Dissolve stubborn fat and let your body do the rest.
Did you know?
Fat-dissolving injectables (Kybella®, Belkyra®) contain a synthetic version of the same acid that our bodies use to help break down fats we ingest. When injected, this acid ruptures the fat storage cells so that they can be reabsorbed by the body.

Fat dissolvers can help address stubborn areas of fat that respond less to dietary and lifestyle changes. Dr. Maloney primarily prescribes Belkyra® treatments to slim the area below the jaw + chin, but she also administers it to other resistant areas, including around the underarms.
