Belkyra
Non-Surgical Treatment for Double Chin Reduction
Belkyra (known as Kybella in the United States) is an FDA and Health Canada-approved injectable treatment designed to improve the appearance of moderate to severe submental fullness, commonly referred to as a “double chin.” The active ingredient in Belkyra is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Belkyra destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness and a more contoured jawline.

During your treatment, a series of small injections are administered into the fat tissue beneath your chin.
The procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. To enhance comfort, a topical numbing cream or ice pack may be applied before the injections.
Most clients require multiple treatment sessions, spaced at least one month apart, to achieve optimal results. The exact number of sessions varies based on individual needs but generally ranges from 2 to 6 treatments.
After the procedure, you may experience temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, or areas of hardness around the treatment area. These effects are normal and usually subside within a few days to weeks
Typically requiring 2–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Some individuals may need additional treatments depending on the size and shape of the treatment area. Gradual improvements can be seen after each session, with the full results becoming visible within 2–3 months.
Once achieved, the results are long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed.
