As we get older, it is normal to experience the undesired signs of aging, including wrinkles and lines. Whether the actual culprit is age or genetics, you may get to a point where you want to pursue cosmetic treatment.

At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, CA, we are here to help you reach your cosmetic goals and provide you with a list of your best options for your needs. Too often, patients assume their only option is surgical intervention. However, surgery isn’t the only option available.

You are most likely familiar with facelift procedures. A facelift can counteract the negative signs of aging, but if you are looking for alternative long-term rejuvenation options that do not include a facelift, you’ve come to the right place!

Choosing the Best Rejuvenation Treatment for You

Botox/Dysport

While Botox and Dysport aren’t the exact same product, each is a brand of a botulinum toxin type A injectable that treats forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and more.

Each of these injectables are popular at our facility because they are both minimally invasive. You can receive quick, effective results without surgery. Injections are generally administered every four to six months, take about fifteen minutes to perform, and require no recovery or downtime.

Depending on the patient’s specific needs and post-treatment goals, Dr. Kato can help determine whether Botox or Dysport is the best option.

Fillers

Our facility offers a variety of fillers to choose from, such as Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Restylane, and Refyne/Defyne.

Dermal fillers are a popular choice at our office, and when injected by a skilled and trained professional, can effectively fill in wrinkles and facial lines. The purpose of fillers is to add volume to the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Fillers a composed of a smooth gel with powerful active ingredients that can be injected quickly and safely. There is no downtime or recovery period associated with fillers, so it is perfect for patients that are on the go.

Though the fillers we offer ultimately have the same agenda, depending on skin type, tone, and post-treatment goals, a patient may choose one dermal filler over the other. After a quick and pain-free consultation, we can determine which filler would be best for you.

Sculptra

Sculptra is an injectable that can effectively soften the appearance of wrinkles, as well as restore volume to the face and replenish collagen to the skin. Due to Sculptra’s main ingredient—Poly-L-Lactic Acid—results can last up to two years.

Patients pursuing Sculptra will often need to receive multiple injections, generally two to four treatments six weeks apart. The solution will be injected deep into the dermis, allowing it to reach the deepest levels of the skin. Often considered a “pain-free” injection, topical cream and anesthetic can be used upon a patient’s request.

Unlike a traditional facelift, there is no downtime or recovery period needed after a Sculptra treatment. Temporary side effects may include swelling, redness, tenderness, and/or bruising—which are all normal and will subside within a few days.

Kybella

You don’t have to pursue a full facelift procedure to get rid of your double chin; Kybella can give you the sleeker neckline you’ve always wanted. This simple, prescribed medication can permanently eliminate your double chin following a few minor injections.

FDA-approved, Kybella’s main ingredient is deoxycholic acid. This specific acid is a fat-burning substance that occurs naturally in the body. When deoxycholic acid is injected underneath the chin, it effectively eliminates the fat cells that cause submental fullness. After the fat cells are destroyed, they are naturally flushed from the body and never return.

PRP Facial

PRP (platelet rich plasma) facials are becoming more and more popular among patients, particularly those who want powerful, rejuvenating results. To achieve these results, we use components of the patient’s own blood, resulting in an easy, quick, pain-free experience.

The process begins by gently creating small tears on the desired treatment area through microneedling and spreading the PRP serum over these tears. PRP instantly creates volume, successfully lifting features and filling in wrinkles. This serum stimulates cell growth, encouraging the migration of fresh cells to the surface of the skin.

Following treatment, patients are permitted to immediately return to their daily schedules. Mild side effects may include redness, soreness, and/or swelling, but there is no need for pain medication. Multiple treatments may be necessary for maximum results. Depending on the patient and number of treatments received, results could last anywhere from nine months to two years.

Nova Threads

Another popular non-surgical alternative to a Facelift is the thread lift. Nova Threads are absorbable sutures that lift sagging skin to create a rejuvenated appearance without surgery. Best of all, a thread lift is an in-office procedure that takes only thirty minutes and does not require anesthesia. These sutures are made with polydioxanone and can be safely absorbed by the body after placement.

There are two types of sutures used for this procedure and both accomplish different but effective results. Barbed sutures are used to pull the skin and mimic a lower facelift. Smooth sutures, on the other hand, are used to promote collagen production without any tightening effects.

