Emsculpt
Who is it ideal for? The best candidates for Emsculpt are generally healthy patients with pockets of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise. Emsculpt works for both men and women and comes with no side effects.

Kybella
Kybella was created with the intention of permanently destroying submental fat (also known as the dreaded double chin) by using deoxycholic acid to cause fat cell death. Kybella is administered through a series of injections directly into the chin and jowl area, leaving a noticeable reduction in fat and contoured jawline within six weeks. The cells will die and your body will naturally expel them during the six week period, after which you can evaluate if further treatment is desired to remove more fat from the area. During that period of healing, your collagen production will increase and skin will tighten up as well. And although Kybella was initially created as an alternative to surgical liposuction for the chin, it is also being used on smaller areas of fat throughout the body, namely the "bra bulge" area.
Who is it ideal for? Anyone with a double chin or unwanted bra fat. While it is true that more fat will require more vials, it will depend entirely on your cosmetic goals and a series may be suggested during your consultation.

Profound
Profound® is a thermal energy-based facial treatment that dramatically improves laxity in aging facial and neck skin. This non-surgical facelift procedure uses thermally regulated and fractionated radiofrequency controlled needles, which are inserted into the patient’s problem areas to induce lifting and tightening of the skin. Unlike other non-surgical facelift procedures, such as Ultherapy®, Profound® not only tightens and lifts lax skin, but it also produces hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin to add much-needed volume to thin areas of aging skin.
