Restore a youthful definition of your jawline! Belkyra is a minimally invasive treatment that was originally designed to reduce the fat of a double chin. This treatment has now proven effective in the jowl area, upper arms, and other parts of the body.
It is composed of a naturally occurring substance in our gut called Deoxycholic Acid. It is injected directly into the subcutaneous far pad in a grid pattern. The fat cells in that are a rapidly destroyed and then absorbed. The overlying skin will naturally contract.
Benefits
- Non-surgical
- Minimal downtime
- Once desired results are achieved, additional treatments are usually not required
What To Expect
The appointment can take 30 to 60 minutes and your treatment plan is customized to achieve your specific goals. Once the treatment area has been mapped out and pre-cooled for comfort, you will receive a series of multiple quick injections. The area will be immediately iced. You may experience swelling, bruising, discomfort, and numbness in the treatment area, which is temporary.
How It Works
The active ingredient in BELKYRA™ is deoxycholic acid which is a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies that facilitates the breakdown of and absorption of fat.
When injected under the chin, it causes destruction of the fat cell membrane allowing your body to break it down. For best results space your treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart.
Results

Most patients will see visible improvements in their chin profile in 2 to 4 treatments. In some cases up to 6 treatments are required. Once desired results have been reached, re-treatment is usually not required.
Number Of Sessions
Between 2 and 6 treatments spaced every 6 – 8 weeks.
Downtime
- Swelling, possible bruising and itching.
- Possible tingling, pins and needles, or pain.
- Possible temporary nodules under the skin.