If you elect barbed sutures, Dr. Kato will place the threads with very fine needles underneath the skin. Then, they are pulled taut to create a lifting effect that results in a tighter jawline, the elimination of lines and jowls, and lifted cheeks.

It’s common to want to fight the negative signs of aging. You don’t have to get a facelift or other invasive procedure to accomplish this goal. Invasive procedures are often painful, expensive, and require recovery time. Instead, take advantage of the non-surgical treatments aesthetic medicine has to offer.

If you’re tired of costly eyelash extensions, fear your falsies falling out, or are feeling weighed down by heavy layers of mascara, you’ll be happy to learn that we offer Latisse.

Latisse can you help you grow thicker, darker, and longer lashes naturally for a flirty, fluttery look so that you never have to schedule another lash extension appointment again.

Reasons to Avoid Eyelash Extensions

There’s a good chance that you’re familiar with eyelash extensions, as well as false eyelashes. While extensions and false eyelashes technically achieve the same goal, they do so very differently. False eyelashes, or “falsies,” are designed for temporary use, often just one day. Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and can last for up to 12 weeks.

Eyelash extensions are fake, individual eyelashes that are glued on one by one to natural eyelashes by an aesthetician. As the real lashes grow, so will the extensions, until both eventually fall off.

While extensions may seem like a good idea, they may not be your best choice. This option requires having the eyelashes filled every two to four weeks, resulting in expensive and time-consuming sessions. You also must avoid using any sort of oil-based cleanser or product that could possibly touch your lashes, creating further inconveniences and expenses.

Other setbacks to choosing eyelash extensions include the “fall out process.” Extensions will fall out along with your natural eyelashes. You will be losing lashes in between fillings, and there’s really nothing you can do except wait.

Following your fill, you will have to wait 12-24 hours before showering, and you will need to take extra precaution while doing so. Any water that directly touches the adhesive used to place the lashes can weaken, causing the lashes to fall out prematurely. Then, it will be necessary to blow dry your lashes.

If you have sensitive eyes or allergies, then eyelash extensions could pose a problem. It has been known for those with allergies to experience burning or discomfort while having eyelash extensions put on—this isn’t normal. If you do feel any discomfort, then eyelash extensions are most likely not for you.

Thankfully, there is a superior alternative available: Latisse.

About Latisse

Latisse achieves a more natural look than extensions because its results are natural. The lashes you will be showing off with Latisse will be 100% yours.

Further, Latisse is safe and FDA-approved.  Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, is often found in eye drops as a glaucoma medication, so it is very safe to use near your eyes.

Applying Latisse is relatively easy; the small bottle of solution comes with a supply of sterile, one-time use applicators. Patients need to brush the liquid onto the upper eyelash line. This same liquid will naturally transfer to the lower eyelids as you blink but should not be applied there directly.

Overall, it’s much easier than having to schedule extension fills every two weeks, placing and removing falsies, or poking your eye with a mascara wand (we’ve all been there).

Latisse has been proven to work for almost all patients. After the conclusion of a 16-week study, participants saw a 25 percent increase in length, a 106 percent increase in fullness, and an 18 percent increase in darkness. While Latisse does have a cosmetic appeal, it still must be prescribed to patients by a doctor.

As with most medications, side effects have been experienced, such as red and/or itchy eyes. However, the pros outweigh the small cons of this treatment. Latisse is safe, affordable, easy-to-apply, convenient, and effective. The results are also lasting; as long as you keep applying Latisse regularly, you will continue to experience, longer, fuller, darker eyelashes.

At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, we can fully walk you through the treatment process, informing you of what to expect and how to properly care for your eyelashes. We want this to be an easy, pain-free experience that you enjoy. If you have questions or concerns regarding this product and your candidacy, we are here to help.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting longer, fuller eyelashes. From safety to convenience, to effectiveness and price, we suggest ditching eyelash extensions and growing your natural lashes out with Latisse.

Life can often be stressful. Whether that stress stems from the office, your relationship, or other daily struggles and worries, the stress is still present—and it’s unhealthy. To add insult to injury, when you’re stressed, it shows, and usually on your face. Stress can take the form of unwanted lines, wrinkles, or creases.

However, at Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, we offer a convenient and affordable treatment that can successfully smooth and revive your appearance.

Do you need or want to freshen up the skin on your face? Learn more about PRP today!

