelling begins to subside
  • 4-6 weeks: Fat reduction becomes visible
  • 3 months: Full results from each session apparent

Treatment Protocol & Results

Most patients achieve their desired results with 2-4 treatment sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the amount of submental fat, your aesthetic goals, and the individual response to treatment.

Some patients see dramatic improvement after 2 sessions, while others benefit from the full series of 6 treatments (the maximum).

Once KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, they're gone forever. Results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.

KYBELLA® is perfect for adults who:

  • Have moderate to severe submental fullness (double chin)
  • Want to avoid surgical procedures
  • Have good skin elasticity
  • Maintain a stable weight
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Are bothered by fat under the chin despite diet and exercise

Why Choose Premier Dermatology & Aesthetics for KYBELLA®?

At Premier Dermatology & Aesthetics, our expert injectors are extensively trained in facial anatomy, ensuring precise and safe treatment delivery for optimal results. We take a customized approach to each patient, tailoring treatments to your unique needs and anatomy rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol. Your safety is our top priority, which is why all treatments are performed in a medical setting with proper protocols and safeguards in place. As a comprehensive aesthetic practice, we offer a full range of aesthetic services, allowing us to address all your cosmetic concerns under one roof. With hundreds of successful KYBELLA® treatments performed, we have the proven experience to deliver the results you're seeking. Most importantly, we believe in honest consultations where we'll candidly assess whether you're a good candidate for treatment, ensuring you make an informed decision about your aesthetic journey.

Combination Treatments

To maximize your results and achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation, we often recommend combining KYBELLA® with complementary treatments. Consider pairing your injectable fat reduction with Sofwave to tighten any loose skin in the treatment area or enhance your newly defined jawline with strategic dermal fillers for optimal contouring. For those with prominent neck bands, neurotoxins can smooth these vertical lines, while our medical-grade skincare protocols will improve overall skin quality and texture. This multi-modal approach ensures you achieve the most dramatic and natural-looking transformation possible.
