You may choose to have your Belkyra™ procedure performed with a local anesthetic to make it virtually painless, though many patients prefer treatment without. In this case, there is 5-15 minutes of an immediate uncomfortable stinging/pinching sensation that rises then quickly resolves. We apply a cool compress to help with this discomfort. If you’re especially worried about the procedure, you’re welcome to request comfort measures.

Following your treatment, you’ll likely experience some local tenderness and swelling. This sensation will dissipate after a few hours, while the general swelling takes a few weeks to fully resolve.

Patients often see results after the first treatment, but each subsequent treatment will improve the ultimate outcome for long lasting fat reduction and contouring. Most patients require at least two treatments to begin to see noticeable results.

The recovery time for this treatment is about 1-2 weeks. A series of 2-4 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart, is recommended to achieve optimal contouring results.

Neuromodulator treatments do not require recovery. Treatments are quick and you can return to all regular activities immediately.

The results of Belkyra™ treatments have been shown to be long lasting; repeat treatments after the initial series are not normally required.
