Belkyra injections to reduce submental fullness (or double chin)
Belkyra injection is a non-surgical treatment offered at Victoria Park Medispa, which allows for the reduction of a double chin without resorting to chin liposuction. The contour of a face can be defined by several factors: the shape of the jaw, skin elasticity, and subcutaneous fat.
In addition, there are certain genetic factors. This makes this area of the body particularly difficult to shape naturally, even with a balanced diet and physical activity. For more defined features and a firmer face, non-invasive solutions such as Belkyra are highly recommended.
What is Belkyra?
Belkyra is a product composed of a molecule that the human body naturally produces: deoxycholic acid. This molecule typically destroys fats in the intestine. What makes Belkyra innovative is that it directly eliminates fat cells at the injection site, targeting the fat under the chin. Once these cells are affected by Belkyra, they dissolve and are eliminated by the body. It is important to note that naturally, fat cells are not eliminated by the body’s mechanisms.
For example, when an individual exercises and eats healthily, these cells lose volume, but they continue to exist. This means they can still store fat if the individual’s diet changes. Belkyra, on the other hand, allows for their permanent removal, giving the lower face and neck a more defined appearance. Additionally, besides destroying fat cells, Belkyra is known to cause epidermal tightening, which visually translates to toned skin. Only an experienced healthcare professional can inject this solution. For the treatment to be effective and safe, the healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa injects it into the area under the chin, at a precise depth between the skin and the muscle. Several injections may be necessary to achieve the desired result, depending on the extent of the double chin. However, patients can notice an improvement in their appearance after the first few sessions.
Modern cosmetic surgery
Cosmetic surgery offers solutions to individuals looking to improve their physical appearance, boost their confidence, or correct potentially dangerous conditions. The various procedures in this field address needs ranging from correcting birth defects to aesthetic improvements for changes affecting the body, such as weight loss or the effects of natural aging.
- Aesthetic excision: for the removal of imperfections
- Lobuloplasty: to reshape earlobes
- Blepharoplasty: to rejuvenate the gaze
- Lipectomy: to sculpt and firm the body
- Labiaplasty: for comfort and intimate aesthetics
- Liposuction: to slim and tone the silhouette
Belkyra treatment: for whom?
Belkyra treatment is specifically designed for adults who want to reshape their profile and get rid of their double chin without surgery. The reasons for submental fat can be multiple: skin aging, heredity, or poor posture. For those who live with this characteristic and feel powerless to change it, Victoria Park Medispa offers Belkyra injections. The submental area can be refined, the jawline better defined, and its contour more sculpted. The entire face can even appear rejuvenated.
If the candidate is eligible for the treatment, the next step is to schedule the appointment. At that time, the healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa marks the injection points on the patient’s skin. A numbing cream can be applied if necessary to ensure the treatment remains comfortable and painless. The procedure takes between fifteen and thirty minutes on average. Following the treatment, redness, bruising, and pain may be felt at the injection sites. It is important to note that swelling may appear at the injection site and last for an average of 11 days. To achieve results that meet the patient’s expectations, it is necessary to repeat the procedure at one-month intervals. Depending on the case, between two and six sessions may be required. To prolong the effects of the treatment, it is ideal to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet.
In summary
Belkyra is a non-surgical treatment using a molecule called deoxycholic acid to target and destroy fat cells under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells are naturally eliminated by the body, providing a firmer and more defined facial contour. This treatment also tones the skin by tightening the tissues.
Belkyra injections are suitable for adults looking to reduce their double chin without surgery. This treatment is ideal for those whose submental fat is due to aging, heredity, or poor posture. A prior consultation determines if the patient is a good candidate.
Depending on the amount of fat under the chin, it generally takes between two and six sessions, spaced one month apart. Improvement is visible after the first few sessions, but optimal results require multiple treatments. The effects are long-lasting, especially if healthy lifestyle habits are maintained.
Side effects include redness, bruising, pain, or swelling at the injection site, which can last up to 11 days. These reactions are temporary and normal as part of the healing process. It is recommended to follow the professional’s advice to minimize discomfort.
Alternatives to Belkyra injections to improve facial contour
For patients with significant submental fullness, neck liposuction can be a solution explored with the team at Victoria Park Medispa to address the issue. This minimally invasive surgery involves making a small incision in the skin and inserting a very fine cannula, which leaves only a small scar, to suction out the fat.
Only a few sessions are needed for remarkable results. To achieve harmonious results, it may be interesting to combine this procedure with dermal filler injections, which firm and smooth the skin while deeply hydrating it. Among the most effective fillers, several are available at the clinic, including Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane.
