How To Prepare For Your Belkyra™ Treatment

Belkyra™ is an innovative and effective, non-surgical cosmetic treatment to help sculpt your jawline and improve the appearance of a double chin. This injectable treatment contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps the body break down and absorb fat. Belkyra™ works to destroy fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline. If you are considering Belkyra™ for reducing submental fullness, or a double chin, the first step is to schedule a consultation with a qualified provider. During this consultation, your provider will examine your chin and neck area to determine if you are a good candidate for the Belkyra™. They will also explain the injection process, answer any questions you have, and give you personalized pre-treatment instructions. After your initial appointment, there are a few more steps you can take before your treatment to ensure the best possible results. Here are some tips to prepare for your Belkyra™ treatment.

Before Your Belkyra™ Treatment

  1. Avoid blood-thinning medications
    To reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding during and after the injection process, it's important to avoid blood-thinning medications in the days leading up to your Belkyra™ treatment. This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as certain supplements like fish oil and vitamin E. Be sure to consult with your skin care specialist and your primary care physician before stopping any prescribed medications.
  2. Stay hydrated
    Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your Belkyra™ treatment to help keep your skin healthy and hydrated. This will improve the injection process and recovery. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day, and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you.
  3. Plan for downtime
    While Belkyra™ injections are generally well-tolerated, it's still important to plan for some downtime after your treatment. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and redness in the chin and neck area, but these should resolve within 3-4 days. Plan to take it easy for a few days after your treatment and avoid strenuous exercise or other activities that may increase swelling or discomfort.
  4. Eat a healthy diet
    A healthy, well-balanced diet will help support your body's natural healing processes and minimize the risk of complications after your Belkyra™ treatment. Focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains, and avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and other unhealthy foods that may contribute to inflammation and poor healing.
  5. Wear comfortable clothing
    On the day of your Belkyra™ treatment, wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your chin and neck area. You may need to remove your shirt or blouse or wear a loose-fitting garment to ensure the injection process is as smooth as possible.
  6. Arrive early
    Finally, make sure to arrive at your appointment a few minutes early so that you have plenty of time to fill out any paperwork and prepare for the injection process. If you're feeling nervous or anxious about the treatment, try some deep breathing exercises or other relaxation techniques to help calm your nerves.

FAQ 

Q:What should I expect during a Belkyra™ treatment?
A: During a Belkyra™ treatment, we will first assess your candidacy for the procedure and develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results. During treatment, the Belkyra™ solution is injected directly into the submental fat using a small needle. The number of injections required will depend on the size of the area being treated and the individual's desired results. The treatment process typically takes around 15-20 minutes, and there is no downtime required.

Q: Is Belkyra™ safe?
A: Belkyra™ is a safe and Health Canada-approved treatment for improving the appearance of a double chin. The active ingredient in Belkyra™ is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to break down and absorb fat. As with any cosmetic treatment, there may be some risks and side effects associated with Belkyra™, such as swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. However, these side effects are generally mild and subside on their own within a few days.

Q: How many treatments will I need to see results with Belkyra™?
A: The number of Belkyra™ treatments required will depend on the individual's unique needs and goals. Some patients may see significant improvement after just one treatment, while others may require multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. We will develop a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals, which may include multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart. It is important to note that the results of Belkyra™ are long-lasting but not permanent and may require touch-up treatments to maintain.
