What it is
A combination of factors such as lifestyle, hormones, heredity and age can contribute to the formation of stubborn fatty areas. Also known as Kybella® in the U.S., Belkyra™ is a substance called deoxycholic acid, which emulates the acid naturally created by the liver that aids in the digestion of fat. Belkyra™ is a treatment for submental fullness.
How it works
When Belkyra is administered, the deoxycholic acid helps the body to metabolize and filter away fat.
