Belkyra™ Chin Fat Treatment

The effects of Belkyra, specifically designed for targeting and reducing submental fullness, are impressively enduring. After completing the treatment course and achieving the desired results, the reduction in fat cells under the chin is permanent, making it a lasting solution for this common concern. It is considered a permanent treatment solution, however, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can further ensure the longevity of these results.

Belkyra injections can have side effects that typically include temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness around the treated area. These are common reactions as the body adjusts and starts to break down fat cells, and they usually resolve within a few days to two weeks. Our team provides comprehensive Belkyra aftercare and advice to ensure your comfort and inform you about what to expect during the recovery process. 

Belkyra and CoolSculpting both target fat reduction but through different mechanisms. Belkyra uses deoxycholic acid injections to break down fat cells, particularly effective for smaller areas like the jawline or under the chin. CoolSculpting, on the other hand, employs cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate fat cells, suitable for larger body areas (like abdomen, thighs, etc.). Your choice depends on the specific area you wish to treat and the type of fat reduction technique best suited to your body and goals. We are here to help you with your choice: come in for a free consultation. 

A double chin, or submental fullness, often arises from a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, weight fluctuations and aging. These elements can lead to an accumulation of fat under the chin, creating a fuller appearance. It’s a common concern that transcends lifestyle and body type, affecting a broad range of individuals. 

Belkyra treatments may cause some discomfort – however, many patients report that the sensation is manageable. To enhance comfort, topical numbing agents and/or local anesthetics are typically used. Any discomfort experienced usually subsides shortly after the procedure, and our team ensures that each patient is as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment.

Belkyra treatments can lead to swelling in the treated area, which is a normal reaction as the body responds to the fat reduction process. The extent of swelling varies among individuals but is generally temporary, subsiding over the course of a few days to two weeks. Our team provides detailed Belkyra aftercare instructions to help manage and minimize this common side effect. The main thing is the big picture: targeted fat reduction. 

Belkyra is primarily and effectively used for treating submental fullness, commonly referred to as a double chin, enhancing the contour of the chin and neck. While its primary focus is on this area, there are instances of off-label use where medical professionals may apply Belkyra to address small, localized fat deposits in other body areas, guided by their expertise and the patient’s specific needs.

Price range and the number of treatments can vary greatly with each patient—again, a personal consultation is required—but here are typical ranges directly depending on the amount of Belkyra you require: 

• Small quantity: $1100 
• Medium quantity: $1800 
• Large quantity: $2400 

Prices are per treatment, and optimal results are typically achieved with two to four treatments. As treatment progresses, less Belkyra may be required, therefore the investment amount may be reduced in subsequent treatments. 

Taxes not included. 

Recovery following Belkyra treatment is typically swift and manageable. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area, which usually subsides within a week or two. There’s generally no significant downtime, allowing most individuals to resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure, with our team providing comprehensive guidance to ensure a smooth recovery process.
