Fat Busting
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a medical technique that dissolves subcutaneous fat. Specific medications, vitamins, minerals, or other compounds are introduced into the fat layer under the skin. The goal of mesotherapy is to reduce localized fat deposits, improve the appearance of cellulite, and tighten the skin.
These injections cause the fat cells to break down and release their contents into the bloodstream, where they are metabolized and eliminated by the body. There is also an inflammatory process or controlled injury with stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to help tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
As with any medical procedure, mesotherapy carries potential risks and side effects, such as bruising, swelling, infection, and allergic reactions.
Kybella
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable medication used for the reduction of double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella works by destroying the fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated from the body through natural processes. The treatment typically requires a series of injections spaced a few weeks apart, and the number of treatments needed varies depending on the amount of submental fat and the individual’s desired results.
It is important to note that Kybella is not a weight loss treatment and is only indicated for the reduction of submental fat.