PRP treatments (platelet-rich plasma) first emerged as innovative treatments for sports injuries. Today, however, the very same treatments can rejuvenate your appearance. Known as a PRP facial, this procedure has become popular among celebrities, as well as patients who want a fresher, smoother look. Specifically, PRP facials address the root of the aging process by using the patient’s own blood in an easy, fast, and relatively pain-free manner.

To start, the platelet-rich plasma is spread over the entire face as a serum. This serum contains a myriad of components that are conducive for healing, including fibroblasts. Then, we use a collagen induction therapy method to create tiny holes into which the serum will be absorbed. Once the absorption takes place, volume is instantly created, filling both sunken features of the face and deep wrinkles. Further, the serum is rich with natural growth factors, fades age spots, and builds collagen into the dermis.

As a result, the PRP facial treatment improves skin texture, tone, and overall quality. This creates a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Most individuals are overly pleased to learn about the variety of benefits offered by the PRP facial. For example, since the serum used in the treatment comes from each patient, there is no risk for infection, allergic reaction, or rejection. Simply put, this is a completely safe, reliable, and all-natural process to smooth and revive your appearance.

One of the most popular factors of the treatment, is that downtime is not extensive. After the procedure, slight redness and puffiness should be expected for a two-day period. Working patients can have this procedure on a Friday, take the weekend to recover, and be back in the office by Monday.

The actual treatment itself takes roughly a half an hour to complete, during which, most patients report no feelings of discomfort. For most patients to reach optimal results, we recommend a series of three treatments at one-month intervals.

As previously stated, patients with all skin types are welcome to schedule a consultation for the PRP facial. The ideal patient is someone who wants a fresher look, but without the expense, downtime, and inconvenience of facelift or other types of surgery. However, individuals who are currently taking blood thinning medication or are prone to blood clots should not consider this procedure.

As with any type of cosmetic treatment or procedure, there is always the possibility of negative side effects. PRP facial patients may experience redness, soreness, and/or swelling. Yet, these side effects are only temporary, and if they do occur, they generally subside within just a few days. Following treatment, it will be necessary to avoid direct sunlight.

With age, our facial appearance tends to change. However, with PRP facial, we can revive our appearance and enjoy better skin.

Whether it’s age, stress, or just genetics, hair loss is an unfortunate occurrence for both men and women. But at Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, CA, we offer a convenient and affordable hair restoration procedure that will help you regain your confidence, allowing you to look and feel your absolute best.

For some individuals, hair is an important quality, perhaps even what makes them feel most confident. Hair is also often one of the first features noticed when meeting or greeting another person. And though it’s not right or fair, appearances generally play an intricate role in life, in one aspect or another.

With the development of hair restoration techniques, there is a myriad of treatment options to choose from today. One of the safest and most popular procedures performed by Dr. Kato is PRP hair restoration. This treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is a serum created from the patient’s own blood. This serum promotes healing and regeneration. After it’s injected into the scalp, a healthy and nourished environment forms, ultimately stimulating the growth of formerly inactive hair follicles.

If you are suffering from one of the following conditions, PRP for hair growth could be for you:

While this procedure can be life-changing for many, certain individuals should not pursue PRP hair restoration, or at least converse with their doctor before scheduling an appointment. Particularly, those suffering from blood and platelet disorders, liver disease, or cardiovascular instability could have experience complications during or after treatment. However, all interested parties will receive a medical consultation with one of our physicians to better assess if this treatment is for them and their needs.

Not only is our hair restoration treatment completely safe and comfortable, but the process is relatively quick and simple, too. After injection of the serum, which is a minimally invasive process, the scalp and hair follicles are repaired and nourished. Hair loss slows down, and areas of the scalp that were previously bare due to inactive follicles are stimulated to encourage regrowth.

Potential patients are always happy to discover that hair restoration treatment does not require or include incisions or sutures. More so, because the serum used is made from each patient’s cells, infections and allergic reactions will not occur. While other restoration treatments are generally long, painful, and require lots of downtime to recovery, PRP at Aesthetic Art is simple, gentle, and takes fifteen minutes to perform.

Before the procedure begins, the patient’s scalp will be numbed, ensuring the individual is comfortable. Most of our patients do not mention pain or discomfort and spend the length of the procedure relaxing. The patient can go home immediately after their treatment.

