What does a Belkyra treatment look like?
Before treatment, the area may be numbed with a local anaesthetic (such as lidocaine). Over-the-counter pain relief, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen (NSAIDs), may also be recommended to improve comfort.
A qualified and registered medical professional will administer small injections of Belkyra just beneath the skin in the treatment area. The number of injections and dosage will depend on your individual treatment plan. A typical session takes around 30–45 minutes.
After treatment, the area under the chin may feel tender or sensitive. These effects usually settle within a few days.
According to the patient information leaflet, up to 6 treatment sessions may be carried out. Many patients notice visible improvement after 2 to 4 sessions. A minimum interval of 4 weeks between treatments is recommended.

What results can you expect?
Swelling in the treated area is common during the first week and forms part of the expected response. Initial improvements may be visible after approximately 2 weeks, with further changes developing over time. Results are typically seen after a course of treatments, with final outcomes usually visible around 6 weeks after the last session. The reduction in fat cells is considered long-lasting; however, results may vary between individuals and long-term data is still being evaluated.
