Non-Surgical Treatment for Double Chin
For many people, the appearance of a double chin doesn’t reflect how they feel about their overall facial balance. Submental fullness is a common concern that can be influenced by factors such as genetics, aging or weight fluctuations, and often persists despite a balanced lifestyle. Belkyra offers a non-surgical option to help refine the jawline by targeting excess fat under the chin.
Also known as Kybella in the United States, Belkyra is an injectable treatment approved by Health Canada and the FDA. It contains deoxycholic acid, a synthetic form of a molecule naturally found in the body that helps break down fat. Once injected, the product works by disrupting the fat cell membranes, allowing the body to gradually eliminate them. As the treated fat cells are no longer able to store fat, the effects can be long-lasting.
This injectable treatment is designed specifically for the chin area and targets submental fullness in both men and women.
At Dermapure, 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.
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 Belkyra treatment over time.
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.
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.
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.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
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.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not receive this treatment.

This treatment may be considered for men and women who wish to reduce submental fullness without cosmetic surgery. It may be appropriate for individuals who notice persistent fat under the chin despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable body weight. This non-surgical approach is generally better suited for those with good skin elasticity, as it is not intended to treat excess or significantly loose skin.
This treatment may not be appropriate for individuals with concerns related to significant skin laxity, an active skin condition in the treatment area, or a history of severe reactions to injectable treatments. A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional can help determine whether this treatment is appropriate and discuss available options for addressing a double chin.
The number of treatment sessions varies based on your fat distribution, skin elasticity, and treatment goals. Most patients require 2 to 4 treatments, but some may need up to 6 sessions for optimal double chin reduction.
Each session is spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow your body to naturally eliminate the fat cells. During your consultation, our medical professionals will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
This treatment is a non-surgical injectable procedure. While discomfort can vary from person to person, many patients report a mild to moderate burning or stinging sensation during the injection process. To help improve comfort, a numbing agent may be applied before the procedure, and an ice pack may be used afterward to help reduce temporary swelling.
Any discomfort typically subsides within a few hours, and over-the-counter pain medication may be taken if needed. Your healthcare provider will discuss ways to help ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
This treatment works gradually as the body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells. Many patients begin to notice visible changes within 4 to 6 weeks after their first session, with optimal improvement often observed after several treatments.
Because the process depends on the body’s natural ability to break down and clear fatty tissue, the timeline may vary from person to person. Your healthcare provider will guide you through the expected progression based on your personalized treatment plan.
The results of this treatment can be long-lasting because the treated fat cells are destroyed and do not regenerate. However, maintaining the outcome may depend on factors such as body weight, lifestyle, and the natural aging process. Significant weight gain may lead to the development of new fatty tissue in the area.
Your healthcare provider will provide aftercare instructions and guidance to help you maintain your results over time.
Yes, most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. To minimize side effects, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, heavy alcohol consumption, and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 to 48 hours.
Our medical team will provide detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
