Belkyra Body
Localised fat deposits on the body can be frustrating to address through lifestyle changes alone. Belkyra body contouring at Bella Sante MD in Saskatoon uses deoxycholic acid injections to permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas, delivering meaningful, lasting reduction without surgery or extended downtime.
What Is Belkyra for Body?
Belkyra contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat. When injected into localised fat deposits, it destroys the fat cell membrane, triggering the body to gradually clear the treated cells through its natural elimination process. Because the fat cells are permanently destroyed rather than simply reduced in size, results are long lasting.
At Bella Sante MD, Belkyra injections are used for targeted fat reduction across a range of body areas where stubborn fat has not responded to diet or exercise.
How Belkyra Works
Belkyra is delivered through a series of small injections into the targeted fat deposit during an in-office appointment. The solution disrupts the fat cells in the treated area, which are then gradually cleared by the body over the following weeks. As the fat is eliminated, the treated area becomes progressively smoother and more contoured.

Swelling, bruising and temporary sensitivity in the treated area are a normal part of the process and indicate the treatment is working. These effects gradually subside over the following weeks as the body clears the destroyed fat cells.
