CLAIM YOUR PROFILEKybella truly causes “melting of the fat” aka Lipolysis. It has been around for many years previously in the form of injectable phosphatidyl choline (also used as an oral supplement with a variety of supposed attributes).
Kybella is the only FDA approved product proven to cause lysis (fat cell destruction or melting of fat). The proper patient must be chosen. Thus far, it does not treat purely sagging skin of the neck. The patient with true fat below the chin (sub mental fat) is the primary indication for Kybella. Usually 2-3 treatment sessions are required. My philosophy with Kybella is the same as with Sculpsure LASER lypolysis i.e. “treat to complete”.

I started using Latisse to lengthen and thicken my eyelashes. I started experiences what I thought were migraines. I did not however make the connection. When I finished my dose I did not purchase another bottle for about 6 months and headaches subsequently went away. I still did not correlate the two. When I resumed using Latisse 6 months later, my headaches became so severe, they were debilitating. I cannot describe the intensity. I had blood work done and an MRI of my brain. I had already stopped caffeine, wine and anything else that might trigger migraines. It wasn't until I realized that my headaches and now neck pain as well were concurrent with my use of Latisse. It took about 2 -3 weeks after I stopped applying the Latisse and the headaches subsided over that period of time with frequency and intensity. I feel it should and must be listed on the side effects and risks of using, which in my understanding is not.
