The Wellcare Medical Centre is excited to announce we are now offering Belkyra treatments for double chins.

Also disparagingly known as turkey necks, gobblers or wattles, excess fat under the chin is a source of embarrassment for many men and women that undermines their confidence and self-esteem. Contrary to common misperceptions, fullness under the chin can occur in any body type, not just those who are overweight.

The pillow of fat that sits below the jawline produces an appearance of a double chin and often makes people appear older or heavier than they really are. It can be caused by extra weight, and ageing, and is also hereditary – frustratingly exercise and diet often have very little effect on reducing the size of a double chin.

Belkyra is a simple new injectable cure, that has been recently released in Australia, and the treatment results are permanent. The new treatment was developed in the United States and has been in development for over a decade. Belkyra is the only non-surgical injectable treatment available worldwide for the reduction of turkey necks or double chins.

The simple injection uses a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring compound in the body that absorbs fats. Results achieved with Belkyra are in line with those achieved with liposuction but are less invasive and don’t require the same recovery time.

The process itself is very safe when executed by a trained professional and only takes around 15 minutes per treatment. Some pain that occurs during the treatment usually only lasts for about 5-10 minutes and most people only need two to four treatments to achieve their desired outcome. Treatments are spaced around 4 weeks apart and ideally you should allow for 1-2 days of downtime after the treatment to allow some swelling and discomfort to recede.

Belkyra is an FDA-approved medical breakthrough for the permanent, non-invasive treatment of double chins. To enquire about, or book in for a treatment, get in touch here.
