Double Chin Reduction
Why Choose Belkyra™ for Double Chin Reduction in Downtown Vancouver?
Belkyra™ offers a non-surgical, Health Canada-approved solution to eliminate submental fat and contour your jawline. Excess chin fullness can erode confidence and age the face, while traditional surgery carries downtime and risks. Belkyra™ injections target and destroy fat cells beneath the chin, delivering a slimmer, more defined profile without incisions. If suitable, the treatment can also be used on areas such as love handles, abdomen, thighs, or arms.
How Do Belkyra™ Injections Work?
Belkyra™ (known as Kybella® in the U.S.) contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When injected into the submental fat, it disrupts fat cell membranes, causing permanent destruction of treated cells. Over subsequent weeks, your body naturally metabolizes and eliminates these cells, revealing a tighter, more sculpted chin and neck. Treatment plans typically include 2–3 sessions spaced one month apart.
