Rediscover your jawline and restore a beautifully defined profile with Belkyra (known as Kybella in the U.S.). Belkyra is a precise, non-surgical injectable treatment that permanently reduces small pockets of unwanted fat. Whether you’re bothered by fullness under the chin, along the jawline, or in other localized areas, Belkyra offers a scientifically proven way to contour and refine without surgery or downtime.

How Belkyra Works

Belkyra uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When carefully injected into targeted areas, it chemically disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing fat cells to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body’s metabolic process over time. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to lasting, refined contours.

Common Treatment Areas Include

• Submental region (under the chin)

• Jawline or jowls

• Bra fat or small localized body areas (off-label, at physician discretion)

Benefits

• Permanently destroys unwanted fat cells

• Non-surgical, minimal downtime

• Natural, gradual improvement

• Defines and contours the jawline and profile

What to Expect & Recovery

Your Belkyra treatment begins with a personalized assessment to map the ideal injection sites and determine the number of sessions required. Each treatment typically takes 30 minutes, and a topical or injectable numbing agent may be applied for comfort. After treatment, mild swelling, tenderness, or firmness is normal and expected for several days (this is a sign that the fat-dissolving process is underway). Swelling generally peaks within 48–72 hours and subsides over 1–2 weeks. Most people see visible contouring after 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on individual anatomy and goals. Once fat cells are eliminated, results are permanent, provided body weight remains stable.

Aftercare tips

• Apply a cool compress to minimize swelling or discomfort

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours

• Keep the area clean and avoid touching or massaging it

• Sleep with your head elevated the first night

As your body gradually clears the treated fat cells, you’ll notice a more sculpted, defined, and balanced appearance emerge; all without surgery or scars!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

• Most people require 2–4 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the size of the area and your desired contour.

Is Belkyra safe?

• Yes! Belkyra is Health Canada and FDA approved for treating submental fat. When performed by a qualified medical professional, it is a safe and effective method of permanent fat reduction.

What areas can be treated?

• Belkyra is most commonly used under the chin but can also target small, localized fat deposits such as jowls, bra fat, or lower facial fullness, under medical supervision.

Is there downtime?

• Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. Swelling or tenderness can last up to 2 weeks and is a normal part of the healing process.

When will I see results?

• Improvement typically appears within 4–6 weeks, with continued refinement as the body metabolizes fat cells.

Can Belkyra tighten the skin too?

• While Belkyra focuses on fat reduction, some patients notice a secondary skin-tightening effect as the tissue remodels. For enhanced firmness, it can be combined with collagen-stimulating or skin-lifting treatments during your personalized plan.
