Belkyra Fat Dissolving

It is made by the same company, Allergan, but in the USA it goes by the name Kybella. Whether you look up to the Kardashians for your cosmetic look or not, this product is the first and only Health Canada approved injectable treatment for the improvement of fullness under the chin. It is not only for the ladies; it is just as popular among men as it is among women.

The treatment will require a bit of pre-planning for social downtime of about 2-4 days. Social downtime means common side effects like swelling, bruising, pain and numbness are expected and no word of a lie… you may feel like you have a turkey neck as it is taking effect. However; we have been told by the Allergan training team that the more you swell and if you experience that turkey neck feeling, the better it is working. Most people have said the “giggle feeling” peaks within 48 hours and then begins to improve each day afterward. It feels worse than it looks. Side effects are worst after the first treatment and less after each subsequent treatment. This treatment is great for Fall/Winter when scarves/turtlenecks might be a good option. Prior to administering Belkyra, your doctor or RN will apply ice/cold packs, a topical numbing cream, and/or injectable local anesthesia (e.g., lidocaine) to make you more comfortable. You may be instructed to take a Tylenol/aceteminophen before your appointment. The injections take about 15-30 mins and are done with a very fine needle. The number of injections required decreases for your subsequent treatments, and so too does the price. In clinical trials, pain was felt right after treatment, but decreased rapidly within 15 mins. You may apply ice or cool packs off and on after treatment as needed and continue with your Tylenol.
