AQUALYX fat dissolving injections

AESTHETIC - LASER - SKIN - WELLNESS CLINIC

Aqualyx is a safe, effective fat dissolving injection treatment that reduces fat cells in the treated area. It produces long-lasting results, which means you can banish those unwanted areas of stubborn fat. 

Aqualyx can be used to treat small, exercise-resistant, pockets of fat around the chin, chest, abdomen and thighs. It is very effective for body contouring and skin tightening but is not the recommended treatment for weight loss. 

AQUALYX fat dissolving injections reduces fat cells

Aqualyx will break down subcutaneous fat over a month and in most cases starts to work straight away once the product is injected. The human body has fatty deposits in areas like the abdomen and thighs to supply energy in times of need. Due to a genetic predisposition, some fatty deposits cannot be broken down by diet and exercises alone and the weight cannot be shifted. This leaves small rolls of unsightly fat in certain areas in the body. If you are struggling with these pockets of fat Aqualyx injections can be very effective at reducing them whilst creating body sculpting and contouring. 

More Info

How does it work?
Aqualyx is made from several different plant-based compounds and the active component is found naturally occurring in the human body. The product is a solution of deoxycholic acid which emulsifies fats.
Aqualyx dissolves the membranes of fat cells in the treated area. Once the fat cells become unstable, they break down. The fatty acids are then eliminated by the body’s immune system via the lymphatic system and liver. Unlike liposuction the treatment will also cause skin tightening in the area, so you are less likely to end up with loose skin feeling more contoured and toned.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

AQUALYX fat dissolving injections

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR TREATMENT?

Numbing cream is applied for 15 min. A grid-like area will be marked out on the skin and small injections will be administered into the fat layer of the skin. These are generally minimally painful. The product will then be massaged into the area to allow it to diffuse and break down fat cells.

The whole process will take 30 minutes and you can return to normal activities straight away. However, if the double chin area is treated swelling will start almost immediately. You can return to your normal activities once you feel ready, but the area may feel tender for up to 2 weeks.

If you have the double chin treated we suggest you pick a time where you can avoid social events. May swell for 3 or so days until it settles.

How soon will I see results?
The number of Aqualyx treatments required varies depending on the size of the fatty deposit. Small areas 1-3 treatments (under the chin) and larger areas such as the thighs 2-6 treatments.
Treatments are spaced at 4-6 weekly intervals. Your results will show in approximately 6-8 weeks after your final treatment. Please note results differ from patient to patient.
Please bear in mind that you may need more than one treatment for the best results.

ARE THE RESULTS PERMANENT?

Whilst the body can regenerate fat cells – the process is very slow. So once fat cells are removed from a localised area your results are as good as permanent.

However, if you do not continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle then your body will put on weight in other areas where fat cells remain.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD?

Immediately after treatment, you may appear red and swollen with possible bruising on the treated area. You will feel the skin is sunburnt for a few days.

Aqualyx works by causing an inflammatory reaction in the fat cells which can result in a fair amount of swelling for approximately 3-5 days. If you have a double chin treatment where the swelling may be obvious, you may wish to organise time away from work or social engagements for 72 hours.

We advise resting from physical exercises for 3-7 days after the treatment depending on the body area treated (for example avoid spinning classes if the inner thighs are being treated).

You will be able to reduce the swelling by using a cool pack wrapped in a cloth for 20-minute intervals each day. We do not recommend using anti-inflammatory tablets (ibuprofen) for 48 hours after treatment as this will work against the treatment. The injected area may feel tender and firm for up to 4 weeks post-treatment.

RESULTS MAY VARY FROM PERSON TO PERSON

IS THE TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR ME?

If you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle and are close to your ideal body weight but have isolated stubborn areas of fat, then Aqualyx might be suitable. Popular areas that we treat are double chins, saddlebags, inner thighs, love handles, back and bra folds, and the abdomen.

This treatment is not intended for weight loss. The area needs to have a good blood supply to it, so it is not suitable for those with a large overhang of loose tissue. We generally recommend treatments areas to be roughly the size of the hand palm.

Aqualyx is not suitable if you:

• Have diabetes
• Have liver or kidney disease
• Have active skin problems in the area to be treated
• Are taking blood-thinning medicine e.g. warfarin
• Pregnant/Breast Feeding
• Diabetes with Vascular complications
• Severe Hepatic disease (liver can’t remove toxins from the blood)
• Lowered Immunity
• Obesity- BMI of over 32
• Allergic to any of the ingredients
• Blood Disorders
• Clotting disorders
