Kybella and Belkyra are two techniques used to eliminate the appearance of a double-chin by reducing excess fat.
The process takes minutes, and a great alternative to traditional treatment methods like liposuction, making them a more reassuring prospect.
Kybell and Belkyra are non-surgical, and consist of injectable, natural acids that target the fat underneath of the chin area, commonly associated with the double-chin effect.
Multiple injections help break down the fat, leading to a smoother chin and jawline area.
Kybella and Belkyra are considered safe alternatives to methods like liposuction, and offer quick recovery times with minimal discomfort or side effects.
The deoxycholic acid used in each treatment is naturally produced by the body to help break down and absorb fat.
Non-invasive and non-surgical method for eliminating a double-chin.
Permanent elimination of fat cells underneath the chin.
Treatments get to work immediately, with full effects seen in six months or less.
Quick treatment times of 30 minutes or less, on average.
Easy treatment utilizing multiple injections to target specific areas.
Uses deoxycholic acid, naturally produced by your own body.
Kybella and Belkyra are non-surgical, and consist of injectable, natural acids that target the fat underneath of the chin area, commonly associated with the double-chin effect. Treatments are quick, with mild or no discomfort, and minimal recovery times.
A series of injections are administered underneath the skin to the target area under the chin, at which point the deoxycholic acid immediately gets to work breaking down the fat cells, which are eventually absorbed and flushed out by the body’s lymphatic system. Once the treatment has been fully administered, the fat cells will not return, eliminating the need for future visits.
Typically, your beautician will devise a treatment plan according to your exact needs and profile. This can differ, but most full treatments require around 6 sessions in total, spaced out at least 1 month apart from one another.
Both Kybella and Belkyra are the same product, yet marketed with different names depending on the country they’re being used in. Kybella is most common in the United States, and is FDA approved, while Belkyra is marketed largely in Canada, Australia, Norway, and many other countries.
Kybella and Belkyra do not require additional treatments to maintain results after being administered. That’s because the fat cells in the chin are dissolved, and cannot retain the same level of fat as time passes.
Some clients report a mild stinging or pricking sensation as the injections are administered, while others report a slight burning sensation when the treatment is over. This is because the compound is actively destroying fat cells underneath the chin. Discomfort tends to last only a few minutes, and can be minimized with a cold pack or local anaesthetic.
