Aqualyx Fat Dissolving
Have you got stubborn areas of fat you would like help with?
It’s not that easy to get rid of stubborn fatty deposits even with a healthy diet and strict exercise regimen. Even with an ideal weight, obtaining a body shape you are happy with can be challenging due to the appearance of double chins, bingo wings and saddle bags.
Aqualyx fat dissolving injections is a treatment that is proving to be a popular alternative to other fat reduction methods.
Aqualyx injections were specifically designed to target small areas of fatty deposits with a minimally invasive procedure.
Aqualyx™ injections or injection lipolysis can provide the solution for these areas of stubborn body fat.

How Does it work?
Once Aqualyx injection is injected, Aqualyx solution dissolves fat cells into fatty acids that are ultimately reabsorbed and excreted out by the body naturally in the weeks following the treatment. It is a synthetically produced analogue of our natural bile acid, which helps to break down the cell walls of the fat cells releasing the content of the fatty acid inside. The body is then able to utilise this fatty acid energy and remove cell residue in its normal way. Destroying the fat cells leads to a long lasting solution provided weight remains stable.
This treatment is not designed as a solution for removing significant amounts of fat. A person who finds that a small amount of stubborn fat is affecting the contouring of their body, despite eating a balanced diet and taking regular exercise, is more likely to get the results they seek.
Immediately after the procedure, the treated area may appear red and slightly swollen which may last 1-3 days.
Every patient is reviewed at a separate appointment. Another treatment may be performed depending on the amount of fat and the targeted area. Typically, two to six treatments are required with four week intervals.
Benefits
As an alternative to liposuction, Aqualyx is a non-surgical procedure with less downtime. There is no need for a general anaesthetic, the patient does not require any incisions or stiches. Hence scarring is unlikely to occur. The removal of fat cells provides a long-lasting solution given that the patients continue a healthy lifestyle.
Treatment Areas
- Abdomen / Hip area
- Female Upper Breast Fold
- Inner & Outer Thighs
- Jowls / Double Chin
- Saddle bags
- Upper Arms / Bingo Wings
- Waist & Back
Will I loose weight?
Aqualyx™ will not produce weight loss. A healthy diet is recommended with this treatment to aid the body releasing the energy from the metabolised fatty acids. The aim is to reduce only stubborn pockets of fat.
Do fat cells return?
There is no evidence of the destroyed fat cells redeveloping. There is a possibility of remaining fat cells increasing in size if exercise and a sensible diet are not maintained.
Am I suitable for Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections?
This treatment is not designed as a solution for removing significant amounts of fat. A person who finds that a small amount of stubborn fat is affecting the contouring of their body, despite eating a balanced diet and taking regular exercise, is more likely to get the results they seek.
How to prepare
Please ensure you arrive to your appointment make up free.
Ask as many questions as you feel necessary. Im here to help you.
If its your first time, try and stay relaxed and remember – you are here for a reason. It can be an exciting time, working with you to improve something that may be affecting you. Or for the simple reason that you just want a refresh and improve what you’ve already got, whilst still looking natural.
The downtime of treatments can be minimal for most undertaking them, with bruising being the most common risk. Although bruises are only temporary, here are some suggestions to help your experience be the best it can be and how to prepare for your treatment.
To minimize the chance of bruising following injections:
- Avoid alcohol 48hrs prior to your appointment
- Consider taking arnica 5-7 days before your appointment
- Stay well hydrated for 24 hours prior to your appointment
The following medication, this may increase your risk of bruising:
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen/naproxen
- Vitamin E
- Fish oil
- St Johns Wort
- Ginseng
Please Note: if you have been prescribed medication for a medical condition, please ensure you speak to an appropriate medical professional before stopping medication.
What to expect after treatment
You will start to see an improvement within 2-3 days following treatment, having a full effect at around day 12.
Over this time, you will notice a decrease in muscle movement in the treated area – in turn, reducing the line formation in the area.
You may require a follow up appointment at 2 weeks to review the results of the treatment and see if you require any adjustments. Dose adjustments can be made at this appointment to correct asymmetry or to treat muscles that have not relaxed adequately with the initial dose.
This is covered in the original cost.
The best use of anti-wrinkle treatment is not to let it fully wear off. By doing this you are never allowing the treated muscle to return back to full movement and contraction. When you begin to see muscle movement returning, this is when you should think about having further treatment to ensure you get the most from the desired results
Aftercare
Please ensure that the following aftercare instructions are fully adhered to, to avoid adverse reactions.
It is recommended to use the muscle excessively for the 1st hour following treatment
“Botox binds to receptors on nerve cells to relax muscles, and it is possible that this exercise speeds this binding process,”
You should remain in an upright position for 4 hours following treatment to limit the spread of substance at the injection site.
Use a gentle cleanse and water to clean the face for the following 72hours. Gently dry the treated area. Always make sure the hands are clean before touching the treated area.
Ensure you keep well hydrated following treatment and use creams which hydrate the skin and aid skin healing. Serum antioxidants can help soothe skin and contain properties that promote skin healing.
To ensure a proper healing environment following treatment, it is advisable to avoid the following:
For up to 24hrs:
- Alcohol consumption
- Applying make-up
- Touching or rubbing the treated area
- Strenuous exercise or activity. Sweating and gym environments may increase harmful bacteria and may cause adverse reactions.
For at least 3 days post treatment:
Do not use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acids, Retinol (vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.
For up to 2 weeks:
- Extreme facials and facial massage
- Extreme sun exposure
- UV light
- Temperatures below 0 degrees
- Saunas and steam rooms
- Wearing well fitted garments on the treated area – such as hats
If you have any concerns following your treatment or would like to arrange a follow up appointment, please contact the clinic at your earliest convenience
