Belkyra™ (also known as Kybella™ in the United States) is a revolutionary non-surgical injectable option to successfully treat submental (under the chin) fat. This in turn effectively eliminates the double chin. It is the first and only non-surgical FDA and Health Canada approved treatment to address submental fat.
Sometimes, a double chin has nothing to do with your weight. At times your double chin may be due to hormones or it could be hereditary. Belkyra™ and Kybella™ are ideal for people who are:
Our medical professional will assess the treatment area and discuss your desired look. Based on the consultation we will be able to determine how many treatments will be needed to achieve your goal. Then, Belkyra™ is injected under the chin causing the destruction of fat cells. Upon destruction, these cells won’t be able to store fat, making the results of your Belkyra™ treatment permanent.
Upon arrival of your Belkyra™ appointment, we will take a few “before” photos so you and your injector can track the difference.
Next, a topical analgesic will be applied to make your Belkyra™ treatment more comfortable. A transparent grid will be placed onto your chin acting as a grid for the injector to follow. This ensures accuracy and optimal smooth balanced results.
Patients experience minimal downtime after a Belkyra™ treatment. Once your goals are achieved, retreatment is typically not expected. Many people notice a visible improvement in their profile in just 2-4 treatments; however, your medical professional may recommend up to 6 treatments.
Remember to keep in mind the following post-care tips:
The injection of Belkyra™ causes the destruction of fat cells. Those fat cells can no longer store fat. After the initial series of treatments, the results are permanent.
As with all other cosmetic injectable treatments, most patients may experience mild to moderate side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, pain, numbness, tingling or itchiness and a sensation of warmth. The effects should subside within a few days.

Based on your consultation with our medical professional and your desired outcome, you may need 2-4 treatments which are administered 4-6 weeks apart. In some cases, patients may need up to 6 treatments.
