What Is Belkyra? Your Guide to the Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment
At Fluid Spa, we understand how frustrating stubborn fat under the chin can be—especially when it doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. That’s why we offer Belkyra™, a non-surgical treatment designed specifically to reduce submental fullness, better known as a double chin.
If you’ve been looking for a non-invasive way to contour your jawline and enhance your profile, keep reading to learn how Belkyra™ works and whether it might be the right solution for you.
How Does Belkyra™ Work?
Belkyra™ contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat beneath the chin, it disrupts and eliminates fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future.
Treatment Process
- Consultation: A thorough assessment is conducted to determine suitability for Belkyra™ treatment. Factors such as the amount of submental fat, skin quality, and overall health are evaluated. It’s important to note that Belkyra™ is not suitable for individuals with very large double chins or significant skin sagging.
- Procedure: During the treatment, a grid is applied to the chin area to guide precise injections. A local anaesthetic is used to minimize discomfort. Multiple small injections are administered, and the procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes.
- Post-Treatment: Patients may experience swelling, redness, or bruising under the chin, with swelling peaking at day two and potentially lasting up to two weeks. The area may feel firm, numb, or lumpy during the healing process.
Benefits of Belkyra™
- Non-surgical: No incisions or general anaesthesia
- Minimal downtime
- Long-lasting results
- Improves jawline definition
- Customizable treatment plan
Expected Results
Visible improvements are usually observed 4-6 weeks after the first treatment. However, optimal results often require multiple sessions, with most patients undergoing 2-3 treatments spaced at least four weeks apart. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not regenerate, leading to a more defined jawline.
Considerations and Side Effects
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and areas of firmness in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and resolve within a few weeks. Rarely, temporary nerve effects can occur, such as an uneven smile, but these are uncommon and usually resolve over time.

It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if Belkyra™ is appropriate for your specific needs and to discuss potential risks and benefits.
