Offered at your clinic

Book an Appointment

Belkyra is a prescription medication and one of several injectable options offered at our clinics. The procedure is brief and performed in-office by a physician or healthcare professional. As with any medical treatment, results depend on individual anatomy and treatment plan, and the procedure may be considered on its own or as part of a broader plan discussed during consultation.

Because every patient’s anatomy, goals and medical history are different, Belkyra at our clinics in Ottawa always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether Belkyra is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Personalized Assessment

We believe in a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results. Our medical professionals will evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and fat distribution to determine the most effective treatment approach for reducing submental fullness. Factors like skin elasticity, genetics, and age are considered to ensure a safe treatment with natural-looking results.

Step 2
Take Pictures

To track your visible improvement, we take before and after pictures of your chin area. This allows both you and your qualified healthcare provider to assess the progress of your treatment over time.

Step 3
Apply a Numbing Gel
Your comfort is our priority. A lidocaine-based numbing gel is applied before the injection process to minimize discomfort. This ensures a more comfortable experience, especially for patients sensitive to injectable treatments.
Step 4
Begin Injections
Our expert medical team, including doctors and trained nurses, uses precise techniques to inject the treatment directly into fatty tissue under the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works to break down fat cell membranes over time. Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes, and patients may use a mirror to follow the procedure if they wish.
Step 5
Minimal Downtime
Some temporary swelling, bruising, or moderate discomfort is normal after treatment. Patients are advised to follow post-treatment instructions, including using an ice pack to reduce temporary swelling and avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours. Most people can return to their normal activities quickly, making this a low-risk procedure with minimal downtime.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

This treatment typically does not require ongoing maintenance, although follow-up or touch-up sessions may be recommended when appropriate. For optimal results, many patients may require 2 to 4 treatment sessions spaced approximately 4 to 8 weeks apart.

Contraindications

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not receive this treatment.
