Say goodbye to that double chin.

Belkyra® is a Health Canada authorized injectable treatment to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat (also known as a ‘double chin’), creating a smooth and gradual jaw definition. Dr. Carruthers was involved in the clinical trials and was one of the first Canadian doctors to offer the treatment.

A double chin is commonly influenced by genetics, aging, and/or weight gain. Unfortunately, this fat can be stubborn and frustrating, remaining even throughout weight loss and lifestyle changes. A Belkyra® treatment provides an effective surgery-free solution by reducing or eliminating this fat through a series of injections.

The formula consists of Sodium Deoxycholate. When injected below the skin, it causes breaks down fat cells and the overlying skin tightens, improving the desired contour.
