Belkyra® / Kybella® in Kelowna

A prescription injectable treatment for moderate to severe fullness caused by fat beneath the chin in adults.

THE KIWI APPROACH

Belkyra contains deoxycholic acid, which breaks down fat cells in the treated area.

It is injected beneath the chin by a trained healthcare professional. It is not a treatment for loose skin or general weight loss.

What treatment involves

The clinician assesses the fat beneath your chin, skin laxity and medical history. If treatment is appropriate, a series of small injections is given in the area.

More than one treatment visit may be needed.

A plan for your chin and profile

Your assessment looks at the fullness beneath your chin, skin elasticity and the shape of your profile. The clinician explains suitable options, likely recovery, the proposed number of visits and cost before you decide.

Good to know. A booking does not guarantee treatment. Suitability is determined by the treating clinician.

Common questions

Does Belkyra treat loose skin beneath the chin?

No. It is used to reduce fullness beneath the chin, not to tighten skin. Your assessment considers skin elasticity and the cause of fullness when discussing suitable options.

Will I need more than one treatment visit?

More than one visit may be needed. The number and spacing depend on your individual treatment plan and are discussed before treatment.

What should I know about recovery and risks?

Swelling, bruising, pain, numbness and firmness can occur around the injection sites. Less common complications include nerve injury that can affect your smile, difficulty swallowing and skin injury. Plan time for recovery and follow the treating clinician’s aftercare instructions.
