BELKYRA CALGARY
Permanently Reduce Submental Fat & Reveal a More Defined Profile
Belkyra™ is a Health Canada-approved injectable that permanently eliminates stubborn fat beneath the chin, refining your jawline and profile without surgery.
At Juvea Aesthetics in Calgary, every Belkyra treatment is mapped to your facial structure and goals, using the same anatomical precision our injectors bring to every treatment we offer.
What Is Belkyra?
Submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, is often assumed to be a weight or fitness issue. However, for many clients it’s genetic and has little to do with body weight, which is why it often persists despite diet and exercise. Belkyra™ is a non-surgical, fat-dissolving injectable made with a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a bile acid your body produces naturally to break down dietary fat. Injected beneath the chin, it destroys the membrane of fat cells, and your body then clears the treated cells over the following weeks. Belkyra is approved by Health Canada specifically for the treatment of submental fat.
Because the treated fat cells are destroyed, results are permanent. Those cells can’t store fat again, so no maintenance treatments are needed, although significant weight gain can still enlarge the fat cells that remain. As a result, Belkyra offers a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for double chin reduction, with no incisions and no general anesthetic.
Areas We Treat with Belkyra
Belkyra is a targeted treatment for fat beneath the chin, but its results reach beyond the injection site. Here’s how treating submental fullness reshapes your profile.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The Belkyra Process at Juvea Aesthetics
Consultation | Transparency is at the core of every consultation at Juvea. We'll ask about your goals for your jawline and profile, evaluate your facial balance and structure, and decide together on the right treatment plan for you. |
Education | We'll walk you through our recommendations based on your facial structure and goals, including how many sessions you may need. You'll leave fully informed about your treatment plan, so you can move forward with confidence. |
Treatment | First, we apply a topical numbing cream or ice to keep you comfortable. Next, we map a precise injection grid across the treatment area so every injection is placed exactly where submental fat sits, for an even, natural result. Using ultra-fine needles, we then deliver Belkyra with a delicate touch, talking you through each step as we go. |
Results & Aftercare | Results build gradually as your body clears the treated fat cells, typically becoming visible 4–6 weeks after each session. Once complete, results are permanent, refining your jawline and reducing double-chin fullness for good. |
Pre-Treatment Care for Belkyra
To prepare for your treatment, avoid vitamins, herbal supplements and anti-inflammatory medications (Advil, ibuprofen, Aspirin) for two weeks beforehand. In addition, avoid alcohol, caffeine and Retin-A products for two to three days before your appointment. If you have a rash or blemish in the treatment area, let our team know before your appointment.
Post-Treatment Care for Belkyra
Avoid touching, pressing or rubbing the treatment area, and ice it on and off for about 24 hours. For the first 24–48 hours, avoid exercise and heat. Before you leave, we’ll walk you through every aftercare step.

RELATED TREATMENTS
Juvea’s Multi-Modality Approach
While Belkyra is powerful on its own, it’s often most effective when paired with treatments that add definition or support skin quality as fat is reduced. Here’s how we can further enhance your results.
Frequently Asked Questions
We believe in clear, direct answers so you can make the best decision for your face. Here are the questions we hear most often during consultations.
Is Belkyra permanent?
Yes. Belkyra destroys the treated fat cells, and once they’re gone they can’t store fat again. No maintenance treatments are needed, but significant weight gain can still enlarge the fat cells that remain, so results last best when your weight stays stable.
How much does Belkyra cost?
Belkyra at Juvea Aesthetics starts at $450 per session. Your total depends on how many injections and sessions you need, which we’ll confirm at your consultation. Flexible financing is available through Beautifi.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients need 2–4 sessions spaced at least a month apart, depending on how much fullness is being treated. We’ll recommend the right number of injections and sessions for you during your consultation.
When will I see results from Belkyra?
Results build gradually as your body clears the treated fat cells, typically becoming visible 4–6 weeks after each session. Your final result is clearest once your full series is complete.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients feel a burning or stinging sensation during treatment that fades within minutes. We use ultra-fine needles, topical numbing cream and ice to keep you comfortable throughout.
What are the side effects?
Swelling, tenderness, bruising, numbness and firmness under the chin are common and typically settle within two weeks. Rarely, treatment can temporarily affect a nerve near the jaw and cause an uneven smile. We’ll walk you through what to expect and how to manage it before you leave.
Why do I have a double chin if I'm not overweight?
Submental fullness is often genetic and has little to do with body weight. Many clients at a healthy weight still experience fullness beneath the chin, simply due to family history.
Am I a good candidate for Belkyra?
Good candidates are 18 or older, in overall good health, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. A history of neuromuscular disease or thyroid conditions may affect eligibility, so we’ll confirm candidacy together during your consultation. Belkyra is best suited to fullness caused by fat rather than loose skin; if laxity is a concern, we may recommend pairing it with Radiesse.
What areas can Belkyra treat?
Belkyra is approved specifically to treat submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. Reducing fat beneath the chin also refines the contour of your jawline and neck.
How long does a Belkyra treatment take?
Treatment usually takes 15–20 minutes, depending on the number of injections needed. Some clients need multiple sessions to reach their desired outcome.
