Belkyra Quick Summary and Overview
Cost & Pricing
Sessions range from $600–1,200 per treatment, typically requiring two to four sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
What To Expect
Your injector applies numbing cream, then cleanses and marks a 1-cm grid under the chin. Small Belkyra injections follow; expect brief stinging warmth and pressure. Ice afterward.
Mechanism of Action
Belkyra contains deoxycholic acid that breaks down fat cells under the chin, which are naturally eliminated by the body for lasting contouring.
Benefits & Results
Reduces double chin fat permanently, creates a more defined jawline, and requires minimal downtime. Results can be long-lasting after full treatment
Discomfort & Pain Level
Mild discomfort or stinging during injections is common. Numbing measures may be offered. Most patients tolerate it well with minimal pain.
Side Effects & Downtime
Typical side effects include swelling, bruising, redness or tenderness. These usually resolve within a few days, with minimal interruption to daily activities.
What is Belkyra Edmonton and How Does it 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, to provide gradual and long-lasting results.

Who is a Good Candidate for Belkyra Edmonton?
- Belkyra is ideal for adults bothered by a double chin caused primarily by stubborn submental fat rather than loose skin.
- You’re a good candidate if you’re generally healthy, at or near a stable weight, and want a non-surgical option with gradual, permanent fat reduction.
- A defined jawline hidden by fullness, good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations all help.
- You may not be a candidate if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection, significant skin laxity, prominent platysma bands, swallowing issues, bleeding disorders, or a history of keloids. Prior neck surgery or nerve injury also requires caution.
- Our injectors will assess anatomy, pinchable fat, chin profile, and medical history to design a safe, personalized treatment plan in Edmonton. Schedule your consultation today.
How should I prepare for my Belkyra Edmonton treatment?
- One week before, avoid blood-thinning medications that increase bruising, such as aspirin, ibuprofen/naproxen, vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo, garlic, and high-dose turmeric or herbal blends (consult your prescriber first).
- Keep prescription anticoagulants unless your doctor says otherwise. Skip alcohol for 48 hours pre-treatment. If you smoke or vape, reduce use to support healing.
- Plan social downtime for swelling (often 3–7 days). Two to three days before, stop retinoids or acids on the neck/chin.
- Shave coarse hair the day prior; arrive clean with no makeup, lotion, or perfume. Eat a light meal, hydrate well, and consider acetaminophen—not NSAIDs—for comfort.
- Tell your injector about prior neck procedures, nerve issues, dysphagia, or allergies. Wear a loose-fitting top and bring a scarf or mask for added concealment.
What aftercare should I follow after Belkyra Edmonton?
- Expect swelling, firmness, numbness, and tenderness for 3–7 days (sometimes longer); this is normal as fat cells break down.
- Apply a wrapped ice pack or a cool compress for 10 minutes on/10 minutes off, during the first 24–48 hours. Sleep was slightly elevated the first couple of nights.
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the area, as well as high heat (such as hot yoga or saunas), alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
- Keep skin clean; skip makeup, retinoids, acids, and waxing on the neck for 24–48 hours.
- Use acetaminophen for discomfort unless advised otherwise; avoid NSAIDs if you bruise easily. Tiny lumps or firmness can persist for several weeks and gradually soften.
- Please contact us as soon as you can for worsening pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, hives, or smile asymmetry. Schedule the next appointment at roughly 8 weeks apart.
Is Belkyra Different from Other Double Chin Treatments?
When considering double chin treatments, it’s essential to understand your options. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we offer a range of solutions, including Belkyra, CoolSculpting, non-surgical VASER liposuction, and TightSculpting.
- CoolSculpting: Non-invasive procedure that freezes fat cells. Great for patients looking for a completely non-injection option, but may require multiple sessions.
- Non-surgical VASER Liposuction: Minimally invasive ultrasound-assisted technique providing precise fat removal and improved skin tightening, with less downtime compared to traditional liposuction.
- TightSculpting: Combines laser fat reduction with skin tightening; suitable for moderate double chin with skin laxity.
Can Belkyra be combined with other treatments for better results?
Yes. Belkyra® targets submental fat only—it doesn’t tighten skin or change bone structure.
- For a sharper, balanced profile, many clients pair Belkyra with skin-tightening options (e.g., RF microneedling, Fotona, or Ultherapy) to address laxity, and chin/jawline filler to improve projection and support.
- Neuromodulators (e.g., Botox) can soften prominent platysma bands.
- We typically stage treatments: complete your Belkyra series first (sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart), then reassess at 8–12 weeks to address any tightening or contouring needs.
- Thoughtful combination therapy can enhance definition, maintain natural proportions, and may reduce the amount of filler needed.
