Fat Dissolving Injections (Belkyra/Kybella)
Fat Dissolving Injections Service in Toronto
At Lavita Cosmetic Clinic, we offer Belkyra (known as Kybella in the U.S.), an innovative, non-surgical treatment designed to eliminate stubborn fat and contour your profile. Whether you’re targeting a double chin or small pockets of fat elsewhere, Belkyra delivers natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
What are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to break down and absorb stubborn fat cells. Once treated, these fat cells are metabolized and permanently removed, giving you a more sculpted and defined appearance.
How Does It Work?
- Deoxycholic acid is injected into the targeted area, where it breaks down fat cells.
- The body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells over time, leaving the area slimmer and more contoured.
- The results are permanent for the treated fat, provided you maintain a stable weight.

The treatment area is marked and numbed for comfort.
Injection
Multiple small injections are made into the targeted fat layer. The process takes about 15–30 minutes.

Mild swelling or redness may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
Duration
Each session takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Results
Visible Changes: Most clients see noticeable results after 2-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Gradual Improvements: Fat reduction occurs naturally as the body eliminates treated cells over the following weeks.
Long-Lasting Effects:
The results are permanent for the treated fat cells.
Recovery Time
Minimal downtime; most clients return to daily activities immediately.
Swelling, redness, or mild tenderness in the treated area may last 1-3 days.
Some swelling under the chin is normal and temporary, as the treatment stimulates the breakdown of fat cells.

Most clients require 2-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions depends on the size of the treatment area and the amount of fat.
Is Belkyra safe?
Yes, Belkyra is FDA- and Health Canada-approved for reducing fat under the chin and other small areas. It is safe when administered by trained professionals.