When it comes to PRP hair restoration, many prospective patients are curious as to how many treatments they will need. The answer is simple: every individual is different. Factors such as the area being treated and the rate of hair loss will better determine the number of treatments required for successful results. It is common to receive four treatments, with one treatment being performed each month.

It is typical to see change within three to six months. It is imperative to remember that every individual is different. Therefore, depending on how your body reacts to treatment, the number of treatments you receive, and the degree of hair loss, it may take a little longer for your results to become noticeable.

Because it is our goal to assist as many individuals as possible, we do offer an alternative to PRP hair restoration. This alternative treatment uses Mesomedica sera for anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable using their blood for the process. Our MesoHairGro serum can also successfully nourish the scalp, as well as strengthen hair shafts. With the aid of essential vitamins, including Pro-Vitamin B5, biotin, thiamine, and Vitamin B6, the cause of poor hair growth is treated and corrected.

Let’s face the truth: Hair loss is not something you can control. It’s not necessarily fair that you have to experience it, but it happens. However, just because it does or has happened to you, doesn’t mean you have to sit back and live with it.

Since PRP was introduced to the cosmetic world, it has been giving patients powerful facial rejuvenation and hair restoration results they love! Even better, it has been doing so naturally. If you haven’t heard of PRP, you are going to be glad you did. Before you schedule a consultation, here are five must-know facts about the popular and effective procedure:

 

Schedule your consultation and experience PRP’s amazing results!

The wedding day is getting closer—how exciting! And while many people believe that this day is the bride’s day, that is not necessarily true. After all, the groom plays a big part in the event, too. Therefore, he also deserves to look and feel his absolute best!

At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, CA, we offer a wide variety of services for both women and men. Whether it is your wedding day, birthday, or just a Saturday night out on the town, we can help boost your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Better yet, most of our procedures are relatively fast-acting, pain-free, affordable, and require little-to-no downtime. Simply put, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain with the assistance of our trained and skilled professional, Dr. Kato.

Many believe that cosmetic surgery is for women and women only. These individuals are wrong. While Botox, fillers, and facelifts may be more popular amongst the female population, that does not mean men are not welcome to partake in the action. Remember, there is no rule or law that states men cannot benefit from a cosmetic procedure, especially if his wedding day is looming in the future.

While most of the procedures offered at Aesthetic Art can be pursued by men, we do have some specific options that men tend to gravitate towards, such as the PRP facial and hair restoration.

The PRP facial, also known as the “platelet rich plasma” facial, is a state-of-the-art regenerative treatment that actively attacks the negative effects of the aging process. Specifically, this treatment uses components of the patient’s own blood, resulting in a simple, quick, and pain-free experience.

The facial is performed with the use of a dermal filler. Platelet rich plasma is injected into the target area on the face, creating an instant volume that lifts sunken features and fills wrinkles. The facial’s healing serum stimulates cell growth, allotting for fresher cells to migrate to the surface of the skin.

The benefits of the PRP facial include:

Within just a few short weeks, you will be able to notice improvement in your appearance. Better yet, following treatment, there is no downtime. Patients are able to immediately return to their daily schedules. Soreness, redness, and swelling are all normal, but will subside within a few days.

This is the ideal treatment for patients who want to avoid the inconveniences of plastic surgery. However, PRP facials are not for individuals who are taking blood thinning medication or have issues with blood clotting.

With today’s technology, not only can your appearance become fresh and younger-looking, but your hair can become thicker and fuller, too.

If you suffer from hair loss, then you want to learn about PRP hair restoration. This new and innovative method uses platelet rich plasma (like the facial mentioned above) to give you the look you want and deserve. This plasma, a serum which is created from the patient’s own blood, contains a concentrated amount of proteins that assist in healing and regenerating a healthy environment once injected into the scalp. More so, hair loss can be stopped or slowed down without a painful procedure and weeks of downtime. The entire process takes about 30 to 45 minutes, after which, the patient is able to instantly return home.

Generally speaking, any man – or woman – currently experiencing hair loss could be an ideal candidate for this procedure. However, this is not the best option for those suffering from blood or platelet disorders, liver disease, or cardiovascular issues. For your safety, if you are interested in this procedure, you will first receive a medical consultation with one of our physicians to ensure this treatment is appropriate for you and your current condition.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where a lot of weight is put on how we look. But more so, there comes a time or a special event, like a wedding day, when we want to look like the best version of ourselves. Aesthetic Art can help you accomplish this goal.

