What is Belkyra?

Belkyra is an injectable treatment that utilizes deoxycholic acid to target and dissolve fat cells below the chin, reducing the appearance of a double chin. It can also be used to target belly fat, bra bulge and even excess fat above the knees. This non-surgical solution is perfect for getting rid of small areas of unwanted fat without an invasive procedure like liposuction.

Belkyra is manufactured by Allergan, the makers of Botox, and marketed in the United States under the name Kybella.

Before & Afters

Following your Belkyra treatment sessions, you gradually notice a more defined chin profile.

The full transformation is generally observed after a series of follow-up treatments.

Your Belkyra Treatment

Results

Belkyra (also known as Kybella) effectively reduces submental fat (under the chin) to improve the contour of the jawline, leading to a more defined and youthful appearance.

How We Do It

After assessing your treatment area, our skilled injectors administer Belkyra through a series of injections into the submental fat. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, helps break down and absorb fat cells.

Side Effects

Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites. Some patients may also experience mild discomfort or numbness, which typically resolves within a few days to weeks.

Time to Full Effect

Initial results may be visible after the first treatment, but optimal results are usually achieved after a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Full effects become apparent as the fat is gradually absorbed and the treated area tightens over the following months.

Instructions

Effective preparation is essential for optimizing the results of Belkyra by ensuring the best conditions for targeted fat reduction. Following aftercare guidelines is crucial for achieving the desired effects and minimizing potential side effects.

Before Treatment

Consultation with a professional: Discuss your goals and medical history with a certified specialist to determine if Belkyra is suitable for your needs.
Avoid blood thinners: Discontinue aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E supplements to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
Avoid alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment to minimize the risk of increased swelling.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body handle the treatment and reduce the risk of swelling.
Clean skin: Ensure the treatment area is clean and free of makeup, lotions, or other products before your appointment.
Discuss medical history: Inform your provider about any allergies, skin conditions, or recent cosmetic procedures to tailor the treatment to your needs.

Post Treatment

Avoid touching the treated area: Refrain from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area to prevent irritation and promote proper healing.
Apply ice: Use ice packs intermittently to reduce swelling and discomfort if necessary.
Avoid strenuous exercise: Skip vigorous physical activities for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.
Protect from sunlight: Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the treated area and prevent pigmentation changes.
Use gentle skincare products: Opt for mild, hydrating products to soothe and support the healing process.
Follow-up appointment: Schedule any recommended follow-up visits with your provider to monitor progress and discuss any additional treatments if needed.

What to Expect from Your Belkyra Treatment

At your appointment, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and examine your areas of concern to determine the best treatment plan. The Belkyra treatment involves a series of small injections under the chin, with each session lasting about 15-20 minutes. Recovery is typically swift, with minimal side effects such as swelling or bruising in the treated area lasting a few days.

How Much Does Belkyra Cost?

The cost of Belkyra treatments can vary based on several factors including the number of sessions required to achieve desired results and the specific treatment plan designed for you. For detailed pricing, please contact Clinique AG directly.

Questions? We’ve got answers.

Is Belkyra painful?

Belkyra treatments involve injections, which can cause some discomfort. Most patients report feeling a mild burning sensation or a pinch during the injection process. Clinique AG ensures patient comfort by applying a topical numbing agent or local anesthesia before the procedure. Most patients find the treatment very tolerable, especially considering the effectiveness and minimal downtime associated with it.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

The number of treatments varies depending on the volume of fat and your desired results. Typically, patients require 2-4 sessions spaced at least one month apart. During your consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be created to meet your specific needs.

What should I expect during the recovery period after a Belkyra treatment?

Recovery from Belkyra is generally minimal, allowing most patients to return to their daily activities immediately. You may experience some swelling, which can last from a few days to a few weeks. Following post-treatment care instructions will help minimize discomfort and optimize outcomes.

Are Belkyra results permanent?

Once the fat cells are destroyed by Belkyra, they cannot regenerate. This means that the results are typically permanent, as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, potentially altering results.

AREAS	Submental (under the chin)
COST	Prices vary
DURATION	Typically lasts 15-30 minutes
FREQUENCY	Requires a series of treatments for optimal results, with maintenance as needed
