What is Belkyra?

Define Your Jawline

Belkyra™ uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the chin area, it targets and destroys fat cells definitively.

How It Works

Science of Fat Dissolution

Belkyra contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that crushes and destroys fat cells when injected into the submental fat. The body then naturally metabolizes and eliminates these destroyed fat cells.

Natural Fat Metabolism

Deoxycholic acid is a molecule naturally found in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

Precise Cell Destruction

When injected into the chin area, it targets and destroys fat cells definitively without affecting surrounding tissues.

Natural Elimination

The destroyed fat cells are naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body's lymphatic system.

Health Canada Approved

Clinically proven safe and effective for submental fat reduction with minimal downtime.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is the result really permanent?+

Yes. Belkyra causes the physical destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat again. However, maintaining a stable weight is recommended to prevent remaining cells from expanding.

How much swelling will I experience?+

Swelling is the most common side effect and indicates the product is working. You may experience a 'bullfrog' look for 3-7 days post-treatment. We recommend scheduling around social events.

How many treatments do I need?+

Most patients require 2 to 4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve their desired profile. Dr. Jiang's team will create a tailored plan during your consultation.

Is the injection painful?+

You may feel a warm stinging or burning sensation as the medication enters the fat. We use ice packs and topical numbing to manage this discomfort effectively.

Am I a good candidate?+

Ideal candidates are adults with moderate-to-severe fat below the chin who have good skin elasticity. It is not a treatment for loose skin (turkey neck).

Can Belkyra be combined with other treatments?+

Yes. Belkyra is often combined with skin tightening treatments (such as Ultherapy or Thermage) to address both fat reduction and skin laxity. For patients with significant skin looseness, we create personalized combination plans during consultation.
