Say goodbye to unwanted hair! Come experience the new Italian engineered EVO laser for your hair reduction needs. Our hand-pieces are specifically designed to deliver even and highly precise coverage to reduce discomfort during treatment. During this quick and easy procedure, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle. This inhibits future hair growth and results in permanent hair reduction. MHA carries multiple lasers that are safe for all skin types. Please note, light or white hair cannot be removed by this method.

Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injection to improve the appearance of excessive fat below the chin. When injected, the active ingredient in Kybella permanently dissolves fat cells in the double chin area over the course of weeks to months. Kybella is a proprietary formulation of a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is naturally produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder and helps break down dietary fat. Kybella injections harness these properties to destroy the membranes of fat cells, which are then absorbed by the body.

After injections, the area will be swollen and may be tender for up to two weeks. We recommend compression and icing to help with swelling and discomfort. Typically a series of 3-6 treatments will show optimal results, however treatment needs can vary from person to person. Kybella is a great option for those who desire non-invasive treatment vs surgery.
