HOW BELKYRA™ WORKS
BELKYRA™ is injected into the treatment area and destroys the fat cell membrane resulting in the excretion of fat from the body.
BELKYRA™ (KYBELLA®) is a patented formulation of deoxycholic acid manufactured by BOTOX® maker Allergan. Deoxycholic acid naturally occurs in our bodies and is used to digest fat in our diets.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Belkyra?
Belkyra is a deoxycholic acid injection to treat moderate to severe submental fat (under the chin). Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Injection into the submental fat causes local destruction of the fat cells which are permanently eliminated from the body.
What are the common side effects?
Swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, areas of hardness, tingling or itchiness in the treatment area.
How many treatments will I need?
The improvement of your chin profile will gradually improve over a number of treatment sessions customized by your health care provider. Typically, 2-4 treatments are recommended which are administered at 4-6 week intervals. Up to 6 treatments may be administered.
Is it permanent?
Yes! Once your goals are achieved, re-treatment is not expected. The fat cells are permanently removed from your body and you cannot produce more fat cells. Should you gain weight, your existing fat cells can increase in size; however, so a healthy lifestyle is recommended to maintain optimal results.
When will I see results?
Your appearance will gradually improve with each treatment session. Many people see visible improvements in just 2-4 treatments. After the injection, the process of eliminating the fat cells occurs over the next 4 weeks. Optimum results will be seen 4-6 weeks after your treatment.
