Belkyra®: Permanent Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal
At Canada MedLaser, we provide Belkyra (Kybella), a Health Canada and FDA-approved injectable that permanently dissolves fat cells beneath the chin to sculpt a more defined, youthful jawline. Using synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that aids in fat breakdown, our expert injectors target submental fullness that often resists diet and exercise due to genetics or aging. This clinically proven, non-invasive alternative to liposuction delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime at any of our Canada MedLaser clinic locations.
Belkyra®: Show Your Jawline, From Any Angle
Approved by Health Canada and the FDA, Belkyra® is a proven injectable treatment that effectively reduces double chin. This treatment doesn’t need any cuts, anesthesia, or a long recovery time as invasive liposuction treatments do. It utilizes a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a natural substance that aids in fat breakdown and absorption, to target and eliminate excess fat under the chin.
How Does the Treatment Work?
Belkyra® works by directly targeting and breaking down fat cells under the chin. Our trained injectors at Canada MedLaser Clinics administer Belkyra® to the affected area. The procedure takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
It breaks down fat cell membranes, causing them to burst and release their contents. After that, the body automatically breaks down and gets rid of these damaged fat cells, mostly through the liver.
Benefits of Belkyra®
No Surgery, Less Downtime
Belkyra® offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, allowing you to achieve a more defined jawline without surgery. Experience minimal downtime and quickly return to your normal activities after treatment.
Customized for You
With Canada MedLaser’s targeted fat reduction treatment, it’s possible to achieve a defined profile, making your natural features stand out. Every treatment is unique to every client so you’ll never have to worry about the results.
Reliable, Lasting Results
Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions for optimal results. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, leading to long-lasting results as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Preparation and Aftercare
- Consult with us to discuss your goals and medical history to ensure Belkyra® is right for you.
- Stop taking blood thinners such as aspirin and ibuprofen a few days before treatment to reduce bruising. Discuss any other medications with your Canada MedLaser aesthetician.
- Avoid alcohol 24 to 48 hours before the procedure to minimize bruising. Drink plenty of water before your appointment to support healing.
- Ask someone to drive you to and from your appointment. To ensure comfort, an ice pack might help before getting an injection.
- Carefully follow any aftercare guidelines provided by your aesthetician to ensure a smooth recovery and great results.
- Get an ice pack ready as there might be some swelling in the affected area. This should go down in a few days.
- Bruising and tenderness are common and usually fade within a week. Your provider may suggest over-the-counter pain relief.
- Don’t do any heavy exercise or touch the treated area for a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Belkyra contains a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a substance your body produces naturally to break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys the cell membranes of adipocytes (fat cells). Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a permanent reduction in fullness
The number of sessions varies depending on the amount of submental fat and your specific aesthetic goals. Most patients at Canada MedLaser achieve optimal results within 2 to 4 sessions, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. Our specialists will customize a treatment plan during your initial consultation.
Yes, the results of Belkyra are considered permanent. Because the injections physically destroy the fat cells in the treated area, those cells are gone for good. As long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, the “double chin” is unlikely to return.
Belkyra is a non-surgical procedure with relatively low downtime. The most common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin, which typically peak 24–48 hours after treatment and resolve within one to two weeks. Most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately after their appointment.
While the fat-dissolving process begins immediately, results appear gradually as your body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Most patients begin to see a visible improvement in their jawline contour about 4 to 6 weeks after their second treatment session.
