What is Body Contouring?
Body Contouring with Sculptra
Sculptra is an innovative body contouring injectable composed of an active ingredient called Poly-L-lactic acid. This is a naturally occurring component that activates your body’s innate collagen production capacities. When injected into the targeted body parts, such as the thighs or buttocks, it encourages your body to produce new collagen fibers, making your skin look firm, smooth, and voluminous. As your body produces new collagen, the targeted area starts appearing fuller and more sculpted.

Side Effects
You may experience mild redness, swelling, irritation, and discomfort around the injection sites for a few days. Some patients also experience mild lumping under the skin, but that’s extremely rare. There’s no downtime.
Results
Sculptra produces gradual results over several weeks and months, and the results last for up to 24 months, depending on the treatment area. The results aren’t instantaneous because it relies on natural collagen production. Patients typically need 2 treatments spaced out 6-8 weeks.
Body Contouring with Kybella
Kybella is a fat reduction injectable meant for the submental region, i.e., the area under the chin. This is the ideal treatment for patients with unwanted submental fat tissues, aka a double chin. Kybella consists of a naturally occurring component called deoxycholic acid, which, when injected into the submental region, makes your body destroy the unwanted fat tissues. Your body metabolizes and expels the fat tissues, giving you a slim chin and jawline.
