All About Belkyra: The Revolutionary Treatment for Double Chin & Its Side Effects

Belkyra is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment intended to break down and absorb stubborn fat under the chin, otherwise known as a “double chin.” Belkyra is quite a safe and efficient treatment option for those interested in a slimmer, more contoured jawline without surgery.

Using a specialized formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, it breaks down and absorbs unwanted fat cells through this injectable treatment.

At Celebrity Laser Care, we provide this advanced treatment in a luxurious setting, offering our clients the latest cosmetic technology and exceptional care.

What is Belkyra?

Belkyra is the first and only drug licensed for injection into the fat under the chin. It destroys fat cells, leading to aesthetic improvement of moderate to severe fat under the chin. Belkyra, also known as ATX-101 or KYBELLA in the United States, was approved by Health Canada on July 27, 2015.

Many people struggle with a double chin due to aging, genetics, or weight gain. Until now, the only way to remove it was through surgery, making this new treatment very exciting.

How Belkyra Works?

At the heart of Belkyra is its active ingredient: deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring fat-dissolving molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

This medication works by breaking down fat cells when injected into the fat under the chin. The cells are then naturally absorbed by the body. The injection is quick and painless; a numbing agent may be used to minimize discomfort. Small quantities of Belkyra are injected through a fine needle into the submental fat.

The fat under the chin will eventually go away and give an individual that face contour desired. This may require a different number of sessions based on the amount of fat that is present and the results one wants. A trained medical professional can give specific guidance based on individual needs.

Signs You Are a Good Candidate for Belkyra

Here are some indications of how Belkyra may be right for you:

Resistant Double Chin

If you eat well and work out but sport a double chin, Belkyra might be just the thing you need. If you have tried hard to get rid of that fat but haven’t succeeded, speak to your skin specialist about a personalized Belkyra treatment.

No Surgery

Belkyra works really well to eliminate a double chin without surgery and long periods of recovery. It gives good results without the high costs and risks of cosmetic surgery.

Stable Weight

Belkyra is for those at or near their ideal weight who want to remove fat under the chin. It is not a solution for losing weight.

Good Skin Condition

Belkyra is suitable for mild to moderate skin looseness. However, if you have severe sagging skin, it is better to explore other options with your provider.

What Are the Advantages of Belkyra?

Unlike other treatments such as liposuction, Belkyra does not involve any cuts and, therefore, no recovery period, which is why people with busy lifestyles consider this effective, long-lasting treatment. Following are a few of the key benefits that make Belkyra stand out for the treatment of submental fat:

Non-surgical Intervention

One of Belkyra’s most significant advantages is its non-surgical intervention. Unlike liposuction or facelifts, Belkyra doesn’t involve cuts, stitches, or general anesthesia, making it less risky and accelerating recovery time.

Permanent Results

Once Belkyra kills the fat cells, they never return. What this essentially means is that most results can be permanent. But at least to ensure that the other fat cells don’t start growing and change the results, it would be better to keep your weight stable.

Natural Appearance

Belkyra gives gradual results, reducing a double chin seem natural. It won’t look like you had any work done; instead, people will notice how fresh and renewed you look.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Belkyra?

Belkyra has risks and side effects like any medical treatment. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, erythema, induration, pain, and numbness in the treated area. These usually go away in a few days to weeks. Rarely, more severe side effects can occur. It’s important to have a licensed medical professional administer Belkyra.

If you are considering getting Belkyra, schedule an appointment with our licensed healthcare providers first. They will assess if you are a good candidate for the treatment and discuss your goals.

If you qualify, your provider will help create a personalized treatment plan based on your concerns and goals. The number of injections you need will depend on how much submental fat you have and what you want to achieve.

FAQs

1. How long does Belkyra last?

Most patients see a lasting decrease in submental fat. Once fat cells are destroyed, they usually do not return. Therefore, most patients only need one series of Belkyra treatments.

2. Does skin sag after Kybella?

Kybella doesn’t cause loose skin but can make sagging skin more noticeable by removing its support. You may have loose skin if your skin stays in shape when you pinch it. In this case, you might need more than Kybella injections to get the slim and defined jawline you want.

3. What is the best injectable for a saggy neck?

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fullness, also known as a double chin.

4. Does Kybella change face shape?

Kybella, also called Belkyra in Canada, can change the shape of your face, especially around the chin and jawline. It works by targeting and dissolving fat cells under the chin, which helps reduce a double chin and creates a more defined jawline. While Kybella mainly focuses on the area under the chin, reducing this fat can improve the overall shape of the lower face. However, Kybella does not change the entire face; its effects are limited to the chin and neck. For those wanting more significant changes to their facial shape, other treatments may be better suited to their goals.
