Many thoughts creep through the minds of those who live with double chins. Here are five truths that may just hit home:
They’re only cute on babies.
All the neck and chin lifting exercises in the world aren’t going to change the look of this chin.
For guys: Maybe facial hair could disguise the problem. Maybe not, when it doesn’t grow to a full beard.
Camera angles for pictures are tricky. Go high, please.
Mirrors are not enjoyable to look at.
We understand the struggle is real and want to help!
Put your best chin forward with Kybella, an injectable treatment for adults with chin fullness or more than a double chin. Kybella eliminates fat cells beneath the chin to help improve the ever-so-necessary side profile. Kybella treatments are administered at least 1 month apart and should not exceed six total treatments. Because no two chins are the same, treatments will be different for each person. It all comes down to the amount of submental fat (double chin) that's being treated. To start your treatment journey we recommend to schedule a free consultation with one of our highly trained team members in order to decide whether or not Kybella is right for you and how much is necessary to treat your situation. Don't wait, draw a different line today!

You go to great lengths to keep your skin looking its best by using serums, creams and receiving skin treatments, all of which play an important part in managing healthy-looking skin. However, it’s also important to understand what’s happening underneath your skin to affect its pigmentation, or color. So, lets dive into what pigmentation is and how it can be treated.
What is pigmentation?
Pigmentation is the color of a person’s skin. There are also two types of pigmentation, hyperpigmentation (darker) and hypopigmentation (lighter).
What causes changes in pigmentation?
Most of what we perceive as aging is caused by factors that you can control, the main one being the amount of time your skin spends exposed to the sun. Excessive sun exposure may be responsible for structural changes in the skin that will not be seen for years and can also cause drastic changes to your skin’s pigmentation.
The sun’s rays speed up how active your skin cells, or melanocytes, are. Melanocytes produce melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its color, so more exposure to the sun means more pigment in your skin.
Pigmentation changes may also take place in those who have darker skin, as dark skin tends to have more melanin, which makes one more susceptible to a condition known as melasma. Also known as “pregnancy mask,” melasma is characterized by brown or tan patches on the face and is caused by a change in hormone levels.
Additionally, changes in pigmentation may also be attributed to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). PIH, which is caused by trauma to the skin such as acne, these are dark spots that remain long after the initial inflammation has healed.
Treatment and prevention
The good news is that you can manage pigmentation changes to your skin by limiting your exposure to the sun and avoiding unnecessary trauma to your skin. Some easy-to-follow recommendations include wearing an SPF 30 or higher every day, bringing a hat or umbrella for further protection from the sun, and always wearing sunglasses.
Hydroquinone is considered by many to be the gold standard for treating pigmentation issues and is a key ingredient in the Obagi Nu Derm System which is ideal for treating age spots, dark spots, and melasma.
