At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we offer advanced fat-dissolving solutions that go beyond traditional body contouring. Whether you're struggling with a stubborn double chin, bra bulge, or other localized fat pockets, Kybella—along with off-label PPC (phosphatidylcholine) lipolysis treatments—offers a nonsurgical, scientifically proven way to contour and refine areas that diet and exercise can’t always address.
Led by Deborah Quinn, DNP, a double board-certified dermatology nurse practitioner with 18 years of dermatology and procedural experience, our practice provides personalized, medically sound fat reduction treatments focusing on natural, smooth results. Unlike high-volume medspas, we tailor each session to your unique body shape and goals, making your transformation safe, effective, and beautifully balanced.
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down dietary fat. When precisely injected, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, making it an ideal solution for stubborn fat under the chin ("double chin").
Beyond the chin, we also use PPC (phosphatidylcholine) lipolysis treatments—a safe, off-label fat-dissolving technique—to target small, localized fat pockets elsewhere on the body. PPC works similarly to Kybella but is specifically formulated for non-chin areas, giving us the flexibility to sculpt and refine areas like bra fat, jowls, inner thighs, knees, and more.
Your Kybella or PPC fat-dissolving treatment is designed to be precise, comfortable, and completely personalized. Whether you’re treating under the chin, bra fat, or another stubborn area, we ensure that your experience feels thoughtful and tailored—never rushed or "one-size-fits-all."
1. Personalized Consultation & Mapping
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation and assessment by Deborah Quinn, DNP. Together, you’ll review your aesthetic goals and identify the exact areas of fat to target. Dr. Quinn will carefully map out your treatment areas, ensuring accuracy and symmetry.
2. Numbing & Preparation
To ensure a comfortable experience, we apply a topical numbing agent before beginning. Most patients experience only mild warmth or stinging, which subsides quickly.
3. Precision Injections
Using a fine, specialized needle, Deborah Quinn will administer a series of precise, small injections of Kybella or PPC directly into the fat layer. The number of injections will vary based on the size and location of the treatment area.
4. Immediate Aftercare & Instructions
Following your treatment, you may notice mild swelling, tenderness, or a slight burning sensation—all completely normal and temporary. We’ll review customized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimal downtime.
These injectable fat dissolvers are designed to target small, stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to exercise or diet. Common concerns we treat include:

During your personalized consultation, Deborah Quinn, DNP, will assess your areas of concern and recommend the most effective combination of Kybella and PPC to achieve smooth, natural contouring.
Kybella and PPC treatments offer powerful benefits for those seeking nonsurgical body contouring:
These treatments permanently destroy fat cells in the targeted area, so once the fat is gone, it's gone for good—without incisions or liposuction. Results emerge gradually, so no one needs to know you had work done—you’ll simply look slimmer and more sculpted over time. Plus, with minimal downtime, most patients can return to daily activities quickly. This makes Kybella and PPC ideal for discreet, natural body contouring that fits into your busy life.
Kybella and PPC are great options for healthy men and women looking to address small, localized fat deposits. You may be a candidate if you:
These treatments are not designed for large-volume fat reduction or weight loss, but for refining and contouring. During your consultation, Deborah Quinn, DNP, will review your health history and body goals to ensure these treatments are right for you.
Recovery from Kybella and PPC injections is generally mild and manageable. You may experience swelling, tenderness, and slight bruising at the injection site — especially under the chin, where swelling can be more noticeable for a few days.
Most patients resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, though social downtime may be preferred depending on swelling. You’ll receive full aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.
Results from Kybella and PPC are gradual and natural-looking, typically developing over 6 to 12 weeks as the body breaks down and removes destroyed fat cells. Most patients require a series of 2 to 4 treatments, depending on the area and amount of fat present.
Once achieved, results are permanent, provided your weight remains stable. Patients love how their contours improve naturally over time, with no surgical scars or downtime.
The entire Kybella or PPC procedure typically takes 30 minutes or less, making it a perfect option for patients seeking nonsurgical fat reduction with long-lasting results. At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we focus on subtle, natural improvements that fit beautifully into your life—without the need for surgery or extended recovery.
