Belkyra in Burlington

One of the main ingredients of Belkyra@ is deoxycholic acid. This acid is naturally generated in the liver, which it uses to help us digest the fats in our food. When used in a medical context, deoxycholic acid can break down body fat. The body then absorbs these fat cells, causing them to disappear for good.

Pockets of fat in the chin are notoriously hard to get rid of. It may seem like no matter how much dieting or exercising you do, that sagging around your jawline never wants to go away. Thankfully, when you come in for injections of Belkyra in Burlington, you can finally say goodbye to those unwanted fat cells weighing your confidence down.

When you arrive for your appointment, our skilled nurse injector applies a grid pattern to your submentum. This marks the spots where the needles will go. Once the guidelines are in place, we begin injecting you with deoxycholic acid. Each injection takes only a couple seconds, so you can expect to be in and out of our medical spa within an hour.

Depending on your individual concerns and budget, we may recommend the Emface™ procedure. This treatment effectively reduces the fat in this region as well as smooths and lifts the face and jawline.

There is very little downtime when you receive Belkyra in Burlington, which means you can return to your day immediately. You can relax at home, go back to work, or exercise as normal.

The areas injected may begin to feel hard and look swollen. This is normal and means your results are forming. Depending on how quickly your body processes the deoxycholic acid, you may see swelling up to 2 weeks. Expect redness and tenderness as well in the treatment area during this time.

This amount varies from patient to patient and is determined after your complete assessment by one of our highly trained nurses. They will take into consideration your concerns, your treatment goals and your expectations. Most patients are able to get their desired results in 2-4 treatments. 

Unfortunately, no. Belkyra® is specifically designed to treat the chin and jaw. If you want to reduce fat in your limbs, abdomen, and back, we can treat you with Emsculpt NEO™. This revolutionary device uses radiofrequency energy to melt fat rather than deoxycholic acid, helping to contour the body without invasive procedures.

From the same company, we also offer Emface™ skin tightening and lifting to reduce the appearance of uneven facial features. This treatment can achieve the same slimming effects as Belkyra® while also encouraging collagen production. This results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

If you have questions about how we can treat your body or facial concerns, join us for a free consultation. We can answer them for you and get you set up for an appointment if we find a solution that works for you.

We do! Our team has partnered with Beautifi Financing to offer our patients an alternative way to cover the costs of their treatments. With low interest rates and a monthly installment system, you can more easily afford the luxurious treatments you deserve.

Signing up is simple. All you have to do is apply online, which doesn’t impact your credit score and only takes about 3 minutes. Once you have received approval from a Beautifi loan specialist, you’re all set.

While our nurses are highly trained to educate and mitigate the risk of bruising on their end, this treatment still involves the use of needles and therefore bruising can occur. Any bruising that occurs around the treatment site can last up to several days.

Belkyra permanently targets the fat cells and destroys them, however aging continues. While you may no longer need Belkyra to the submentum again, fillers or skin tightening procedures may be recommended in the long term to keep up results.
