About
Kybella

What are Kybella?

Kybella® is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment offered by our Medspa that targets and reduces submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. This FDA-approved injectable treatment contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

How does Kybella work?

When administered by our practitioners, Kybella® works by selectively destroying fat cells in the treated area. The injection is carefully applied to the targeted fat beneath the chin, causing the destruction of fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissues. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these destroyed fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline.

What to expect?

During a Kybella® treatment, you can expect a personalized and comfortable experience at our Medspa. Our expert practitioners will begin by assessing your specific needs and designing a customized treatment plan. The procedure involves a series of small injections that are typically well-tolerated, with discomfort minimized through the use of numbing agents. Following the treatment, it is normal to experience temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, which generally subsides within a few days to a week. With proper aftercare and adherence to our guidance, you can anticipate gradual improvements and a more sculpted chin profile, ultimately achieving a more confident and youthful appearance.

  • Kybella® injections are generally well-tolerated by most individuals. While discomfort levels can vary, many clients report only mild to moderate sensations during the procedure. To ensure your comfort, a topical anesthetic or ice may be applied before the injections. If you have concerns about pain or discomfort, our practitioners will work closely with you to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

  • One of the advantages of Kybella® is that it typically involves minimal downtime. While you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area, these effects are temporary and generally resolve within a few days. Most clients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.

  • Kybella® provides long-lasting results. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they cannot return. However, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent new fat from accumulating in the treated area. With proper care, the results of Kybella can be permanent.

  • Kybella® is an FDA-approved treatment with a well-established safety profile. However, like any medical procedure, there can be potential side effects. The most common ones include swelling, bruising, numbness, redness, or discomfort in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and temporary, resolving on their own.

  • Before your Kybella® appointment, it's essential to inform your medical provider about any medications, supplements, or medical conditions you have. Our practitioners will provide you with specific instructions, but generally, it's recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol before the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising. Additionally, it's important to have realistic expectations and discuss your desired outcome during your consultation.

I wanted to look more refreshed without looking like I had any injections and what a difference! I look less tired and worn down and naturally myself. I actually look like I went on vacation...She evened out my lip on one side (super minimal) and turned my RBF to just resting! LOL.. The swelling was so minimal by the time I left my appointment but by the morning, it was gone so that was a plus.

  • "Definitely a YES! First, I am a licensed RN who used to do medical Aesthetics, so I am PICKY. I have followed Sheri from her other employers to her now new location. How good is she? I live outside the US and I fly in for Sheri to do my Sculptra. Her Botox is on point. Expertly injected so its maximized for effectiveness. Sheri has an amazing eye. She's great at not going too far. I bruise very easily and I've had far less bruising with her than other places I've tried. I never look "done" and I'm constantly complemented that I look far younger than my 51 years. I'm comfortable enough with her now that I can just say "What do I need?" And she does what she sees I need. I never feel oversold. She gives me exactly what my face needs to be refreshed. She has great product knowledge and is very comfortable talking through options. She's done my face, hands and added a little booty to my backside. Definitely worth getting to know Sheri- your face will thank you!"

  • "First off, Sheri is an expert at what she does. I’ve been a client of Sheri’s for about 2 years now and there’s a reason why I keep coming back to her. I live in Sacramento but once I realized she opened a medical spa in San Jose, I happily made the trip. The medical spa itself is located inside MySalonSuites, where there is ample parking inside of the garage with signs guiding you where to park. Sheri is always very kind and caring when she’s listening to my concerns & goals. She lets me know how my aesthetic goals can be achieved, always making sure that it looks natural and soft in the end. Sheri also has a very calming presence, making each experience extremely comfortable from start to finish. I would recommend anyone to Sheri and can’t wait to visit again when it’s time for some more filler!"

    — Tiffany G

  • "WOW! I've been getting Botox for my TMJ for three years, and yesterday I had my first experience with Dr. Sheri. First off, she is the sweetest! She is also incredibly knowledgeable and thoroughly explained everything. The crazy part??? It was completely PAINLESS! After three years of this procedure, I've never had a pain-free experience until now. Dr. Sheri even took the time to find Botox coupons on Allē to make my services more affordable. Oh and I even tried to give her a monetary tip, as other places typically accept tips, but Dr. Sheri politely declined, explaining that it’s illegal for medical professionals to accept tips 😳 good to know!! She is the most experienced and honest medical aesthetician I’ve ever met. I highly recommend her!"
