Belkyra® Treatment Overview

Belkyra® (known as Kybella® in the U.S.) is the only FDA and Health Canada-approved injectable treatment for permanent fat reduction under the chin. Designed to target and dissolve submental fat, Belkyra® is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, helping to define the jawline and eliminate a double chin.

This treatment uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that breaks down fat cells. Once destroyed, these fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, making Belkyra® a permanent solution for chin contouring. At Image Clinic, our specialists personalize each Belkyra® treatment to achieve natural, sculpted results while ensuring your comfort.

Whether you’re looking to slim your profile or enhance your jawline, this treatment provides long-lasting definition with minimal downtime.

What To Expect

✔ Initial Consultation – Our experts will assess your concerns, discuss expectations, and determine the number of sessions needed for optimal results.

✔ Treatment Process – Belkyra® is administered through a series of small injections beneath the chin. The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes.

✔ Post-Treatment – Mild swelling, redness, or numbness is common, as the body works to eliminate fat cells. Visible results develop gradually over 4-6 weeks.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid alcohol & blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) for at least 24-48 hours before treatment to minimize bruising.

✔ Hydrate well before your appointment to aid in the healing process.

✔ Plan for mild swelling—some clients prefer to schedule treatments when they can have a few days of downtime.

Aftercare

✔ Swelling & redness are expected and indicate the treatment is working—this subsides within a few days to two weeks.

✔ Apply cold compresses as needed to reduce swelling and discomfort.

✔ Avoid intense workouts, heat exposure, and massaging the area for at least 48 hours.

✔ Follow-up treatments may be needed—most patients require 2-4 sessions for best results.

Benefits of Belkyra®

Excess fat under the chin can be resistant to weight loss efforts, creating an unbalanced facial profile. Belkyra® provides a permanent, non-surgical solution to sculpt and refine the jawline, helping patients achieve a more defined and youthful appearance. Unlike invasive procedures like liposuction, Belkyra® requires no incisions or anesthesia, making it a preferred choice for those looking for gradual, natural fat reduction.

✔ Permanently eliminates fat cells—once treated, they cannot return.

✔ Non-surgical solution—no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime required.

✔ Redefines jawline and enhances profile for a more sculpted look.

✔ Minimal recovery time compared to liposuction or surgical alternatives.

✔ Boosts confidence by improving facial balance and contour.

FAQ's

Have questions? We have the answers! Explore our FAQ section to find everything you need to know.

How does Belkyra® work?

Belkyra® contains deoxycholic acid, which breaks down and destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Once eliminated, these cells cannot regenerate, meaning results are long-lasting and permanent with proper weight maintenance.

How many Belkyra® treatments will I need?

Most patients require 2-4 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the amount of fat in the area and your desired results. Our specialists will assess and recommend the ideal treatment plan for you.

Will I have downtime after treatment?

While no major downtime is required, expect some swelling and tenderness for the first few days. This is a sign that the body is naturally processing and eliminating the fat. Most swelling subsides within 7-14 days, with final results visible in 4-6 weeks.
