Image of Belkyra®

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 

Pricing & Booking 

Belkyra® pricing is based on the number of vials used per session. Most clients require 2–4 vials per treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Belkyra® image
  • What is Belkyra® made of?

    Belkyra® contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    Most clients need 2–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Some may require up to 6 depending on the degree of fullness and desired contour.

  • Is the swelling really that noticeable?

    Yes—swelling is expected and part of the treatment process, especially after the first session. It typically peaks in 1–2 days and subsides over the next several days.

  • Will the fat come back?

    No. Once fat cells are destroyed and flushed from the body, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve your results.

  • Can Belkyra® be used on other areas?

    Belkyra® is only approved for use under the chin. It is not recommended for use on other body areas.

  • Does it hurt?

    Most clients tolerate the treatment well. Numbing cream or local anesthetic can be used, and the injections are quick. A mild burning or tingling sensation may occur during treatment.
