Belkyra
Eliminate Double Chin with Belkyra Injections:
Transform Your Skin with Expert Care at Emerald Skin Lab.
Proven Results
Belkyra is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to target and reduce submental fat—the fat that accumulates beneath the chin. Using a naturally occurring molecule called deoxycholic acid, Belkyra destroys fat cells in the treated area, resulting in a more sculpted and defined chin and jawline. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and provides long-lasting results without the need for surgery or extended downtime.

What to Expect
At a Glance
-
Skin Assessment: During this session, we'll assess the area beneath your chin and determine if you're a good candidate for Belkyra. We'll also discuss your goals and the amount of fat in the treatment area.
Personalized Treatment Plan: We will tailor your treatment plan to your unique needs. The number of sessions and the number of injections required will depend on the amount of fat to be treated and the contour goals you want to achieve.
Health Evaluation: We will ask about your medical history, any current medications, and any other treatments you may be undergoing to ensure that Belkyra is safe and appropriate for you.
-
We capture photos for your patient profile to track progress over time and monitor your skin’s improvement after each treatment.
-
Clean Skin: Your treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned before the procedure to reduce the risk of infection.
Topical Numbing Cream: To ensure your comfort during the injections, we may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area. This typically takes about 15-20 minutes to take effect.
-
Swelling and Redness: It’s common to experience swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area immediately after the injections. This is a natural response and should subside within a few days.
Ice Compresses: Applying cold compresses or ice to the area can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Avoid Touching the Area: It’s important not to massage or manipulate the treated area for a few days after the procedure to allow the deoxycholic acid to work its way into the fat cells.

Follow-Up and Maintainance
Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: Treatment should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Extra caution is advised for individuals with very sensitive skin or darker skin tones (Types V and VI).
Contraindications
Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Gentle Care: Use mild cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and avoid picking or scratching peeling skin.
Hydration: Use non-comedogenic products.
Rest: Avoid sweating or strenuous activities for a week.
Follow-Up: Results from Belkyra are not instant. It typically takes 2-4 weeks for the fat reduction process to begin, and 3-4 months to see the final results as the fat cells are gradually eliminated. Most clients require 2–4 treatments to achieve optimal results. Treatments are spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to allow your body time to metabolize the fat.
FAQs
-
Belkyra is ideal for individuals with moderate to mild fat under the chin, looking for a non-surgical way to reduce their double chin. It's perfect for those with a stable weight and good skin elasticity, but it's not suitable for people with excessive fat, loose skin, or those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions.
-
Yes, it has been proven to work through both clinical studies and real-world use. Here's why:
1. Proven Results in Clinical Studies:
FDA Approval: Belkyra was approved by the FDA in 2015 specifically for the treatment of submental fat, making it a trusted and scientifically validated option.
Study Results: Clinical studies have shown that Belkyra can reduce submental fat by up to 30% after just a few treatments. The results are visible after about 2–4 treatments, with noticeable improvements appearing within 4-6 weeks after each session.
Patient Satisfaction: Many patients report being very satisfied with the results, noting a significant improvement in their profile and overall facial harmony after completing their treatment plan.
2. Long-Lasting Results:
Since Belkyra works by permanently destroying fat cells, the results are long-lasting. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not regenerate, so the treated area remains contoured and defined.
However, for the results to be maintained, it’s important to maintain a stable weight. Significant weight gain can potentially lead to the accumulation of new fat in the area.
3. Gradual and Natural-Looking Results:
One of the reasons people are so happy with Belkyra is that it offers a gradual reduction in fat, leading to a natural-looking improvement. The results develop over several weeks as the body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells.
Unlike more invasive treatments (like liposuction), Belkyra provides a subtle, natural contour without the need for recovery time or surgery.
-
Most patients experience a permanent reduction in submental fat. The results from Belkyra are long-lasting because the treatment works by destroying fat cells in the treated area.
Permanent Results: Once the fat cells are eliminated, they won’t come back.
Long-Lasting: As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, your results from Belkyra should last indefinitely.
Touch-Ups: Occasionally, patients may need touch-ups if they gain significant weight or if they want to enhance their results further.
After completing your full treatment plan, you can expect to enjoy a more defined jawline and chin for many years.
-
While there may be some mild discomfort during and after the procedure, most patients find the results are well worth the temporary discomfort. Since Belkyra is a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime, it provides an effective way to contour the chin and jawline without the need for invasive surgery.