Besides PRP facials and hair restoration, we have a myriad of other procedures available for all needs, including: Botox/Dysport, dermal fillers, Sculptra, Kybella, and more! Believe it or not, men, this is your special day, too.

She will be happy to assist in determining the best skin care treatment for you and your needs.

Further, both dermal fillers and Botox are popular options for individuals who wish to fight the unattractive signs of aging.

These fillers have been known to reverse sagging, eliminate wrinkles and lines, and boost volume, allowing the patient to glow!

Better yet, dermal fillers are quick and easy and require little to no downtime following the process. Treatments are also safe and affordable. Dermal fillers available at Aesthetic Art include Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Restylane, and Refyne/Defyne.

There’s a big possibility that you have heard of Botox. Though you may be familiar with the injectable, how much do you really know about it?

Botox is a popular, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. This treatment offers many incentives for individuals since it is relatively pain free, quick to administer, and doesn’t require downtime. Though it is common to experience redness and mild bruising, these symptoms do not last long. You will notice results quickly, too.

While every individual has their own cosmetic goals, Botox is often used to treat the following symptoms of aging and stress:

Other injectables offered by Dr. Kato include Dysport, Sculptra, and Kybella.

Lastly, many patients enjoy our PRP Facial. This facial is performed by injecting platelet-rich plasma into critical areas of the face, creating instant volume to lift sunken features of the face, as well as fill out deep wrinkles. This treatment stimulates cell growth, encourages the migration of fresher cells to the surface of the skin, and creates a stronger collagen structure.

Planning and getting ready for a wedding can be stressful and the effects of this stress can be manifested on your facial appearance. You don’t want this to happen, and now, you don’t have to let it happen! Erase the signs of stress on your face today. After all, you and your entire bridal party should be glowing for the big day!

Here are five quick facts to know about this amazing treatment:

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Maya Kato to see if this procedure is right for you.

For every individual currently unhappy with his or her appearance, good news: At Aesthetic Art Facial Rejuvenation, we offer a variety of procedures to get rid of unwanted lines, wrinkles, and fat, allowing you to look and feel your absolute best. Better yet, many of the treatments offered at our Palm Springs, CA facility are non-invasive. B. Maya Kato, MD is an educated, skilled, and trained professional who has one goal: ensuring complete patient satisfaction.

Are you ready to be informed about the benefits of non-invasive procedures?

First, before you become aware of the benefits offered by our treatments, it is necessary to learn which non-invasive, or minimally invasive procedures we offer. From undesired age spots to fat build up, getting older can be a cruel process. Therefore, a variety of services are conveniently available at our facility for all wants and needs, including the following:

While each of these options have their own individual strengths, they all share one beneficial element in common: these procedures are non-invasive. However, what is so great about a non-invasive procedure?

Non-invasive procedures are generally less painful than other types of procedures. Since there is (typically) no cutting or need for an incision, these treatments, at most, offer some mild discomfort, for which a light pain medication can be prescribed. Yet, even the need for medication is rare. Because there is no pain (or less pain) involved in these types of procedures, patients do not have to worry about long recovery periods or taking time off from work and/or their daily activities.

Non-invasive procedures require less, and often, no downtime. As mentioned above, no pain also means no recovery time. To take that point a step further, it is significant to note that most individuals who receive a non-invasive procedure immediately return to work following treatment. Because there is no downtime, there is also no need to miss work (i.e. use a vacation or sick day) or any other daily event or activity.

Non-invasive procedures are more convenient than other procedures. The procedures listed above do not require anesthesia or the need for anything similar. This results in fast, convenient treatment. In fact, some of the treatments, such as Kybella, can be performed in as quickly as 15 to 20 minutes. Therefore, in the past, patients have opted to have the procedure performed on their lunch hour, before immediately returning to work.

Non-invasive procedures offer fewer risks and complications. Again, because you’re not going “under the knife,” there is less possibility for something negative to occur during or after the treatment has been completed. Sure, non-invasive procedures, just like any other type of cosmetic procedure, can result in consequences. However, consequences are rare, especially when the procedure is performed by a skilled and trained professional. Better yet, minor side effects of non-invasive procedures generally only include slight redness, numbness, and bruising, all of which quickly subside within a week or two. Further, patients who pursue non-invasive procedures do not have to worry about unattractive scars or wounds.

