Summary Content

Belkyra® is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness—commonly known as a double chin. It is the first and only Health Canada-approved injectable treatment that targets and eliminates fat cells beneath the chin, resulting in a more defined and contoured jawline.

Belkyra® contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the area beneath the chin, it permanently destroys fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body over time.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, our expert providers assess your facial profile and customize your Belkyra® treatment plan to achieve natural, balanced results. Most patients require a series of treatments—typically 2 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart—to achieve optimal outcomes.

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.

Belkyra® is ideal for individuals seeking a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or neck lift procedures. With the precision and care of our experienced team, Rejuvenation Dermatology can help you achieve a slimmer, more sculpted neckline with lasting results.

What is Belkyra®?

Belkyra® is a non-surgical injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly referred to as a "double chin." It is the only Health Canada-approved treatment that targets and permanently eliminates fat cells under the chin using deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down dietary fat.

When injected directly into the fat beneath the chin, Belkyra® destroys fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and removed by the body over time. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not return, making Belkyra® a long-lasting solution for contouring the jawline and enhancing facial definition.

Belkyra® is ideal for individuals who are bothered by fullness under the chin but prefer a non-surgical option over procedures like liposuction or neck lifts. The treatment is performed in a clinical setting and typically involves a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the desired outcome and the amount of fat being treated.

Benefits of Belkyra®

Belkyra® offers a range of benefits for individuals looking to reduce fullness under the chin without surgery:

  • Non-Surgical Fat Reduction
    Belkyra® provides a non-invasive alternative to liposuction, effectively targeting and eliminating stubborn fat beneath the chin without the need for incisions or general anesthesia.
  • Permanent Results
    Once fat cells are destroyed and eliminated by the body, they do not return. With a full treatment series, results are long-lasting and do not typically require ongoing maintenance.
  • Improved Jawline Definition
    By reducing submental fullness, Belkyra® enhances the natural contours of the chin and jawline, creating a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
  • Minimal Downtime
    Treatment sessions are quick—often completed in under 30 minutes—with little to no downtime. Most patients can return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
  • Customizable Treatment
    Each Belkyra® plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. The number of sessions required varies based on the amount of fat and desired level of contouring.
  • Boosted Confidence
    A more defined profile can improve self-image and confidence, especially for those who have struggled with persistent chin fat despite diet and exercise.

What Conditions Can Belkyra® Address?

Belkyra® is specifically designed to target and treat submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. This type of stubborn fat can be resistant to diet and exercise, and often has a genetic component. Belkyra® is ideal for:

  • Localized Fat Under the Chin
    It effectively reduces the appearance of a double chin by permanently destroying fat cells, resulting in a more defined and contoured jawline.
  • Mild to Moderate Submental Fullness
    Patients with mild to moderate fullness beneath the chin are excellent candidates for Belkyra®, especially if they are seeking a non-surgical solution.
  • Asymmetry in Chin or Jawline Contour
    By precisely targeting pockets of fat, Belkyra® can help improve facial balance and symmetry.

While Belkyra® is currently approved for use under the chin, it may also be considered off-label in other small, well-defined areas of stubborn fat when assessed by experienced medical professionals.

What To Expect During a Belkyra® Treatment

Belkyra® treatments at Rejuvenation Dermatology are carefully tailored to deliver effective, natural-looking results in a safe and comfortable setting. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Personalized Consultation
    Your treatment journey begins with a consultation where our experienced provider evaluates your chin profile, discusses your aesthetic goals, and determines if Belkyra® is right for you. A customized treatment plan will be developed based on the amount of submental fullness and your desired outcome.
  2. Treatment Preparation
    On the day of your procedure, the treatment area is cleansed, and a grid is applied to guide precise injection placement. A local anesthetic may be used to enhance comfort during the procedure.
  3. Injection Process
    Using a fine needle, Belkyra® is injected into the targeted fat beneath the chin. The treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being addressed.
  4. Post-Treatment Sensations
    You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising, which are common and usually subside within a few days. Some patients feel a firmness or slight numbness in the area temporarily.
  5. Visible Results Over Time
    Most patients require 2–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. As the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells, your jawline will appear more defined and sculpted.

Our team at Rejuvenation Dermatology ensures every Belkyra® treatment is performed with precision, care, and your comfort in mind.

Hidradentitis Supprativa Treatment FAQ:

While the exact cause is unknown, HS is believed to be linked to inflammation of hair follicles, genetics, hormones, and immune response. It is not contagious or related to hygiene.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a chronic condition, which means it cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed. With a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, minor procedures, many patients experience fewer flare-ups and improved quality of life.

The timeline varies depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment approach. Some patients notice relief within a few weeks, especially with medication. Long-term management typically involves ongoing care and adjustments to the treatment plan to maintain control over symptoms and prevent progression.
