Belkyra® is a non-surgical double chin treatment that permanently reduces submental fullness. Whether caused by genetics, aging, or weight changes, a double chin can affect the balance of your profile and your overall confidence.
Belkyra® is the only Health Canada–approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin, allowing for a more sculpted jawline and smoother, more defined appearance—without surgery or downtime.
What Belkyra® Can Treat
Belkyra® is designed specifically to treat:
- Submental fullness (double chin)
- Mild to moderate fat deposits below the jawline
- Softening and re-contouring of the chin-neck angle
- Enhancing jawline definition in a non-surgical way
Note: Belkyra® is not intended for skin tightening or treatment of loose skin. Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity.
What to Expect
Before Treatment
- Personalized consultation and profile assessment
- Discussion of treatment goals and evaluation of fat distribution
- Photos may be taken for before-and-after comparison
- Skin is cleansed and prepped; numbing cream or local anesthetic may be used
During Treatment
- Multiple small injections are placed under the chin
- The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells over time
- You may feel mild stinging, pressure, or heat during injection
- Treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes
After Treatment
- Swelling under the chin is expected and normal, often peaking 24–48 hours post-treatment
- Redness, bruising, and tenderness may occur for a few days
- A feeling of firmness or numbness may persist for 1–2 weeks
- Taking an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Benadryl® may help reduce swelling and discomfort during the first 24–48 hours. (Always check with your provider or pharmacist to ensure it’s appropriate for you.)
What to Know Before Your Treatment
- Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil) for 48 hours prior, if medically appropriate
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to reduce bruising risk
- Do not schedule within 2 weeks of major events or travel, due to swelling and social downtime
- Let us know if you’ve had neck surgeries, liposuction, or other aesthetic procedures in the area
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing and arrive with clean skin
Results & Recovery
- Swelling is most noticeable after the first session and is part of the fat-dissolving process
- Most clients begin to see visible improvement after 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
- Up to 6 sessions may be required for optimal results, depending on the degree of fullness
- Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, making the results long-lasting to permanent
- Final results can take up to 3 months following the last treatment session
Not Suitable If You
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have loose, sagging skin with minimal fat under the chin
- Have a history of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) or bleeding disorders
- Have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area
- Have had recent neck or chin surgery (within 6 months)
- Prefer minimal swelling or downtime—Belkyra® involves predictable post-treatment swelling
