BELKYRA® (deoxycholic acid) injection also known as KYBELLA® in the United States is the first and only FDA/Health Canada-approved injectable treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin”.

The active ingredient in BELKYRA® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, BELKYRA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

The Physicians and Staff at Phoenix Medical Spa will assist you in developing a plan on how many treatments you need. Once the desired aesthetic response is achieved with BELKYRA®, retreatment is not expected. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 treatment sessions. Up to 6 treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart.
