Belkyra Treatment Oakville: Non-Surgical Fat Reduction for Double Chin and Jowls

Belkyra, internationally known as Kybella, is an injectable medication developed specifically to treat localized areas of stubborn fat.

Approved by Health Canada in 2015, Belkyra treatment has become a trusted non-surgical option for effectively reducing submental fullness—often referred to as a double chin—as well as other small, persistent fat deposits along the jawline, abdomen, bra-line area, flanks, and thighs.

Belkyra’s active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally produced by the body to aid fat breakdown and absorption. When injected directly into targeted fat deposits, Belkyra disrupts fat cell membranes, causing their permanent destruction.

Patients typically notice visible improvements after just a few weeks, with many seeing clear Belkyra results after just one treatment, though multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes.

Belkyra Treatment Areas

Double Chin (Submental Fullness)

Belkyra is primarily used to target and reduce fat under the chin, helping to eliminate the appearance of a double chin and enhance the jawline.

Jowls

By addressing fat deposits in the jowl area, Belkyra can help in contouring the lower face and reducing sagging.

Bra Fat (Upper Back)

Belkyra injections can be used to reduce small pockets of fat in the upper back area, commonly referred to as 'bra fat.'

Abdomen

For individuals with small, stubborn fat deposits in the abdominal area, Belkyra offers a non-surgical option for fat reduction.

Flanks (Love Handles)

Belkyra can be applied to the flanks to help reduce the appearance of love handles, contributing to a more contoured waistline.

Thighs (Inner and Outer)

Targeting small fat deposits in the inner and outer thighs, Belkyra can assist in achieving a more streamlined leg appearance.
