Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections

During your consultation, your surgeon or aesthetic nurse will discuss the areas of concern with you. If you are a suitable candidate for treatment, we’ll assess which areas require treatment. Through a series of injections, the nurse will inject Aqueous solution into the agreed treatment areas.

Candidates will see the best results if they have an active and healthy lifestyle that they will maintain following the treatment.

Aqualyx will work to shift resistant localised fat that has been hard to eliminate through diet and exercise alone.

Aqualyx is not a weight-loss treatment. It will work best for those that are already in relatively good shape and lead a healthy lifestyle. It’s an ideal treatment for those who are looking for an alternative to laser treatments like Liposonix.

The treatment is unsuitable for those that are overweight or pregnant, have lipodystrophy, diabetes or kidney disease.

Results may be seen after just one treatment after around four to five weeks and will improve with a course of treatments. Results are variable and depend on a variety of factors such as: how much pre-existing fat you have, your age, lifestyle, the stability of membranes, and whether you gain weight after treatment. We encourage you to maintain a stable weight following your Aqualyx treatment to benefit from the results.

The treatment takes approximately 20 minutes but depends on the size and amount of areas that require treatment.

General side effects of the Aqualyx treatment include swelling, bruising, skin irritation, tenderness and redness.

• Double chin (unwanted fat under chin)
• Bra rolls (rolls of fat on back)
• Fat pouches (men are prone to developing a fat pouch under navel)
• Muffin top (unwanted fat on hips)
• Thigh chafing (unwanted fat on inner thighs)

Subcutaneous fat can be extremely hard to shift. This type of fat often collects around the hips, thighs and buttocks for women, and on the stomach for men. Whilst some people will maintain a healthy lifestyle and endure vigorous exercise regimes, sometimes this isn’t enough to eliminate the fat in these areas.

The aqueous solution works to dissolve stubborn fat cells that liquify and leave the body through the lymphatic system.

Results vary from patient to patient. The permanency of the treatment is also variable depending on the patient’s aftercare efforts and limitations of treatment.

Patients may experience some degree of redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site. We advise you to avoid taking inflammation painkillers such as Ibuprofen before your Aqualyx treatment as this can worsen bruising. The nurse will advise the appropriate aftercare actions, and it is essential to follow their steps to minimise downtime. The swelling usually subsides after around three to five days.

For optimal results, a patient will require 3-8 sessions. These sessions should be every 6 weeks.
