Ideal Candidate for Fat Reduction
If you’re within 20 pounds of your goal weight and have stubborn areas of fat that diet and exercise can’t get rid of, then fat reduction might be right for you. While the fat reduction is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, please note that it is NOT a weight loss solution.
Areas Fat Reduction Can Treat
Our non-surgical liposuction alternatives can be effective in these areas of the body:
Abdomen
Non-invasive fat reduction is able to address trouble spots in the midsection such as the upper abdomen, lower abdomen and flanks (love handles).
Legs
Target stubborn fat on the legs in areas such as the inner thighs and above the knees with non-surgical fat reduction.
Back & Arms
Fat reduction treatments can be a great solution for the upper arms, bra line and underarm area.
Chin
Submental (chin) fat is a concern for many. Improve your facial profile with non-invasive fat reduction of the chin.
Kybella™ in Grand Rapids, MI
Kybella is an injection, specifically a deoxycholic acid, that separates and breaks apart stubborn fat deposits, allowing them to be removed through your body’s natural process of elimination. It’s a non-surgical option for removing fat from smaller areas like the chin and neck. Once the fat has been eliminated through Kybella treatment, it cannot come back as long as you maintain your weight.
What to Expect with Kybella
First, the injection site is marked in a grid-like pattern to ensure proper distribution of Kybella for an even appearance. Then we apply a topical numbing agent to help with pain and discomfort. Once the numbing has taken effect, Kybella is injected in 20 – 50 spots, which takes about 20 minutes.
Afterward, the most common side effects are pain, swelling, bruising and numbness. These usually subside in two weeks or less.
How much does Kybella cost?
The area being treated, the total number of treatments and other factors impact price. Allergan, the manufacturer of Kybella, offers the Allē rewards program, which can help you save. You can also get our best pricing with a Pure Skin Membership. To get an idea of what an average Centre for Pure Skin patient pays for Kybella, use our price estimator.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella
Is Kybella safe?
Yes. Kybella is FDA-approved as a fat reduction method. The deoxycholic acid in Kybella is highly refined for safe injection. Kybella is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, but is NOT intended for weight loss.
How long do results from Kybella last?
Don’t worry about your double chin coming back—results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight. That’s because fat can’t come back once it’s removed from your body. But existing fat cells can expand and grow in the area, which is what happens with weight gain.
How many treatments of Kybella are needed to get results?
The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat in the area being treated. On average, most patients see results after 2 – 3 treatments. How many treatments you need is determined during your initial consultation with us.
When can I see results from Kybella?
Results are usually noticeable about 3 weeks after treatment, but become more obvious 2 – 3 months after treatment.
Is there any downtime with Kybella?
Not really. Most patients have a bit of discomfort after treatment, as you would with any shot, but can generally go about their business.
What are the side effects of Kybella?
The most common side effects of Kybella are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of firmness in the treatment area.
