THE PERFECT CURVE | KYBELLA

Unwanted areas of fat accumulation occurs in all of us. This can occur as we age, after child bearing or from fluctuations in weight. We can target and remove problem fat areas with injections of a product that dissolves fat. These areas do not respond to general weight loss as it is extremely difficult to target just these areas.

Common areas for women include; lower abdomen (fanny pack), above the hips (muffin-top), inner thighs, “saddlebags” on the outer thigh, tricep areas in the back of the arms, above the bra line, and the area underneath the chin. For men common areas include; “love handles,” abdominal fat pad, and the area under the chin.

As always, the most important step in the process is the consultation at East Bay Innovative Medicine. We will not direct you toward a treatment unless we believe it has a high probability of success.

The Perfect Curve (that’s what we call our procedure) uses a combination of naturally occurring enzymes that destroy fat cells. The liquified fat and other cell remains then will get absorbed into the circulation and eliminated from your body in a natural process over time. Our response rate and client satisfaction rates are near 100%.

How does it work?

The “Perfect Curve” solution is administered through a series of small injections into the area to be treated. The enzyme breaks down the wall of the fat cell releasing it’s contents (fatty acids and other products) which will be broken down by our system. The released free fatty acids are absorbed by the bloodstream and processed out with the bile.

How long does the effect last?

Since the fat cells are destroyed, the benefit is permanent. In some cases, clients will choose to have the area treated a second time to gain an enhanced outcome.

Does it hurt?

We may use a topical anesthetic to diminish the pain. There will be a mild burning sensation that will occur immediately after the injections. This typically lasts for up to 30 minutes. The area is commonly sore the next day although most people resume normal activities. Most people have very little discomfort.

What will I look like after the procedure?

Significant swelling will occur and last for up to a week after the injections. This should be taken into account especially when treating the face. After one week the swelling will have diminished to the point where it should not be very noticeable. Bruising and redness may also take place.

Does it work on cellulite?

Yes! It is one of the most effective treatments to permanently reduce cellulite.

Can it be used for general fat reduction?

We do not recommend it for this purpose. Perfect Curve is a “body sculpting” tool. If you need generalized fat reduction we recommend our weight-loss program first, followed by body sculpting if needed.

How does this procedure compare to others like it such as “Kybella” and “Cool Sculpting”?

Kyblella is only used to target the area under the chin. Since The Perfect Curve uses a combination of enzymes, including the one used in “Kybella,” only at significantly higher doses, in our experience we have noted superior outcomes.

“Cool Sculpting” uses a process of freezing the tissue to kill fat cells. Unlike the Perfect Curve, the freezing is indiscriminate and can potentially harm other cells besides the fat cells intended.

In addition, The Perfect Curve is significantly less expensive than either of the other two procedures. The average cost for cool sculpting typically exceeds $3000 per area. Kybella costs an average of about $3000 per treatment, and can only be used under the chin. The perfect curve costs only $950. This procedure is less costly and more effective in our humble opinion.

Is “The Perfect Curve” FDA approved?

Since the Perfect Curve uses a unique combination of compounded products, it does not require FDA approval. The products are compounded individually at an FDA regulated sterile compounding facility.

Is the procedure safe?

Potential adverse effects can include; infection, bruising, swelling (including areas away from the injection site), pain, and temporary numbness in the area injected. The day after the procedure there can be some mild nausea and potential loose stool. You may be prescribed medications to control these potential symptoms.
