Belkyra, also known internationally as Kybella in the United States, is a groundbreaking injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, more commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a natural molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Belkyra effectively destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.
The treatment process begins with a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who will assess your suitability for Belkyra. During the treatment session, the area under the chin is marked for precision, and a series of small injections are made. The number of injections and sessions required can vary depending on the amount of fat and the desired aesthetic outcome. Each session typically lasts around 15 to 20 minutes, and many patients experience visible results after 2 to 4 treatments.
Choosing Belkyra for double chin reduction comes with several benefits. Firstly, it offers a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, with minimal downtime required. The procedure is relatively quick and painless, with most patients reporting only mild discomfort. Additionally, the results of Belkyra are long-lasting, as the destroyed fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a more contoured and defined jawline.
Recovery after Belkyra treatment is usually straightforward. Some patients may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin, but these side effects typically subside within a week or two. There is minimal downtime required, allowing most individuals to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. It is important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible results.
Belkyra offers an effective and safe solution for those looking to reduce the appearance of a double chin and achieve a more defined jawline without undergoing surgery. With its relatively quick process, minimal downtime, and lasting results, it's no wonder why Belkyra is becoming a popular choice for individuals seeking cosmetic enhancement. If you're considering Belkyra treatment, be sure to consult with a qualified professional to determine if it's the right option for you.
Dysport is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that smoothes dynamic wrinkles and lines throughout your face, like glabellar lines between the brows. Much like other types of wrinkle relaxer injectables, Dysport is composed of a purified strain of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax or paralyze particular muscle groups in the facial area. When these regions are relaxed, the common movements that cause dynamic lines are limited and the skin attached to the muscle is tightened. This enables you to frown or smile frequently without leading to dynamic wrinkles. It also delivers refreshed outcomes that don't make you look "overdone." At Spa Asteria, we are thrilled to offer Dysport injections to help Park City, UT area patients appear refreshed and youthful.
Dysport injectables are administered in one of our treatment rooms following your exam and discussion with Vanessa M. Hart, M.D. The procedure takes around 15 – 30 minutes. A numbing gel is typically unnecessary because the injections involve using a fine-gauge needle that causes very little discomfort, but the gel can be applied upon request. After the treatment region has been sterilized, several Dysport injections will be placed along the forehead, followed by an ice pack to lessen bruising and inflammation. After your treatment at Spa Asteria, you may resume your day-to-day tasks, but you should try to avoid heavy activities for about a full day. Results are commonly seen in 1 – 3 days as the appearance of dynamic wrinkles decreases to create a smoother, rejuvenated look.
Dysport typically lasts up to four months, however this may vary depending on the individual. It is recommended to receive Dysport injections every three to four months in order to maintain desired results.
Some slight swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites may occur, but these effects don't last long. We recommend avoiding rigorous physical activity and touching the treatment sites for the next day or so. After a few days, you may begin to notice results. BOTOX's smoothing effects may last up to four months. We'll consult with you about how often you should schedule follow-up injections.
