FAT DISSOLVING, KYBELLA TREATMENT IN CORNELIUS, NC

FAT DISSOLVING, KYBELLA® SERVICES

Many people struggle with stubborn pockets of fat under the chin despite healthy habits—and it can be frustrating when no amount of diet or exercise seems to make a difference. At Meraki Aesthetics & Co., serving Lake Norman, Cornelius, and nearby areas, we offer Kybella® (also known as PCDC) to permanently break down fat cells in the submental area, helping you achieve a more sculpted, contoured jawline.

Using deoxycholic acid—a compound your body naturally produces to absorb fat—this injectable treatment targets and dissolves fat beneath the chin, with results that build over time. It’s a quick, non-surgical alternative to liposuction that fits easily into your schedule and offers lasting improvements without extended downtime. Stop hiding your profile—schedule your fat-dissolving consultation with Meraki Aesthetics & Co. today.

FAQ'S

Do you offer Kybella® in the Lake Norman, NC and Cornelius, NC area?

At Meraki Aesthetics & Co., we offer Kybella® treatments to clients in Lake Norman, NC, Cornelius, NC, and the surrounding areas. Our skilled professionals are dedicated to helping you achieve a more defined jawline and neck profile.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING MY APPOINTMENT?

Kybella or PCDC is injected during an office visit. For each treatment session we start by numbing our clients, then we disinfect the skin, measure and mark out the treatment area, and perform a series of injections. This injection process generally takes 15 to 20 minutes.

WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME LIKE?

You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after treatment, though you will have substantial swelling for the first few days. Keep social plans and work commitments in mind when scheduling your treatment. Swelling is generally resolved enough to return to work and workouts in 3 days. The remainder of swelling and inflammation will be completely resolved within one month. Results will develop gradually over time as the fat disappears.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

The number of treatment sessions required will vary between patients based on the amount and distribution of fat in the treatable area and personal treatment goals. Most people will require between two and three treatment sessions, but some may require as many as four or five. Treatment sessions will generally be spaced about four to six weeks apart. Results are permanent with additional treatments not expected once the desired outcome is achieved.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M A CANDIDATE?

Anyone with localized deposits of subcutaneous fat is considered ideal for Kybella or PCDC. Mesotherapy is also called Lipo Dissolve and can not only be used to treat localized fat but also treat cellulite. We always recommend scheduling a consultation with our providers to determine if Kybella or PCDC is right for you.

Is Kybella® safe?

The most common side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, areas of firmness, numbness, and redness, all of which resolve with time. There is also a small risk of nerve damage along the jawline which could lead to temporary asymmetry of the smile. For this reason, only experienced cosmetic injectors should perform these treatments.
