What is Belkyra™?
Belkyra™ is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a “double chin.”
Belkyra™ is formulated with deoxycholic acid and works by destroying fat cells beneath the chin, resulting in a more contoured jawline. It offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery, with minimal downtime.
Who is a candidate for Belkyra™?
- Individuals with submental fullness or a “double chin” that is bothersome.
- Patients who have good skin elasticity and are in generally good health.
- Candidates who have tried diet and exercise to reduce submental fullness without significant improvement.
What To Expect
What to expect during treatment
Prior to your procedure, an assessment will be made by our Medical Director to determine the appropriate amount of Belkyra™ needed. Using a fine needle or cannula, a series of injections are placed in a pattern on the areas under the chin which need treatment. Multiple injections may be administered to the treated areas. Our skincare experts use precise technique to ensure natural-looking results.
You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections, but any discomfort is typically minimal. For your comfort, we use a topical numbing agent or local anesthesia injections prior to injections.
You may have a very small amount of pinpoint bleeding where the needle was inserted. This usually subsides in a few minutes.
What to expect after treatment
You may apply ice packs to ease tenderness and swelling after the procedure.
There may be some temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within 3 – 5 days.
Side effects from Belkyra™ treatment, especially swelling and firmness, tend to last two weeks and do not typically cause any social downtime.
