Fat Dissolving

​

 

What is Aqualyx?

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 nurses.

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.

Dissolving injection

What do the injections involve?

​

• You will have a consultation with one of our Aqualyx® expert nurses, 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.

• 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.

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

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

• 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.

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