Belkyra: All About the Fat Dissolving Chin Sculpting Treatment

Dr. Kabiri — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 19:45:49 +0000

Non-surgical cosmetic treatments like cosmetic neuromodulators and dermal fillers have become popular among women and men. These minimally invasive procedures can make a difference in facial appearances and self-confidence. Belkyra, also known as Kybella in the United States, is a relatively new cosmetic therapy designed to eliminate stubborn submental fat under the chin.

Many people in Vancouver, no matter how much they exercise or pay attention to their diet, struggle to get rid of the dreaded double chin. That’s because genetics play a significant role in its presence. Belkyra destroys unwanted fat cells via a comfortable and convenient cosmetic injection. As a result, it has become increasingly popular among many, including celebrities like Khloe Kardashian, who was a spokesperson for the brand.

What is Belkyra

Belkyra is an injectable solution that targets submental fat around the neck and under the chin. This fullness that contributes to the double chin can be a genetic effect developing with age. The Belkyra formulation consists of deoxycholic acid to target unwanted fat beneath the chin. Benefits include its convenience, with short treatment sessions offering no downtime.

Before this injectable treatment, surgical liposuction & Coolsculpting were the only procedures to eliminate a double chin. Now patients embrace this new treatment technology because of its incredible effectiveness, safety, and convenience.

Who is Belkyra for?

Women and men from age eighteen to sixty-five who are bothered with excess fat beneath their chin are prime candidates for Belkyra injections. In addition, patients who have had surgery in the area or built-up scar tissue should disclose that information to their doctor. This may decrease the effectiveness of the injections.

How Does Belkyra Work?

The injections help eliminate fat cells found under the chin. This chin sculpting treatment is an effective product containing deoxycholic acid. When injected in the target area, the product breaks down fat cells, which are then flushed from the body.

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring substance that aids in digesting and absorbing dietary fat. Belkyra harnesses this capability in its formula, developed to be injected in precise locations for reshaping the neckline and chin.

What to Expect

If you’re considering Belkyra, you should schedule a consultation with Dr. Kabiri. She will mark the injection sites for best results, then apply a numbing cream for comfort. The injection zone is marked accurately using anatomical markers for guidance.

You can receive up to fifty injections per session, depending on the amount of submental fat present. Dr. Kabiri will administer the treatment every 6-8 weeks, up to four treatments, or when the patient achieves their cosmetic goal. Therefore, the number of injections and treatment sessions vary from patient to patient.

Belkyra & CoolSculpting

Say goodbye to your double chin and, hello to a youthful appearance that will have you looking in a mirror all day

Most patients have a hard time with the extra fat pockets underneath their chin that make them look and feel older than they are.

Unfortunately, sub-mental fat is one the most stubborn and difficult to eliminate permanently. Genetics plays a significant role in sub-mental volume and frankly there just aren’t any effective exercises one can do to specifically target the area under the chin.

Double Chin – Before & After

In order to eliminate fat, we offer two non-invasive treatments:

CoolSculpting combined with Belkyra injection can produce beautiful results and permanently reduce the unwanted fat under the chin and contour your neck and jawline.

CoolSculpting is non-invasive treatment with little to no down time.

This technology uses Cryolipolysis (controlled cooling) to freeze and permanently destroy up to 24% of fat cells in numerous parts of the body. During the double chin treatment, the CoolMini Applicator, which is specifically designed to target and eliminate fat under the chin, administers a very cold temperatures to the area being treated.

Patients usually required 2 sessions of the 45-minute treatment six weeks apart. Patients can begin to notice a reduction in the double chin as promptly as 4 weeks, but full results can be anticipated 3 months after the second treatment.

Belkyra, non-surgical procedure for a double chin.

Belkyra injections are another non-surgical option, containing Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that is highly effective in breaking down fats cells, resulting in the reduction of the appearance of upper neck fat, or “double chin”. It is the first and only injectable method approved by the FDA that destroys fat cells permanently. Belkyra often requires two or more injections, which only require a short in-office appointment, scheduled six to eight weeks apart. Patients can anticipate mild symptoms such as bruising of the injection site, as well as swelling.

The combination of CoolSculpting with Belkyra injections yield the best results in the treatment of double chin. There needs to be sufficient amount of fat to fit in the CooSculpting applicator so we typically recommend starting with that treatment. Once peak results are achieved through CoolSculpting (in 2-3 months), we incorporate Belkyra injections to target any remaining subcutaneous fat in the area (if necessary). However, CoolSculpting may produce the desired results, eliminating the need for subsequent Belkyra injection(s).

Loose skin is often a concern that patients have when requesting treatment for a double chin. Fortunately, the CoolSculpting^®treatment is the first and only non-surgical fat reduction technology to be FDA-cleared for improved appearance of lax tissue in conjunction with sub-mental fat.

Love the skin you’re in with our non-invasive treatments to reduce the unwanted fat under your chin and contour your neck and jawline.
