THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Do you or our partner suffer from a “double chin” or “turkey neck?” Approximately 67% of people say they are bothered by this unsightly dilemma which cannot be alleviated with diet or exercise. Also called “submental fullness,” this extra fat under the chin can be caused by genetics, age or weight gain, and unfortunately there has not been a non-surgical cure for it – until now.

A new treatment called “Kybella” is changing the lives of people who have long looked into the mirror wishing there was a way to rid themselves of this extra “waddle” under their chin. Kybella is an injectable treatment with minimal risks or complications. Over time the injections reduce fat in the area under the chin and give a more youthful and healthy appearance to both men and women.

Lauren Olson, PA-C, is the owner of Radiance Advanced Skin and Body Care and she is one of the first medical providers in South Texas to offer this treatment to patients. “Many times men and women think they need surgery to remove the fat causing their double chin. In actuality, the Kybella injections work just as well, and only require a few treatments,” says Olson. Kybella is the first FDA cleared treatment for submental fullness, and Olson is one of only a few providers selected and trained to administer it during the initial product launch.

The Kybella injection works by using a naturally occurring molecule in the body called deoxycholic acid. This molecule causes the destruction of fat cells, and once destroyed, they can no longer accumulate fat. After only two to six treatments, more than 67% of 2,600 patients in clinical studies saw a significant improvement in the elimination of their double chin.

“Our medical spa offers many treatments, and most patients don’t even know Kybella exists until they come in for a consultation,” says Olson. “In addition, many men and women may think they have fat under the chin, when actually they have loose skin. We treat this with Ultherapy, the only FDA cleared skin tightening procedure that uses ultrasound to lift, tone and tighten areas such as the chin, brow and jaw line.”

Radiance Advanced Skin and Body Care offers dozens of expert treatments, including skin care, body treatments, body sculpting, massage, wellness and weight loss, and hair and nail care. Olson has owned Radiance for more than 10 years, and dedicates herself to empowering her patients to live a vital and vibrant life.

Olson advises patients to do their homework. “Aesthetics is a competitive market. It’s important to research your providers to make sure they are appropriately trained and experienced in injectables.” Olson was selected to be an injectable trainer for Allergan, and being one of the few providers approved for Kybella gives her patients the confidence they need that they are being treated by an expert. “Medicine is both an art and science, especially in the aesthetic arena. Kybella is an exciting example of how we can combine art and science to make patients feel better about themselves,” says Olson.
