Belkyra® treatment
The appearance of a double chin is one of the signs of aging, and is often the cause of considerable discomfort. This is where the Belkyra (or Kybella) treatment comes into its own: reducing a double chin without surgery. The oval of the face regains its firmness and tone.

What is Belkyra®?
Belkyra® treatment is based on an injectable solution with the property of breaking down fat. It is a very recent treatment whose active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a natural constituent of bile.The effects are permanent, as fat cells (adipocytes) are permanently destroyed.
Who should undergo Belkyra® double chin treatment?
Treatment with Belkyra® is indicated for anyone wishing to get rid of their double chin without undergoing surgery. The appearance of a double chin can be the result of weight gain, the effects of age or a genetic predisposition.
How does Belkyra® work?
Belkyra treatment is based on deoxycholic acid, a bile acid produced by the gut microbiota. It has the ability to break down and eliminate fat. When this compound is injected into the double chin area, the fat is permanently eliminated.It should be noted that if the excess skin is very significant, liposuction and a facelift are still preferable. Dr. Hayot will examine you during an initial appointment and advise you on the solution best suited to your needs.
How does a Belkyra treatment with Dr Hayot work?
Your practitioner determines the location of the area to be treated and the injection points (usually 15 to 20), and adjusts the dose of product required to the amount of fat to be dissolved. He may apply an anaesthetic cream (the procedure is not very painful), then performs micro-injections using a very small-gauge needle. The whole procedure takes about 30 minutes.You may feel some tingling, heaviness and warmth at the end of the session, which quickly subsides and can be relieved by applying ice.Hematomas at injection sites and swelling may occur in the days that follow. In most cases, however, you will be able to resume your normal activities as soon as possible.
What are the benefits of Belkyra®?
The result is definitive. Fat cells are destroyed and do not return. Belkyra is the equivalent of medical liposuction, with the added benefit of a retracting effect due to the inflammatory reaction that follows the injection. Inflammatory side effects (redness, swelling, heat) are a sign that the product is having a positive effect on skin retraction.
Are there any contraindications to Kybella® Belkyra® treatment?
A number of contraindications are investigated and eliminated before the decision to treat is made:
- A chin infection
- Coagulation disorders
- Thyroid disorders
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
