Belkyra is an injectable treatment that targets and permanently reduces fat deposits under the chin without surgery. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down localized fat cells and redefines the jawline for a sharper, more harmonious profile.

The non-surgical solution for double chin

Belkyra uses deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally present in the body, to permanently reduce excess fat beneath the chin. It is currently the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for improving the appearance of submental fullness, offering a modern and safe alternative to liposuction.

Administered through micro-injections, Belkyra specifically targets fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. The body gradually eliminates the destroyed cells, refining the jawline, enhancing facial definition, and delivering natural, lasting results.

This treatment is suitable for both men and women bothered by a double chin caused by aging, genetics, or stubborn fat that does not respond to lifestyle changes. Once destroyed, fat cells do not regenerate, ensuring long-term results.

What is the difference between Belkyra and CoolSculpting?

Belkyra: targeted deoxycholic acid injections that permanently destroy fat cells.

CoolSculpting: cryolipolysis that freezes and eliminates fat without needles or injections.

Belkyra is often chosen for small areas and highly precise treatment, while CoolSculpting is better suited for patients seeking a completely non-invasive approach. A consultation will help determine the best option for your needs.

Information

How does a treatment session work?

The process begins with an initial consultation to assess your profile, discuss your goals, and review your medical history. Your treatment plan is then customized based on the amount of fat and your aesthetic objectives.

During the session, photos are taken, the area is cleansed and disinfected, and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. The physician then marks the injection points and performs several micro-injections beneath the chin. Each session typically lasts 15–20 minutes.

FAQ

How many sessions are needed, and when will results be visible?

Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve the desired results (up to 6 sessions in more severe cases). Visible improvement usually begins after 4 to 6 weeks, with progressive and lasting results as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
What should I do before and after treatment?

Before: Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications, which may increase bleeding risks.

After: Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort may occur, particularly after the first session. To support recovery:

– Apply cold compresses

– Wear a chin strap at night for the first week, if recommended by your doctor

– Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 45+

– Avoid irritating skincare products (retinol, AHA/BHA, peroxide) for 24 hours

With proper skincare (preparing, hydrating, protecting), results remain long-lasting.
