Belkyra Toronto

What is Belkra

Belkyra is the only local fat reduction injection approved by the U.S. FDA and Health Canada. Utilizing injections in Toronto, Belkyra introduces a substance compatible with the human body into the fat layer, promoting the breakdown of fat. This process also enhances blood and lymphatic system circulation, ultimately reshaping local body contours, eliminating localized fat, and restoring natural lines and curves.

The key factors determining human obesity are the number and size of fat cells in the body. Adult males typically have around 26 billion fat cells, while adult females have about 36 billion, inherently making women more prone to obesity. Common areas for fat accumulation include the waist, abdomen, buttocks, inner upper arms, thighs, and chin.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Belkyra: The Only Fat-Dissolving Injection Approved by Regulatory Authorities

Belkyra stands as the sole fat-dissolving injectable treatment that has garnered dual approval from Health Canada and the U.S. FDA. The certification by Health Canada, one of the strictest international regulatory bodies for therapeutic and diagnostic drugs, assures its safety and professionalism. This non-surgical treatment naturally metabolizes chin fat, addressing the issue of excess chin fat and instantly providing a more refined and petite chin profile.

Belkyra offers a permanent solution to dissolve fat under the chin, creating a smooth and well-defined jawline. It represents a non-invasive alternative to liposuction, destroying fat accumulations under the chin to enhance overall facial shape and contours.

Employing straightforward injection techniques, Belkyra breaks down or "dissolves" fat in targeted areas, revealing your natural facial lines with lasting results. Depending on the initial amount of fat, a single session or a series of treatments may be recommended by your physician. The results gradually become more apparent over several months, allowing for a discreet transformation that leaves you looking increasingly radiant without any obvious signs of treatment.

What are benefits of Belkyra?

  • Permanent Fat Reduction Without Rebound: Belkyra directly targets and dissolves fat cells, also reducing swelling and establishing a new balance of moisture and oils in the skin.
  • Non-Invasive Treatment: This method does not require incisions or liposuction, causing no harm to the body.
  • Improves Skin Condition: In addition to eliminating stubborn fat, Belkyra promotes circulation in the blood and lymphatic systems, boosts metabolism, and restores skin's radiance and elasticity.
  • No Dieting or Surgery Required: With Belkyra, there's no need for dieting or surgical interventions. It offers quick, reliable, and lasting effects, dissolving fat while effectively slowing down fat synthesis.
  •  

How long does it take for Belkyra to work?

After receiving Belkyra injections, the initial results will start to become visible within 2 to 4 weeks. Over the course of 1 to 3 months, you will gradually notice your body becoming more defined. Around three months post-treatment, the effects will stabilize. With 2 to 3 injection sessions, the results are long-lasting, with no rebound or re-accumulation of fat.

What causes a double chin?

Double chin (submental fullness) can affect anyone regardless of age, weight, or fitness level. Understanding the causes helps determine if you're a good candidate for treatment.

Primary Causes of Double Chin:

  • Genetics: Inherited facial structure and fat distribution
  • Aging: Loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone
  • Weight fluctuations: Fat accumulation under chin area
  • Hormonal factors: Natural body changes affecting fat storage
  • Anatomical structure: Jawline shape and bone structure

Why Diet and Exercise Often Fail: The submental area contains stubborn fat cells that are resistant to traditional weight loss methods. This explains why even individuals with healthy lifestyles may struggle with double chin appearance.

67% of people report being bothered by fullness under the chin, making it a common aesthetic concern that impacts confidence and self-image.

Good Candidates Include:

  • Healthy individuals: Good overall physical health
  • Stubborn chin fat: Unresponsive to diet and exercise
  • Realistic expectations: Understanding of treatment process
  • Commitment to sessions: Willing to complete treatment plan

Factors That Make You an Excellent Candidate:

  • Moderate to severe submental fullness
  • Good skin elasticity
  • Stable weight
  • No active infections in treatment area
  • Non-smokers (for optimal healing)

Who Should Avoid Treatment:

A comprehensive assessment by our medical aesthetician determines individual suitability for treatment.

