Belkyra® is a treatment for submental fullness, more commonly referred to as the double chin.

Belkyra® is a Health Canada approved product injected directly into the chin to dissolve fat cells.  Belkyra® can contour the shape of your lower face by eliminating fat and resulting in a more defined chin and jawline.

Belkyra’s main active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a similar synthetic version of a molecule your body produces naturally to break down fat.  When injected, fat membranes are destroyed and the remaining is absorbed back into the body.

When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Belkyra® destroys fat cells, and once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. This results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, revealing an improved chin profile.

Following an in-depth consultation with one of our specialists, a treatment usually takes about fifteen to thirty minutes. Depending on the severity of submental fullness, a client may need two to six treatments.

Treatment is relatively pain-free. There may be some temporary soreness or swelling following treatment

Swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, areas of hardness, tingling or itchiness in the treatment area.

The improvement of your chin profile will gradually improve over a number of treatment sessions customized by your health care provider. Typically, 2-4 treatments are recommended which are administered at 4-6 week intervals. Up to 6 treatments may be administered.

Sessions are spaced no more than one month apart and a maximum of 6 treatments may be given.

Re-treatment is not needed in most patients and the results have been noted to last at least 4 years.
