Deoxycholic Acid Injections
Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat with Deoxycholic Acid Injections in Waterloo
Frustrated with stubborn fat under your chin that won’t go away no matter how healthy your lifestyle is? Doxycholic acid injections in Kitchener-Waterloo could be the solution. YourSkinRN is a licensed medical aesthetic clinic serving Kitchener-Waterloo. Our experienced team offers a non-surgical injectable treatment called deoxycholic acid injections, the same active ingredient used in brand-name treatments like Belkyra, to help reduce submental fullness under the chin (double chin) and define your jawline. We welcome clients from across Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph who want a non-surgical way to contour their jawline. Whether it's due to genetics, aging, or weight changes, this treatment can help you achieve a smoother, more contoured look without surgery.
What Is Deoxycholic Acid?
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a key role in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat in the digestive system. In aesthetic medicine, it is used as an injectable treatment to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells beneath the skin, particularly in areas like the chin and jawline.
When deoxycholic acid is injected into areas with excess fat, it works by breaking down the fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally flush them out. Once destroyed, these fat cells do not return. With a customized series of treatments, deoxycholic acid can help reduce unwanted fullness and create a more defined, sculpted contour, especially under the chin. We use a fine, custom-marked grid under your chin to ensure precise placement and consistent results. Our patients tell us they love being able to go back to work the same day without downtime.

4 Benefits of Deoxycholic Acid Injections
-
During treatment, you will experience neither pain nor discomfort. The needle used is so fine there is no need for a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment site. Depending on the extent of fat you have in the area, your session may take between 15 and 20 minutes. During this time, several injections are made at strategic locations.
-
One of the most compelling benefits of Belkyra is there is no need for any downtime or recovery. Simply come in during your lunch break and go back to work like nothing ever happened. We are open from 9:30 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. If you only have a 30-minute lunch break, we are also available by appointment on Saturdays.
-
Another compelling benefit of deoxycholic acid injections is that the results of treatment are permanent. Once the deoxycholic acid destroys the excess fat in the treatment site, no new fat cells can be grown. This means that even if you gain weight in your neck and chin region in the future, it will be much less noticeable than it is now.
-
One of the most common misconceptions of this treatment is that it is only for people with significant excess weight around the neck and chin region. This is not the case. In fact, many people suffer from submental fullness and loose skin of the chin and neck due to aging, genetics, smoking, and other factors.

What to Expect from Your Deoxycholic Acid Injection Appointment
Your deoxycholic acid journey begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll assess your profile and create a custom treatment plan based on your goals and the amount of fullness under your chin.
During the procedure, deoxycholic acid is injected directly into the targeted fat using a fine needle. Treatments typically take 20 to 30 minutes. You may experience some swelling, tenderness, or bruising under the chin for a few days following treatment. This is part of the natural process as your body breaks down and removes the destroyed fat cells.
Most clients see noticeable results after 2 to 4 treatments, spaced about a month apart. Up to 6 sessions may be recommended for optimal results, depending on your anatomy and goals. Once your desired contour is achieved, no further treatments are needed.
