Kybella Fat Dissolver

Eliminate Your Double Chin with Kybella at SkinMD!

If you're struggling with a double chin or submental fat that doesn’t seem to go away, even with diet and exercise, you're not alone. Many people experience stubborn fat in this area, but fortunately, Kybella provides a safe and effective solution. As the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fullness (the fat under your chin), Kybella can help you achieve a slimmer, more defined chin profile—without surgery.


At SkinMD, medspa in Dearborn, Michigan, we offer this treatment to help you look and feel your best.


How Kybella Works

Kybella contains Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected into the targeted area, Kybella works to destroy fat cells in the submental area (under the chin). Once these fat cells are eliminated, they cannot return, which means the results are permanent, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.


This treatment is specifically designed to target stubborn fat in the chin area, which can be challenging to reduce with just diet and exercise. If you're looking for a more contoured, youthful profile without the need for invasive surgery, Kybella is a fantastic option.

What to Expect During Kybella Treatment

The procedure is quick and relatively simple. During your appointment at SkinMD, one of our injectable experts will use a series of small injections to deliver Kybella directly into the submental fat. The entire process typically takes around 15-20 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule.


Kybella treatments are minimally invasive, however, some mild discomfort or a slight burning sensation may occur during the injection, which usually subsides quickly. We take care to ensure that your comfort is prioritized throughout the treatment.


Recovery and Aftercare

After your Kybella treatment, you may experience some swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the treated area. This is completely normal and should subside. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your SkinMD practitioner to maximize results and minimize discomfort.


You’ll be advised to avoid vigorous exercise for at least 48 hours, or until any swelling has gone down. Most people can resume normal activities the same day or within a few hours of the procedure. While there’s no significant downtime, you may notice swelling and discomfort for the first few days.


How Many Treatments Will You Need?

The number of Kybella treatments you’ll need varies depending on the amount of fat in the targeted area. Most patients require two to four treatments, spaced about one month apart. Your practitioner at SkinMD will assess your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan for you.


When Will You See Results?

Results from Kybella treatment are gradual. While you may begin to notice changes as early as four weeks, it typically takes up to six months to see the full effects. As fat cells are destroyed and your chin profile refines, you'll enjoy long-lasting results that enhance your overall appearance.

Sculptra and Long-Term Skin Maintenance

February 15, 2025
The Power of Patience: Why Sculptra Is an Investment in Your Skin’s Future In a world where instant gratification is often the norm, it can be hard to resist the temptation of treatments that promise quick, visible results. But when it comes to your skin, sometimes the best outcomes come from a little patience and planning. That’s where Sculptra shines. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that offer immediate results, Sculptra works gradually, offering long-lasting rejuvenation by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. If you’re looking for a treatment that enhances your skin’s future health and youthful appearance, Sculptra could be the perfect fit. Sculptra: A Gradual Investment in Your Skin Sculptra is not a quick fix—it’s a biostimulator that works by activating your body’s fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. Over time, as these cells produce more collagen, your skin’s texture improves, volume is restored, and wrinkles and sagging are visibly reduced. This natural process leads to a refreshed, youthful appearance that continues to improve over the course of several months. While dermal fillers may give you immediate volume and smoothness, Sculptra addresses the root cause of aging: collagen loss. With Sculptra , the effects are subtle and build gradually, creating a more natural look. Unlike the instant plumpness offered by other treatments, Sculptra’s benefits unfold over time, resulting in a more sustainable and long-term transformation. Plus, the results can last up to two years, making it a smart investment in your skin's future. A Long-Term Approach to Skin Rejuvenation Think of Sculptra as a way to “future-proof” your skin. The series of treatments are spaced out over weeks, allowing the collagen-stimulating effects to develop and settle in, helping you maintain a natural, youthful look without drastic changes. This gradual approach not only avoids the overly “done” look but also ensures that your results are more harmonious and sustainable. In essence, you’re investing in a younger, healthier version of yourself for the years to come. But Sculptra isn’t the only way to ensure long-term skin health. A daily skincare regimen focused on boosting collagen production and protecting your skin is essential. For example, sunscreen should be your skin’s best friend year-round. UV damage is one of the most significant contributors to skin aging, so applying a broad-spectrum SPF daily is vital in preserving your skin’s health and preventing premature wrinkles. Additionally, incorporating products that support collagen synthesis, like Vitamin C serums , can complement the effects of Sculptra by brightening and protecting your skin. For extra hydration and to improve skin elasticity, consider adding hydrating moisturizers and retinoids to your routine, which can help promote cell turnover and smooth fine lines.

DiamondGlow Microdermabrasion

February 15, 2025
Discover the Next Generation of Microdermabrasion with DiamondGlow®  When it comes to keeping your skin healthy, vibrant, and youthful, regular exfoliation is key. While traditional microdermabrasion treatments have long been a staple in skincare routines, there’s now a new, next-generation option that takes exfoliation to the next level: DiamondGlow®. At Skin MD, we offer this innovative treatment to help you achieve radiant, smooth, and youthful-looking skin. DiamondGlow® offers all the benefits of microdermabrasion, plus so much more. Let's dive into why this cutting-edge treatment should be your next skincare investment. What is DiamondGlow®? DiamondGlow® is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines gentle microdermabrasion with advanced skin infusion technology. Using a diamond-tipped wand, DiamondGlow® exfoliates the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and revealing a fresher, brighter complexion underneath. But that's not all. As the wand glides over the skin, it also performs an extraction process, removing debris from clogged pores, while simultaneously infusing the skin with professional-grade SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums that hydrate and nourish the skin. This all-in-one treatment provides the benefits of deep exfoliation, pore cleansing, and skin hydration without the downtime associated with many other facial treatments.

Skincare Products to Boost/Maintain Treatment Results

February 5, 2025
How Skincare Products Can Enhance Your Med Spa Treatments When you’re investing in professional treatments like microneedling, Botox, or laser facials, you want to ensure that the results last as long as possible. While in-office treatments provide immediate benefits, the right at-home skincare regimen can help maintain and even enhance those results. The combination of professional services and high-quality skincare products is the key to unlocking glowing, healthy skin. The Power of Skincare Between Treatments At Skin MD in Dearborn, Michigan, we know that skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for one person might not work for another, which is why we offer personalized consultations to create treatment plans tailored to your unique skin needs. And while our advanced services like microneedling or Botox are effective on their own, using the right skincare products can elevate the effects, helping to keep your skin healthy, rejuvenated, and youthful for longer. For example, after a microneedling session, your skin is primed to absorb products more effectively. Using the right serums, moisturizers, and sunscreens can amplify the results and help speed up the healing process. On the other hand, Botox helps to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, but a daily skincare routine with hydrating products will keep your skin nourished and plump, ensuring that the effects last as long as possible.
