Aqualyx is a non-surgical treatment designed to target and reduce stubborn fat in areas that are resistant to regular exercise and a balanced diet.
This fat-dissolving procedure involves injecting a specialised solution into localised fat deposits. This process leads to the permanent reduction of fat cells in the treated areas. It is important to note that Aqualyx is intended for body contouring rather than weight loss.
In addition to Aqualyx, our clinic offers DesoBody and DesoFace treatments, which are specifically designed for fat reduction in the body and facial areas, respectively.
Aqualyx works through a process known as lipolysis, where the active ingredients in the solution, derived from the deoxycholate family of acids and also known as Motolese’s Solution, named after the professor who pioneered its use, break down fat cells in specific areas of the body. Once injected, Aqualyx starts to liquefy the fat, which is then naturally metabolised and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.
This targeted approach allows for precise fat reduction in areas that are often resistant to diet and exercise. Aqualyx can be used to treat various areas of the body, including the abdomen, love handles, thighs, back, underarms, and chin and jawline.
Your trained practitioner will conduct a thorough assessment, and photos will be taken to document the results throughout your Aqualyx treatment process. This ensures that every stage of your treatment is carefully monitored. We will evaluate whether you are a suitable candidate for Aqualyx and review your current medical history to confirm that the treatment is appropriate for you before proceeding. You will be provided with comprehensive information about the dos and don’ts related to the treatment, and detailed aftercare recommendations will be explained to ensure optimal results.
During the procedure, the targeted area is first cleaned, and a local anaesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort. Next, Aqualyx is carefully injected into the fatty tissue using a fine needle. The injection may cause some mild discomfort due to its acidic properties. Most patients can expect to experience a degree of uneasiness and itchiness around the treated areas.
It is normal for initial swelling to occur, with the swelling potentially increasing during the first 3 hours after treatment. This swelling can persist for a period ranging from 3 to 7 days. Redness may also develop in the treated area, and it is common for the area to feel inflamed. These reactions are typical and part of the body’s natural response to the treatment. If you have any concerns about the intensity or duration of these effects, please consult your practitioner for further guidance and support.
The fat reduction process continues over several weeks as your body metabolises the dissolved fat. You may begin to notice improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results becoming visible after a few months. The exact timeline can vary depending on individual factors and the areas treated. Depending on your goals and the treated area, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the best results. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help sustain your results and enhance the effects of the Aqualyx treatment.
It is highly advisable to avoid any form of heat exposure during the recovery period, including saunas, steam rooms, gyms, sunbeds, and natural sunbathing. This should be avoided for at least 3 days following the treatment. The treated area is likely to be inflamed and swollen for a minimum of 4 – 7 days. To prevent worsening these effects and to ensure the best possible healing, it is crucial to refrain from activities that could raise your body temperature. By doing so, you will help to minimise additional, unnecessary swelling and support a smoother recovery process.
We strongly recommend that you drink plenty of water throughout your fat injections journey. Staying well-hydrated is essential as it helps your lymphatic system efficiently expel toxins and dead cells from your body. To support optimal recovery and assist your body in flushing out these by-products effectively, we suggest aiming for a daily intake of 2 litres of water. This will not only help maintain proper hydration but also enhance your overall well-being during the recovery period.
The fat cells treated by Aqualyx are theoretically permanently destroyed. However, it is important to note that we cannot control your body’s ability to produce new fat cells over time. To ensure the best results and maintain the effects of the treatment, it is crucial to follow a balanced and healthy diet. Additionally, keeping your weight within a healthy range is essential. By doing so, you will support the long-term effectiveness of the treatment and help prevent the accumulation of new fat in the treated areas.
Most patients report experiencing minimal discomfort during the procedure. To ensure a comfortable experience, a local anaesthetic or numbing cream is typically applied to the treatment area beforehand. This approach helps to minimise any potential discomfort and makes the procedure as smooth as possible. Our goal is to provide you with a pleasant experience, allowing you to undergo the treatment with as little discomfort as possible.
