Hello beauties!!! Today we are going to discuss my favorite dynamic duo treatment for the stubborn “mom pooch”! Also, known as the “DP Mommy Makeover”. When you combine Kybella and Vivace Ultra the results are truly magical! If you don’t already know about the dramatic results each of these treatments can provide on their own, keep reading to learn more about them. Then I’ll tell you why combining the two can transform your lower abdomen!!
First- let’s talk about Kybella, the “Fat Dissolver”
Do you have an area of stubborn fat that no matter what diet or exercise you try, you can’t seem to reduce it? Well, I have a solution for you…insert Kybella! Kybella is an innovative non-surgical injectable treatment specifically designed to target and reduce fat cells. This treatment has gained a lot of attention in the cosmetic industry for its effectiveness and the convenience it offers compared to surgical options. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that plays a key role in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected into certain areas on the body, Kybella works by destroying fat cells, leading to a more defined and contoured jawline and neck, slimmer abdomen, slimmer thighs, amongst other areas on the body as well.
The Kybella treatment process is relatively straightforward and can be performed at a regular office visit. A typical session lasts between 15 to 20 minutes, making it a quick option for my patients with busy schedules. Before the injections, I’ll apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness following the treatment, but these side effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days.
Many of my patients require multiple treatment sessions to achieve optimal results and will see significant improvement after two to four sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart.
One of the most appealing aspects of Kybella is the permanent results! Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate, allowing patients to enjoy a more sculpted and slimmer appearance as long as they maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, it’s crucial for patients to have realistic expectations. Kybella is not a weight-loss solution, and it works best for individuals who are already close to their ideal body weight.
So now you can see why Kybella is such a diamond in the rough when it comes to addressing stubborn fat pockets. Its ability to deliver lasting results without the need for invasive surgery has made it a popular choice among so many patients.
Now let’s tighten the overlying skin with Vivace Ultra RF Microneedling
If you’ve been to my office, there’s a good chance you have either tried Vivace or heard me speak Vivace’s praises. It is a state-of-the-art microneedling treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) technology to promote skin rejuvenation and enhance overall skin texture. Vivace Ultra specifically addresses skin quality – leading to firmer, tighter, less crepey skin without significant downtime.
The procedure involves using a device equipped with fine needles that create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production.
The addition of radiofrequency energy enhances the treatment by delivering heat deeper into the skin layers, further promoting collagen remodeling and tightening the skin. This dual approach results in both immediate and long-term improvements in skin tone and texture.
A typical Vivace Ultra session lasts around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is usually applied to ensure patient comfort. Many individuals describe the sensation during the treatment as mild and tolerable. Following the procedure, patients may experience some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects generally subside within a few days.
One of the standout features of Vivace is its versatility. It can be used on various areas of the face and body, and it is great for all skin types because it can be customized based on individual skin concerns and goals. Many patients report noticeable improvements after just one session, but a series of treatments is often recommended to achieve optimal results.
Vivace also requires minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for those with busy lifestyles. Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after a treatment.
And now for the dynamic duo…
Combining Vivace Ultra treatments with Kybella will give a patient that slim down and shrin wrap effect, when working to tighten loose skin that has developed as a side effect of melting fat with Kybella. While Kybella specifically targets and reduces fat, leading to a more contoured abdomen, jawline or other areas of the face and body, Vivace will come in on the backside and work its magic by improving skin texture and tightness through microneedling and radiofrequency energy. By integrating these two treatments, patients can address multiple concerns and get the best possible results.
It can often be so rewarding and encouraging to lose stubborn fat in an area that just will not tone no matter what diet or exercises you incorporate. However, often times once we lose the fat we are left with sagging skin where the fat used to be. Vivace helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to tighter, more youthful skin.
The timing of these treatments can also improve results. Patients often see the best outcomes when Kybella sessions are completed first, allowing time for the body to metabolize the destroyed fat cells. Once the desired outcome is achieved, Vivace can be introduced. This approach ensures that each treatment works synergistically, maximizing the benefits without overwhelming the skin.
Truly, the combination of Vivace and Kybella offers the very best results for anyone seeking to reduce unwanted fat and tighten the skin. If you have any questions or are wondering if you might be the perfect candidate for this one-two punch, please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule a free consultation.
Until next time,