How does Belkyra double chin treatment work?

Belkyra works by utilizing deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

Treatment Mechanism:

  1. Injection: Belkyra is injected directly into chin fat layer
  2. Cell disruption: Deoxycholic acid disrupts fat cell membranes
  3. Fat breakdown: Targeted fat cells are permanently destroyed
  4. Natural elimination: Body processes and removes destroyed cells
  5. Contouring: Results in refined jawline and reduced fullness

The Treatment Process:

  • Consultation: Assessment and treatment area mapping
  • Preparation: Skin disinfection and dosage calculation
  • Injection: Multiple precise injections in grid pattern
  • Aftercare: Ice application and recovery instructions
  • Follow-up: Monitoring progress and scheduling next session

What Makes It Effective:

  • Permanent fat cell destruction
  • Body's natural elimination process
  • Targeted treatment area
  • Progressive, natural-looking results

What is the recovery like after double chin treatment?

  • Apply ice packs for 10-15 minutes to reduce swelling
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours
  • Sleep with head elevated to minimize swelling

The permanence of results means this fat dissolving injection Toronto is a long-term investment in your appearance.

Is Belkyra permanent? Will my double chin come back?

One of the biggest advantages of Belkyra injection Toronto is that results are permanent – and here's why:

Why Belkyra is Permanent:

  • Adult humans have a fixed number of fat cells that doesn't increase after maturity
  • Belkyra permanently destroys fat cells in the treatment area
  • Once destroyed, these fat cells cannot regenerate or return
  • Your body naturally eliminates the destroyed cells through metabolic processes

Long-lasting Results:

  • Effects last from 3 months to 24 months and beyond
  • Most patients enjoy permanent results with proper weight maintenance
  • No need for ongoing treatments once desired results are achieved

Important Considerations: While the treated fat cells are gone forever, maintaining results requires:

  • Stable weight: Significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to expand
  • Healthy lifestyle: Balanced diet and regular exercise support lasting results
  • Realistic expectations: Belkyra removes fat, but doesn't prevent future weight gain

This makes Belkyra injection Toronto superior to temporary solutions, offering true double chin removal Toronto that lasts. At M Medi Spa, we provide post-treatment guidance to help you maintain your refined jawline for years to come.

What areas can be treated with Belkyra in Toronto?

Belkyra injection Toronto is specifically designed and Health Canada-approved for:

Primary Treatment Area:

  • Submental region (under the chin): The only area with official regulatory approval
  • Creates a more defined jawline and eliminates "double chin" appearance
  • Treats moderate to severe submental fullness effectively

Why Only Under the Chin? Belkyra's approval is limited to the submental area because:

  • Extensive clinical studies focused on chin fat safety and efficacy
  • The submental region has specific anatomical considerations
  • Health Canada and FDA regulations require area-specific approvals

Off-Label Considerations: While some practitioners may use fat dissolving injection Toronto treatments for other areas like:

  • Jowls (lower jawline)
  • Upper arms ("bat wings")
  • Knees
  • Love handles
  • Thighs

These applications are considered off-label use and are not officially approved. At M Medi Spa, we strictly follow Health Canada guidelines and focus on approved treatment areas to ensure your safety and optimal double chin removal Toronto results.

What Belkyra Cannot Treat:

  • Loose or sagging skin (requires skin tightening treatments)
  • Significant neck laxity ("turkey neck" – may need surgical intervention)
  • Very large fat deposits (surgical liposuction may be more appropriate)

How long does it take to see results from Belkyra?

Understanding the timeline for Belkyra injection Toronto results helps set realistic expectations:

Results Timeline:

Week 1-2 (Immediate Post-Treatment):

  • Significant swelling in treatment area (this is normal and expected!)
  • Swelling indicates the fat cells are being destroyed
  • May look temporarily fuller before improvement appears

Week 2-4:

  • First visible improvements start to appear
  • Initial contouring becomes noticeable

Week 6-8:

Final Results (After Complete Treatment Course):

Important Notes:

  • Results are gradual, not instant – this is a benefit, as changes appear natural
