Belkyra (deoxycholic acid) is a highly effective FDA-approved injectable treatment that is specially designed to destroy fat cells in the submental region, also known as the area under the chin. By directly targeting and bursting these fat cells, Belkyra can help to significantly reduce the appearance of a double chin and improve overall facial contouring. At Pure Aesthetics, our expert practitioners use Belkyra to help our clients achieve a more sculpted and youthful appearance. Most clients will require a minimum of two treatments, spaced four weeks apart, although some may require up to six treatments depending on the level of submental fullness and how their body responds to the treatment. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal after the treatment, and typically subside within 14 days. This is an important part of the treatment process, as it indicates that the treatment is working as intended.
