Targeted Reduction and Body Contouring: Laser Hair Removal, Skin Tightening, and Kybella

Body Contouring and Refinement in Rochester

Welcome to Rejuvn8 Aesthetics in Rochester, NY.


Achieving a refined and contoured silhouette often requires precision treatments that go beyond diet and exercise. We focus on three distinct areas of non-surgical reduction and firming: permanent hair removal, targeted fat reduction, and skin laxity correction. Our comprehensive Body Contouring approach utilizes advanced energy and injectable therapies—Laser Hair Removal, Radiofrequency Skin Tightening, and Kybella—each precisely engineered to deliver permanent or long-lasting results in the most effective manner possible.


Laser Hair Removal (LHR): Permanent Follicle Reduction

LHR: The Science of Selective Photothermolysis for Hair


Target: Unwanted body and facial hair (Permanent Reduction)

Laser Hair Removal is the most effective and efficient method for achieving long-term hair reduction. It is a highly specialized process that relies on the selective destruction of the hair follicle.


  • Mechanism of Action: Targeting Melanin
  1. A concentrated beam of light (laser energy) is emitted.
  2. This energy is selectively absorbed by the Melanin (pigment) within the hair shaft and the hair follicle.
  3. The light converts instantly into heat, which travels down the hair shaft to the hair bulb, safely destroying the dermal papilla and the hair follicle's ability to produce new hair.


  • The Growth Cycle Requirement: LHR is only effective on hairs that are actively growing in the Anagen (active growth) phase. Since only 15-20% of hairs are in the Anagen phase at any given time, a series of treatments (typically 6-8 sessions) is required to target all follicles as they cycle through the active growth stage.



  • Safety in Rochester: Modern systems at Rejuvn8 are designed with advanced cooling technology to protect the skin's surface, ensuring maximum comfort and safety for all skin types.


Radiofrequency Skin Tightening: Non-Invasive Firming

RF Skin Tightening: Harnessing Thermal Energy for Dermal Contraction


Target: Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity on the Body (Abdomen, Arms, Thighs)

Skin laxity is caused by the breakdown of Collagen and Elastin fibers due to aging and environmental stress. Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening non-invasively addresses this by using heat to initiate deep dermal remodeling.


  • Mechanism of Action: Dual-Phase Collagen Stimulation
  1. Focused RF energy safely bypasses the outer layer of skin and penetrates the deep Dermis and underlying subcutaneous layers.
  2. The energy is converted into therapeutic heat, causing two critical effects:
  • Immediate Contraction: Existing Collagen fibers instantly shorten and thicken, resulting in a subtle, immediate firming effect.
  • Neocollagenesis: The thermal response signals fibroblasts (the body's collagen-producing cells) to enter a state of accelerated repair, resulting in significant, long-term production of new Collagen and Elastin.

  • Ideal Application: RF Skin Tightening is ideal for post-pregnancy abdominal skin laxity, addressing "crepey" skin texture on the arms, and improving the appearance of mild cellulite by strengthening the supportive bands beneath the skin.


Kybella: Permanent, Localized Fat Reduction

Kybella: Chemically Targeting Submental Fat for a Refined Profile


Target: Submental Fullness (Double Chin)

Although technically a facial treatment, Kybella is fundamentally a reduction therapy, making it a critical component of a comprehensive contouring plan for the profile.


  • Mechanism of Action: Deoxycholic Acid Cytolysis
  1. The active ingredient is synthetic Deoxycholic Acid, a molecule naturally produced by the liver to emulsify and break down dietary fat.
  2. When strategically injected into the fat under the chin, the Deoxycholic Acid acts as a cytolytic agent, physically rupturing the membranes of the targeted fat cells.
  3. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. The body's natural metabolic processes safely and permanently clear the cellular debris over a period of weeks.


  • Key Distinction (Non-Targeted Areas): Kybella is specifically approved and formulated for the submental area. It is used to refine the jawline and neck profile by permanently removing the fat that obscures the bone structure.


The Rejuvn8 Aesthetics Contouring Synergy: A Protocol for Definition

The most dramatic improvements in overall contour and profile are achieved when these technologies are strategically combined at Rejuvn8 Aesthetics in Rochester.


Refining the Neckline

  • Kybella followed by a series of RF Skin Tightening treatments.
  • Kybella removes the unwanted fat; RF Skin Tightening treats the resulting skin envelope, ensuring the skin retracts and firms smoothly over the newly contoured area.


Addressing Body Laxity

  • Microneedling (or RF Microneedling) paired with RF Skin Tightening.
  • RF energy provides deep bulk heating for overall tightening; Microneedling reorganizes the scar and textural components, ensuring firm skin also has smooth texture.


Long-Term Maintenance

  • A structured series of Laser Hair Removal sessions and an annual touch-up session of RF Skin Tightening (depending on the degree of aging).
  • Establishes a permanent state of smoothness and ensures that the foundation of Collagen is continually supported against environmental degradation.
