Fat Dissolving Injections

Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx® is a non-surgical solution to reduce stubborn pockets of fat. It is ideal for those who exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet but have pockets of fat that won’t shift, even with focused exercise.

Aqualyx® is a body contouring treatment not a weight loss solution. Treatments with Aqualyx® are especially good for small, localised areas such as under the chin and arms.

How does Aqualyx® work

Aqualyx® works by breaking down cell membranes to liquify the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

The procedure consists of a set of injections, administered 3-4 weeks apart, whereby Aqualyx® is injected into the targeted area.

How long does the treatment last?

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 weight back in other areas of your body where fat cells remain.

The area of concern will be marked out then the Aqualyx® is mixed with Lidocaine (anaesthetic) before injecting for greater comfort.

Are There Any Side Effects?

There are some temporary side effects, which include bruising, swelling, redness and irritation in the injection area. Sometimes it may feel a slightly tender to touch, numb or itchy but these side effects usually reside after 1-3 days.

How Many Treatments Would I Need?

A reduction in fat deposits can sometimes be seen after just one treatment, however for smaller areas normally three sessions are recommended to achieve desired results with larger areas requiring more.

What Results Can I Expect To See?

A reduction in fat in the targeted area can be noted a number of weeks post-treatment. The speed at which noticeable results are seen will vary depending on the stability of the cell membranes; younger clients are more likely to see results after a longer period. In very small fat pads, the desired results can already be seen after one treatment.
