Contour Your Chin and Define Your Profile
The area underneath the chin is a natural place for the body to deposit fat. Many of our clients are not happy with the look of fullness this can cause. Excess fat beneath the chin can be the result of normal weight gain, the aging process, or even your own genetics. Even those who live a healthy lifestyle and are at normal weight can experience a “double chin.”
For this problem, we suggest our Kybella in Sewickley! Kybella is a nonsurgical injectable treatment to contour the chin and eliminate excess fat. The active ingredient in Kybella—deoxycholic acid—is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and eliminate unwanted fat cells.

Benefits of Kybella in Sewickley
Permanent
While normal, varying levels of diet and exercise may exacerbate or change the profile under the chin, Kybella ensures that the fat cells underneath the chin are completely destroyed.
Natural
Kybella harnesses the power of molecules already naturally found in the body to reduce, break down, and destroy fat cells, then allow them to be eliminated without pain or harm to the client.
Cost-Effective
Using Kybella injections to treat your double chin in Sewickley will save you significant time, money, and pain versus traditional surgical methods.
Our Kybella Process
Step 1
Arrive on Time
We prefer that you arrive on time for your appointment so you can sit back and relax during your Kybella appointment. You are able to fill out most required forms during your consultation, so you should not have to arrive early for paperwork.
Step 2
Relax & Enjoy
Trust that you are in the hands of an experienced member of our esthetician team, and just take this time to enjoy the Kybella process. Kybella is not painful, and the only possible discomfort is the injection itself, so you can take the time to either chat with your provider, or sit back, relax, and listen to our calming music.
Step 3
Reschedule
For Kybella in Sewickley, most clients need anywhere from 3–6 sessions to experience the best possible results, so after your session, we’ll give you aftercare instructions and schedule for your next session. You won’t see your Kybella results immediately, but you will be able to see your renewed skin appear over the coming weeks!
How to Prep for Kybella
Medication
Avoid the use of blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, ginkgo biloba, garlic oil, flax oil, fish oil, vitamins A and E, and any other essential fatty acids for a week before and after treatment to minimize the risk of bleeding or bruising. If you are taking these medications under the direction of a physician, you should consult with them before discontinuing use.
If You Get Sick
Reschedule your appointment if you develop a cold, flu, infection, blemish, or rash in the area to be treated prior to your appointment.
Prior History
If you have a history of dysphagia or difficulty swallowing, please notify your specialist.
How to Get the Most From Kybella
Cold Compress
Apply cold compresses to the treatment area for 10 to 15 minutes as needed for swelling and redness.
Physical Activity
Avoid strenuous activity for at least 3 days after your injections.
Injection Site Care
Do not scratch, pick, or disrupt the area in any way. Do not massage or manipulate the injection site, either.
