FAT DISSOLVING
INJECTIONS

WHAT ARE FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS?

Aqualyx® treatment is a fat dissolving injection that works by liquidating fat cells and destroying them permanently. The broken-down cells are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system. This treatment is performed by one of our Aqualyx® expert doctors. Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections are an excellent treatment for those looking to treat areas on the body with stubborn, localised fat. Please note that Aqualyx® fat dissolving injection is a body contouring treatment, not a weight loss solution. Aqualyx® treatments are only applicable for small, localised areas, and patients should already be within 1 stone of their ideal weight. For larger areas such as rolls on the stomach, we recommend fat freezing and for an overall reduction of an entire area we recommend inch loss.

WHAT DOES HAVING AQUALYX® BODY FAT DISSOLVING

INJECTIONS INVOLVE?

  1. You will have a consultation with one of our Aqualyx® expert doctors, if you are deemed suitable for treatment and wish to go ahead then treatment can be performed on the same day as consultation or book a future appointment.

  2. On the day of treatment, the area to be treated is marked out. The Aqualyx® solution is mixed with lidocaine (an anaesthetic) before injection for your comfort.

  3. A number of injections are administered to ensure the area of fat to be removed is fully covered.

  4. After treatment, the doctor will manipulate/massage the areas and you will have to continue this massage at home for several days after your treatment

  5. You will experience swelling/discolouration of the skin and tenderness, on most occasions you will have some bruising. The area will feel tender for 7- 10 days and appear swollen for this time.

  6. You will require 2 or 3 treatments, with improvement normally becoming visible after the second treatment.
