Belkyra (also known as Kybella) is an innovative, FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to target and dissolve unwanted fat beneath the chin. Using deoxycholic acid, a natural molecule found in the body, Belkyra safely eliminates submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, resulting in improved facial contour and definition.

How Does Belkyra Work?

Belkyra contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, it permanently destroys targeted fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from the body. The procedure typically requires multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, providing gradual and long-lasting results.

Belkyra vs. Liposuction for Double Chin

While both Belkyra and liposuction reduce submental fat, Belkyra offers a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative with minimal downtime. Liposuction involves surgery, anesthesia, and longer recovery periods, whereas Belkyra treatments are quick injections that allow you to resume daily activities immediately. For individuals seeking a less invasive method of addressing chin fullness, Belkyra is often the preferred choice.

Who is a Good Candidate for Belkyra?

Belkyra is an excellent choice for adults struggling with stubborn fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a “double chin,” who prefer non-surgical treatments. If diet and exercise have failed to reduce your submental fullness, Belkyra might be the perfect solution to enhance your facial profile.

The Belkyra Procedure at Albany

During the procedure, our skilled injectors carefully administer multiple small injections of Belkyra beneath your chin, precisely targeting the fatty tissue. The treatment typically takes around 30–45 minutes, and you can immediately return to your daily activities afterward.

Before & After Belkyra Results

After Belkyra treatments, patients notice gradual yet significant improvements in chin and jawline definition. Initial results often become apparent within a few weeks after the first session, with optimal results visible after completing the recommended series of treatments. Many of our Edmonton clients report increased self-confidence and satisfaction with their refined, youthful appearance following treatment.

Aftercare and Recovery Tips

To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery after your Belkyra session, follow these tips:

  • Reduce Swelling: Apply ice packs intermittently during the first 24 hours post-treatment to alleviate swelling and discomfort.
  • Rest and Elevate: Sleep with your head elevated during the first night to help minimize swelling.
  • Avoid Strenuous Activity: Limit vigorous exercise or activities for at least 24–48 hours after treatment.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to aid your body’s natural healing process and facilitate the elimination of destroyed fat cells.
