Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections – Body

Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx® is an injectable fat reduction procedure, used to ‘dissolve’ stubborn pockets of fat which remain resistant to diet or exercise.

The solution contains a compound known as deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.

The Aqualyx® treatment is ideal for tackling stubborn areas of fat on the body, such as:

• Tummy, ‘muffin top’, stomach or abdomen
• Hips or ‘saddle bags’
• Thighs – including inner thigh area
• Knees
• Buttocks
• ‘Bingo wings’ – upper arms
• Inner thighs
• ‘Man boobs’

How does Aqualyx® Work?

Here’s how Aqualyx® works:

1. Injection
   Aqualyx® is injected directly into the stubborn fat deposits. The procedure is usually performed by a qualified medical professional.
2. Fat Breakdown
   Once injected, Aqualyx® acts on the adipocytes (fat cells) in the treated area. Deoxycholic acid disrupts the cell membrane of these fat cells, causing them to break down.
3. Fat Elimination
   The broken-down fat is then released into the interstitial fluid and subsequently metabolized by the body. The body naturally processes and expels the released fat through the lymphatic system.
4. Results
   Patients typically see improvements in the targeted areas within a few weeks, with optimal results often visible after a series of treatments, depending on the individual and the area being treated.
5. Non-Surgical
   Aqualyx® is a non-surgical fat reduction option, which makes it appealing for those looking to avoid more invasive procedures like liposuction.

It’s important to note that while Aqualyx® can be effective for localised fat reduction, it is not a weight-loss treatment and should not replace a healthy lifestyle. It’s also essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine whether Aqualyx® is the right option for your specific needs and to discuss potential side effects or risks associated with the treatment.
