Recently launched in Australia (Feb 2017) Belkyra as its referred to is made up of Deoxycholic acid (DCA) and is an injectable substance that can remove unwanted fat from under the chin, sometimes called a turkey neck. DCA is a substance we naturally produce that helps break down fat in our bodies, when double chins are formed it can be difficult to remove this specific area. The injection of DCA will break down the specific unwanted fat over a few weeks as our bodies metabolise and excrete it.

During Treatment:

Before the injections begin, topical or injectable anaesthesia is applied, this is to ensure patient comfort is optimised. A special grid is applied to the area of unwanted fat under the chin and this will determine how many injections are required. Once the area has been marked up and area is anesthetised the fat dissolving injections begin, some patients experience some discomfort this will vary accordingly.
