FAT DISSOLVING
WHAT IS AQUALYX?
Aqualyx is an injectable fat loss treatment. It is a gel-based solution, derived from cholanic acid, which is produced by our bile duct to help us break down fats. It is licensed for use in the UK for localised or spot removal of fat. It is not a weight loss solution and is suitable for smaller, stubborn pockets of fat.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Aqualyx is a non-surgical way of body-shaping. This gel-based solution is injected into areas of unwanted fat. The solution works by disrupting the surface of the fat cells, causing them to weaken and become permeable. The fat is then absorbed by the body and excreted. It is a permanent result assuming the person having the treatment doesn’t gain weight afterwards.
WHICH AREA CAN BE TREATED?
Aqualyx is suitable for treating: double chin, jowls, upper arms, armpits, waist, stomach, hips, chest, inner thighs,
buttocks as well as folds on the back.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
Some people may see an improvement after 1-2 session but up to 8 may be required depending on the amount of fat in the area. Chins, where there is less fat for example, may require one treatment while hips or thighs may require repeated treatments.
Treatments will usually be spaced 4 weeks apart.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?
You will see the results after about four to five weeks. Normally there is swelling after the treatment and once that has settled down you will start to see results.
