Non-Surgical Treatment for Double Chin
At Dermapure Kelowna Central City, Belkyra is available as a non-surgical option to help reduce the appearance of a double chin. This concern may be influenced by genetics, aging or weight fluctuations, and it does not always reflect a person’s lifestyle or desired appearance.
Belkyra, also known as Kybella in the United States, is an injectable treatment approved by Health Canada and the FDA. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, targets fat cells under the chin and gradually eliminates them through natural metabolic processes. This contributes to a more refined jawline without surgery or significant downtime.
Because every patient is unique, a personalized consultation at our Kelowna Central City clinic is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. This step allows for a careful evaluation of your needs and how Belkyra may fit within your overall aesthetic care journey.
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 injectable treatment is designed specifically for the chin area and targets submental fullness in both men and women.
