Belkyra Double Chin Reduction
In our modern world of selfies and Zoom calls, it’s no wonder so many people are bothered by the appearance of a saggy neckline, sometimes known as a “double chin”. Genetics, natural aging or weight gain can lead to extra fat under the chin, causing you to look older and heavier than you actually are! While no one wants this, unfortunately, fat in this area can sometimes stick around even if you’ve lost weight in other areas through diet and exercise. If you’re hoping to ditch that double chin but aren’t looking to undergo surgery, a Belkyra double chin reduction may be the solution for you.
Belkyra uses injections to permanently dissolve fat in the targeted area, which allows the natural bone structure to be visible. Belkyra can help you to reveal a sleeker, more contoured jawline, improving your appearance from both the front and the side. So what exactly is Belkyra, and how does it work? Keep reading to find out.
What is Belkyra?
Belkyra is a formula that is approved by both the FDA and Health Canada, consisting of a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is identical to your own natural bile acid. In the body, bile is released by the liver in order to digest a fatty meal and aids in the absorption of fat. After numbing the area with a topical cream, fine needles are used to inject the Belkyra formula into the area underneath the chin, melting fat to create an attractive, defined jawline. Belkyra targets fat by dissolving the outer covering of the cell, bursting it like a balloon. The fat from the cells is then released into the bloodstream and excreted by the body. Once these cells are gone, they do not return.
What Can I Expect From Treatments?
The Belykra double chin reduction is a great alternative to traditional surgical procedures such as liposuction. The treatment takes as little as 30 minutes with no downtime needed afterwards, meaning you can return to your regular activities right away. Because of its non-invasive nature, the risks are minimal. You may have some swelling and feel mild discomfort following treatment. The number of treatments needed for the best results varies by individual. Depending on the amount of fat present, a single treatment may be enough, but generally 2-4 treatments are recommended and are spaced about a month apart. Typically, results will be seen within 4-6 weeks, and the results are permanent! Once Belkyra removes the fat cells under your chin, they are gone forever, assuming you maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight. The results from a Belkyra double chin reduction are progressive, meaning that you’ll see gradual improvements over the course of several months after treatment.
If you’re bothered by your double chin, you’re not alone. It’s amazing the difference a tighter, more contoured neckline can make for someone’s overall appearance and confidence.