Non-invasive procedures are more affordable than other procedures. Since non-invasive procedures are performed quickly, without anesthesia and overnight hospital stays, you will discover that these treatments are offered at a better rate.

Finally, non-invasive procedures often offer faster results than other procedures and surgeries. This is due to several factors, but mostly because there is no need for incisions, meaning you will not have to be stitched up following surgery, or worry about a particular body part or area needing time to heal before the results become visible.

To sum it up, the benefits of non-invasive procedures are endless, with the most popular elements including the following:

Of course, depending on a patient’s wants or needs, sometimes, a non-invasive procedure is not a possibility. You should speak to your doctor regarding your cosmetic treatment goals to discover whether or not they can be accomplished without the need for invasive surgery. As a result, you could save time, money, hassle, and energy.

To learn more about the benefits of non-invasive procedures offered by B. Maya Kato, MD at Aesthetic Art Facial Rejuvenation, contact our professional staff in Palm Springs, CA today by calling (760) 610-5558.

Are you currently unhappy with your appearance? Specifically, do you have a double chin that is holding you back? Unfortunately, we live in a world where a lot of weight is put upon our appearance, more so, how we look to others. And while you should never worry about people judging you on your looks, you do deserve to be happy.

Available at Aesthetic Art Facial Rejuvenation in Palm Springs, CA, Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can successfully destroy fat cells under the chin, ultimately improving your profile. That’s right: say goodbye to your double chin with Kybella.

Used in adults to help improve their appearance and attack unwanted fat beneath the chin, Kybella is a prescription medicine that has, as mentioned above, been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since 2015. Further, this treatment is performed using a nonsurgical injection technique, making it more convenient to pursue.

According to Healthline.com, during an initial Kybella clinical trial, 82.4 percent of people reported that changes in their appearance were significantly improved, meaning a majority of patients were met with effective results. More so, during this same clinical trial, the treatment was deemed both safe and effective.

To attack the fat cells under the chin, Kybella uses a series of deoxycholic acid injections, making it impossible for fat to be stored in the area. The best candidates for Kybella treatments are those who are dissatisfied with their appearance, mainly their double chin, as well as individuals who are at least 18 years in age. However, Kybella may not be the best choice for those who have either had or are planning to have facial surgery, trouble swallowing, pregnant, nursing, or have an infection or medical condition.

If you would like to know whether or not you would be a good candidate for Kybella treatments, make sure to contact your doctor. You should be prepared to answer personal questions, particularly about your health and medical history.

Since Kybella is a nonsurgical treatment, there is not much that needs to be done prior to treatment. You will have to call the Palm Desert, CA facility to schedule your appointment. It will also be necessary to completely wash your face before treatment, as doing so could reduce the risk for infection. To prevent post-treatment bruising, make sure you avoid ibuprofen and other, like medications.

One of the biggest benefits of scheduling a Kybella treatment: the treatment itself only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Therefore, many individuals opt to have the procedure performed during the lunch hour, before returning to work or their normal, daily activities. Further, no downtime is needed following treatment.

The number of treatments needed will be determined by the individual, depending on his or her treatment goals. To achieve the best results, multiple Kybella treatments may be needed. A patient can receive up to six Kybella treatments, with a month needed between each session. Remember, though, results are permanent, as fat will no longer be stored underneath the chin.

As with any type of cosmetic treatment or procedure, risks and complications are always a possibility – Kybella treatments are no different. Yet, when the procedure is performed by a trained professional, the chances of risks and/or complications occurring are less likely to take place.

It is significant to note that after treatment, it is typical to experience swelling, bruising, and numbness under the chin. However, these minor issues are only temporary. If you do happen to develop an uneven smile or facial weakness, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Other possible side effects of a Kybella treatment can include pain, redness, and areas of hardness.

The price of the Kybella procedure will differ from patient to patient. For example, the more treatments you wish to purchase will ultimately alter your total charge. You can contact our professional staff to learn about possible payment plans and options.

At Aesthetic Art Facial Rejuvenation, B. Maya Kato, MD and the rest of the staff only have one concern: the patient. That’s right, we strive – and have succeeded – in ensuring every individual who walks into our facility is comfortable and well informed of the procedure he or she is pursuing. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to not only look and feel their absolute best, but also be given the confidence to tackle any of life’s obstacles.
