Are you tired of stubborn fat under your chin that just won’t go away, no matter how much you diet or exercise? The good news is that you no longer need to rely on invasive surgery to achieve a more contoured and defined jawline. Belkyra (also known as Kybella in some regions) is a breakthrough non-surgical treatment designed to target and dissolve submental fat—more commonly known as a double chin.

At Cleuza Hair Salon, our expert nurse Jackie, specializes in Belkyra treatments, offering a safe, medically supervised environment for clients looking to enhance their facial profile without the need for surgery.

What Is Belkyra?

Belkyra is a Health Canada and FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area (under the chin), Belkyra works to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance.

How Does the Treatment Work?

Each Belkyra treatment session involves a series of small injections directly into the area beneath your chin. The treatment is customized to suit each individual’s needs, and the number of injections depends on the amount of fat and your desired outcome. Typically, clients will need between 2 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, though some may require up to 6 sessions for optimal results.

Benefits of Belkyra
1. Non-Surgical, No Downtime
  One of the biggest advantages of Belkyra is that it is a **minimally invasive** procedure, meaning there’s no need for surgery or extended recovery time. Most clients experience only mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days. You can resume your daily activities almost immediately.
2. Permanent Results
  Once the fat cells are destroyed by Belkyra, they are permanently eliminated from the body. This means that with proper care and a stable weight, your results can be **long-lasting**, if not permanent.
3. Improves Confidence and Profile
  Excess fat under the chin can affect self-esteem and make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. By eliminating the double chin and improving the definition of your jawline, Belkyra can significantly enhance your facial profile, giving you a **more sculpted, youthful look**.
4. Customized Treatment Plan
  No two faces are alike, and at **Cleuza Hair Salon**, I work closely with each client to create a **tailored treatment plan** that meets their specific needs and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your expectations and evaluate whether Belkyra is the right solution for you.
5. Safe and Professional Application
  As a licensed nurse with extensive experience in cosmetic injectables, I prioritize **your safety and comfort** throughout the entire process. Belkyra has undergone rigorous clinical trials and is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for reducing submental fat when administered by trained medical professionals.
What to Expect During and After Treatment

The treatment process is relatively quick, typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes. After the injections, you may feel mild discomfort, and there can be some swelling or tenderness under the chin as the deoxycholic acid begins to break down fat cells. This is normal and a sign that the treatment is working.

Most clients start to see noticeable improvements in their chin profile after 2 to 4 sessions. As the body gradually metabolizes the broken-down fat cells, your jawline will appear slimmer and more defined.

Is Belkyra Right for You?

While Belkyra is an excellent option for many people, it’s important to remember that not everyone is a candidate for the treatment. Ideal candidates are those who:
- Have moderate to severe fat under the chin
- Are in good general health
- Prefer a non-surgical solution to improve their jawline

During your consultation at Cleuza Hair Salon, I will thoroughly assess your medical history and aesthetic goals to determine if Belkyra is the best option for you. If it is, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that helps you achieve your desired results.
