What is Kybella?



Kybella is an FDA approved fat buster designed to help eliminate the double chin! It contains a naturally occurring molecule that bursts fat cells, dissolves fat, which your body then flushes out.  The aim for Kybella is to get rid of the fat under the chin, so you have a more natural, youthful appearance.

KYBELLA® may be right for you if:
  • You’re bothered (unhappy, self-conscious, embarrassed) by fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness
  • You feel the condition makes you look older or heavier than you actually are
  • You don’t want to have surgery
  • You eat well and exercise, but submental fullness does not go away

The drug is injected with a tiny needle into the fat under the chin. Most patients need 2-4 treatments for a full effect, 4-6 weeks apart. The results are excellent in clinical studies!

What is Varithena?


  Varithena is an FDA approved method of closing leg veins with nonfunctional valves which cause chronic venous insufficiency along with the management of varicose veins. In some ways, the structure of veins is more complex than the arteries. Veins differ from arteries in an important aspect, they need functioning valves to maintain the normal direction of blood flow. Normally, these valves only allow blood to flow in one direction, back to the heart. When the valves fail or are incompetent, a condition known as venous reflux, there is abnormal vein function. In the leg, this causes blood to pool and have trouble returning to the heart. Untreated, this leads to degeneration of the veins. Venous reflux can progress to cause itching, pain, restless legs, swelling, discoloration and even ulcer formation of the skin.

  Most people with vein problems have dysfunction of the superficial system, which includes what is known as the truncal veins. These include the long saphenous and the short saphenous veins that travel from the groin to the inside of the ankle and from the back of the calf up to the knee. The non-truncal superficial veins are those that one can commonly see on the surface of the leg. Dysfunction of the valves of the superficial veins can lead to progressive varicose, reticular and spider veins along with symptoms of itching, pain, swelling, restless legs, skin changes and ulceration. Sometimes clotting can occur within the superficial veins that on occasion can extend into the deeper veins causing DVT. These complications may be prevented with proper treatment.

  There are multiple FDA approved, minimally invasive office based options in dealing with vein valve problems of the saphenous veins. They all rely on closing the vein with the valve problems, causing the blood to redirect into the deeper, normal veins. The Venefit or VNUS Closure procedure uses a catheter inserted into the vein which heats the vein wall and cauterizes it closed. Clarivein uses a catheter that creates a mild mechanical injury to the vein with a rotating fine wire and the use of a liquid sclerosant drug to injure the vein and close it. Varithena is the simplest method using a foam sclerosant to close the vein. 


How Varithena® works
  • The doctor administers a small amount of Varithena® through a catheter or by direct injection into the malfunctioning vein
  • The Varithena® microfoam fills and treats the desired section of the vein
  • The diseased vein collapses and the microfoam is deactivated
  • When the malfunctioning vein collapses, blood flow shifts to healthier veins nearby


  The advantage of Varithena is that it can be used in veins that are very tortuous or twisty, and close to the skin, that can not have the other procedures. NJ VeinCare is now offering Varithena as another option in vein management!

Say goodbye to tired, dull skin – and hello to a brighter, younger-looking you!


Only ThreeForMeTM laser treatments address three common skin concerns – wrinkles, sun damage and facial veins – all within one procedure. The procedure is only 30 minutes and has minimal downtime, getting you the best results possible while still fitting within your busy schedule.
How it works
ThreeForMeTM is exclusive to the clinically-proven IconTM laser and is performed in two steps.
  1. The first step addresses discoloration and facial veins using an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology.
  2. The second step addresses wrinkles and fine lines using a “microbeam” laser technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production – the keys to the support structure of our skin.
Combining these technologies provides the benefits of both in less time – giving you the younger-looking skin you want, only sooner!

What to expect
You will see continued improvement in the skin’s appearance during and after a course of 1-3 treatments with visible results after each individual treatment. You may see results in facial veins immediately after the treatment along with a darkening of the brown spots. These spots will flake off over the next one to three weeks leaving you with a glowing appearance. Lastly, you will see progressive results on any fine lines, wrinkles or scarring over the next six months as your skin naturally responds to the treatment.
It’s as easy as one, two, ThreeForMeTM. Schedule your consultation with us today!


Frequently Asked Questions:

Am I a candidate?
ThreeForMeTM laser treatments can be safely used on most skin types and for common aging and sun- related skin conditions including wrinkles, sun spots and facial vessels. During your consultation, your physician will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure based on a variety of personal factors.
How many treatments will I need?
A typical course of treatment involves 1-3 sessions at one-month intervals, however, everyone’s skin conditions are different so your physician will customize the treatment for optimal results on your skin. They will discuss your specific treatment plan during the consultation.
How will the treatment feel?
During ThreeForMeTM treatments most people feel only minimal discomfort. During the treatment you may feel some mild cooling as the laser is guided over the treatment area along with a slight sensation similar to the snapping of a rubber band. Immediately after, the treatment area will feel warm for an hour or so. You may also experience some minor redness and swelling similar to mild sunburn which should resolve in a few days.
How long does the treatment take?
Treatments are quick and typically take about 30 minutes. The length of time being in the office will depend on your physician’s techniques and pre-procedure protocol. During the consultation, ask your physician how long you should expect to be at the office.
How long before I can resume normal activities?
Typically, you can resume regular daily activities the same day as your treatment although due to some redness and swelling you may experience a day or two of “social downtime”.
Is the treatment safe?
ThreeForMeTM laser treatments are clinically proven to be safe and effective. The use of the Skintel® Melanin ReaderTM adds even more safety to the treatment – allowing your provider to offer you the safest treatment possible while still providing dramatic results.
