Most people may have a trouble spot that they wish they could fix – and for many that is their double chin. Whether it’s from age, weight loss or genetics – a double chin or weak jawline is a common problem area for men and women of all ages.
Fortunately, there is a way to visibly reduce a double chin and improve your chin profile through a non-invasive procedure offered at Richmond Cosmetic and Laser Clinic.
Belkyra (also known as Kybella in the United States) is a revolutionary injectable that can reduce fat in the area beneath your chin in as little as two to four treatments and is the only FDA-approved injectable for fat reduction underneath the chin.
A patented formulation of deoxycholic acid – which is a naturally occurring substance in the human body – Belkyra targets and eliminates fat cells to restore definition to the neck and jawline. Sessions can be done in less than 30 minutes and with mild to moderate downtime, following a consultation with Dr. Dr. Sahiholnasab (Sahih).
Note: The consultation process is an integral part of your treatment with Belkyra, as up to 50 per cent of those who request it are not a good candidate for a variety of reasons, including loose skin and little fat or too much fullness and fat in the neck area. In both these cases, a client could end up with “cobra neck” – a rare complication that occurs when the centre of the neck has too much fat or tissue removed.
Other uses for Belkyra include reducing or eliminating:
- Jaw jowls
- Bra bulge (front or back)
- Elbow and arm fat
- Bulging knees
- Stubborn belly fat
- Pubic-area fat
As with all injectables, it’s important to plan your treatment accordingly and it is advised to not have any special events scheduled for two weeks following your procedure.
At least two weeks before, avoid anything that can cause skin irritations and one week prior do not take any blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, herbal supplements, such as garlic, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, St. John’s Wort, omega-3 or Vitamin E.
Please note, it’s advised to avoid alcohol 24 hours before your first session.
