What does a Belkyra treatment look like?

Before the treatment, the area to be treated may be numbed with a local anesthetic (such as lidocaine) or with Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, or another NSAID to improve patient comfort.

The doctor then injects 0.2 ML of Belkyra subcutaneously (under the skin) with 1 cm spacing in the treatment area. The maximum dosage is 5 vials of Belkyra of 2 ML per treatment. A session lasts 30–45 minutes. After the treatment, the double chin area may feel painful and sensitive. This feeling usually disappears within a few days.

According to the leaflet, a maximum of 6 treatment sessions may be performed. Most patients notice improvement after 2 to 4 sessions. At least 4 weeks are recommended between treatments.
