Procedure and Recovery
Belkyra treatments begin with a consultation to assess your chin profile and determine your optimal treatment plan. During the procedure, small injections of deoxycholic acid, are administered to the fat beneath the chin. This naturally-occurring molecule aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat in the body. Clients typically feel minimal discomfort, and the process is quick, making it an ideal choice for those seeking effective contouring without surgery.
Post-treatment, you may resume your normal activities almost immediately, though minor swelling or bruising can occur. These symptoms are temporary and signify the treatment’s effectiveness as the body naturally processes and eliminates fat cells. Optimal results are typically observed after 2 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced at least one month apart, with improvements becoming more visible as the area heals.
Belkyra is a safe, Health Canada-approved treatment, with side effects generally limited to temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin. Our experienced practitioners are dedicated to ensuring your comfort and safety, providing detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
