Fat-dissolving is the only Health Canada-approved injectable treatment for adults who are concerned with fullness below the chin (submental fat) and other areas like the bra line, around the armpits, arms, belly, back, inner thighs, and inner knees. This innovative treatment is good for both men and women who wish to revamp the appearance of their chin and other areas.
The active ingredient in Fat dissolvers is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
Fat dissolvers target and eliminate fat cells when injected into the area treatment areas. Fat dissolvers gradually improve the treatment areas over a number of sessions customized by your certified cosmetic nurse. Once your desired results are achieved, re-treatment is not expected.
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT PROCESS?
Once the unwanted area of fat is determined and mapped out, a small amount of Belkyra is injected into the targeted area. Immediately, the deoxycholic acid will begin to metabolize the fat cells, causing an inflammatory response, and break them down for easy elimination through the liver. Results can be seen as early as 4 weeks post-procedure.
HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?
Results are permanent! Once fat cells are destroyed, the body does not produce new ones. However, a healthy diet and active lifestyle are encouraged to help reduce the recurrence of weight gain which will cause other surrounding fat cells to get larger. Additional treatments may be needed if weight gain occurs.
