Contouring Injections
Shed years of aging and stress from your face with cosmetic injectables at Vibrant Med Spa.
Our professionals employ best practices in every treatment plan to ensure you love the skin you’re in. We also use well-tested products that produce consistent results.
What Contouring Injections do you use?
A common list of contouring injections we use are:
- Kybella®
- Synthetic Deoxycholic Acid (same active ingredients in the brand Kybella®)
How does it work?
Deoxycholic acid is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected in small areas of sub-cutaneous fat (such as the under the chin) it destroys the fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.
A complimentary consultation is required before treatment to ensure this is a viable option for achieving your goals.
What are some common treatments?
- Below the chin (double chin)
- “Bra fat” where arm meets the chest
- Flanks
- Above the knees
Is it safe?
Yes, we only use injectables approved or cleared by the FDA. These treatments are safe and effective for most people when administered by a reputable injector.
What can I expect during the procedure?
Appointment durations vary between injection services. Contouring injections are about 30 minutes at our Round Rock med spa.
When you arrive at your appointment, we will:
- Take photos before your treatment for our treatment records.
- Numbing cream will be applied to the areas receiving treatment.
- The provider will cleanse the skin and injections will be made directly into the appropriate areas. There will be several points of injections in each treatment area.
- A cool pack is also provided after all injection treatments and can be taken home.
What should I know before my first appointment?
The Texas Medical Board requires an annual “good faith exam” (aka medical clearance) to be completed by a nurse practitioner or doctor before receiving this treatment. We will check our records when you book the appointment and schedule a free, virtual clearance if a current clearance isn’t on file.
With all injections there is the potential for swelling and/or bruising, so consider scheduling these around special events.
How soon will I see the results?
Results can take up to 4 to 6 weeks for the acid to do its work in the body. Patients typically have multiple treatments a month apart. Your injector will customize a plan of action based on your body’s response. A complimentary consultation is required before your first treatment.
