Who Should Avoid PB Serum?

Who Should Avoid PB Serum?

PB Serum can be an excellent treatment for selected patients, but it is not suitable for everyone.

Because PB Serum works by reducing localized fat and remodeling tissue, the wrong patient selection can sometimes lead to an overly hollow or aged appearance.

PB Serum may not be suitable for patients with:

  • Naturally slim or narrow faces

  • Significant facial volume loss

  • Facial sagging caused by ligament laxity rather than excess fat

  • Deep nasolabial folds due to midface descent

  • Hollow cheeks or temples

  • Advanced skin laxity

  • Significant weight loss or GLP-1 related facial volume loss

  • Patients seeking lifting rather than contouring
     

When PB Serum Can Make Things Worse

One of the most common misconceptions in aesthetic medicine is assuming that every lower face concern is caused by excess fat.

For example, if your nasolabial folds are caused by:

  • Cheek deflation

  • Loss of collagen

  • Facial sagging

  • Structural volume loss

Reducing fat in these patients may actually make the folds appear deeper and the face look more sunken.

In these cases, treatments that stimulate collagen or restore structural support may be more appropriate than fat reduction.

Clinical Insight from Dr. Doris Lee

"I like PB Serum, but I do not recommend it to everyone.

If you are slim and your nasolabial fold is caused by sagging rather than excess fat, reducing facial fat may leave you with a more hollow appearance and you may regret the result later.

Diagnosis matters more than the product itself."

The Best Candidate for PB Serum

The ideal PB Serum patient typically has:

  • Localized fat deposits

  • Mild lower face heaviness

  • Double chin fullness

  • Early jowling caused by excess fat rather than skin laxity

  • Good skin elasticity

At Sheen Clinic, treatment recommendations are based on facial anatomy, aging patterns and treatment goals rather than trends or one-size-fits-all solutions.
