Are there any side effects or downtime associated with Belkyra™ injections, and when can I expect to see noticeable results after the treatment?

Belkyra™ injections are a safe procedure. However, like with any treatment, it may come with some side effects, like temporary swelling, pain or redness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days to a week. Some patients might experience numbness or tingling, which also tends to be temporary. Downtime is minimal, and most individuals can resume regular activities immediately after the treatment. Noticeable results usually appear within a few weeks as the body gradually eliminates the targeted fat cells. Full results appear over several months as your chin area becomes more sculpted and defined. Individual responses to treatment may vary.

Is maintenance care required for Belkyra™, and what is the typical follow-up process after the initial treatment?

Maintenance care for Belkyra™ is generally not required. The treatment is designed to permanently eliminate fat cells in the targeted area. However, individual responses can vary, and occasional touch-up sessions may be recommended to maintain results over time. The typical follow-up process after the initial treatment involves scheduling a post-treatment consultation to assess your progress and discuss any concerns or additional sessions.

Can Belkyra™ be used for both men and women and are there any age restrictions for receiving these injections?

Yes, Belkyra™ is suitable for both men and women. There are generally no strict age restrictions for receiving Belkyra™ injections. However, the suitability for treatment is typically determined by individual assessment rather than age alone.

Treatment & Technology

Do you find that your double chin doesn’t reflect your true facial appearance, even with a healthy lifestyle? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with submental fullness, which can be influenced by genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations. If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to refine your jawline and enhance your natural beauty, Belkyra may be the right treatment option for you.

Belkyra (known as Kybella in the United States) is an FDA and Health Canada-approved non-surgical injectable treatment designed to target and break down fat cells under the chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps dissolve and absorb fatty tissue. Once the fat cell membranes are broken down, your body naturally eliminates them over time, leading to a more contoured appearance. Since these fat cells do not regenerate, results can be long-lasting.

Every patient is unique, and the best double chin treatment depends on your individual needs. A consultation with our specialists will help determine the right treatment plan for you. Want to learn more? Read our article on non-surgical double chin reduction while you wait for your consultation.

Personalized Assessment

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.

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 Belkyra treatment over time.

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.

Begin Injections

Our expert medical team, including doctors and trained nurses, uses precise techniques to inject Belkyra directly into fatty tissue cells under the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works to break down fat cell membranes, gradually improving your jawline definition. Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes, and patients can use a mirror to follow the procedure if desired.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for Belkyra?

Belkyra is ideal for men and women looking to reduce submental fullness without cosmetic surgery. The best candidates have stubborn chin fat resistant to a healthy lifestyle and maintain a stable body weight. This non-surgical treatment works best for those with good skin elasticity, as it does not address excess skin or skin laxity.

Belkyra may not be suitable if you have loose skin concerns, an active skin condition, or a history of severe side effects from injectable treatments. A consultation with our qualified healthcare providers will help determine if this is the right double chin treatment for you.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

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.

Does the treatment hurt?

Belkyra is a non-surgical injectable treatment, and while discomfort varies by patient, most describe a mild to moderate burning or stinging sensation during the injection process. To minimize discomfort, a numbing agent is applied before the procedure, and an ice pack can be used afterward to reduce temporary swelling.

Any discomfort typically subsides within a few hours, and over-the-counter pain medication can be taken if needed. Our medical professionals will ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.

When will I see results?

Belkyra works gradually as your body naturally eliminates the fat cells. Most patients begin to notice visible improvement within 4 to 6 weeks after their first session, with optimal results typically seen after 2 to 4 treatments.

Since the process relies on your body’s ability to break down fatty tissue, the timeline may vary based on your metabolism. Our medical professionals will guide you through the expected progress based on your personalized treatment plan.

Are the results permanent?

Yes, the results of Belkyra are long-lasting. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining results depends on factors like body weight, lifestyle, and natural aging. Significant weight gain can lead to the development of new fatty tissue in the area.

Our medical professionals will provide aftercare instructions and guidance on how to maintain your contoured appearance for lasting results.

Can I return to work or normal activities after the treatment?

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.
