Aqualyx Fat Reduction

Aqualyx™ Fat Reduction Injections

Aqualyx™ is a safe, effective fat dissolving injection treatment that reduces fat cells in the treated area. It produces long lasting results, which means you can banish those annoyingly wobbly bits. Aqualyx™ can be used to treat small, exercise resistant, pockets of fat around the chin, chest, abdomen, thighs, knees and ankles. It is very effective for body contouring, but is not a treatment for weight loss.

What is Aqualyx™?

Aqualyx™ is made up from a number of different plant based compounds that have been refined in a lab environment. Aqualyx™ dissolves the membranes of fat cells in the treated area. The fat cells become unstable and break open. The fatty acids contained within the cell are then eliminated by macrophages (part of the body’s immune system) and the liver.

Are Aqualyx™ results permanent?

Whilst the body can regenerate fat cells – the process is very slow. So once fat cells are removed from a localised area your results are as good as permanent. However, if you do not continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle then your body will put on weight in other areas of your body where fat cells remain.

Is Aqualyx™ suitable for me?

If you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle and are close to your ideal body weight, but have isolated stubborn areas of fat then Aqualyx™ might be suitable. If you do not want invasive surgery and cannot afford the down time and discomfort of invasive liposuction, this is a great treatment to consider.

Popular areas that we treat are double chins, moobs, saddle bags, inner thighs, cankles and abdomen – including defining a six pack.

How soon do you see results?

The number of Aqualyx™ treatments required varies depending on the size of the fatty deposit. Typically 1–3 treatments for small areas, such as the jowls and under the chin, and 3–5 treatments for larger areas such as the thighs. Treatments are spaced at 4 weekly intervals. Your result will show 4 weeks after your final treatment which is when you will have a complimentary review with your practitioner.

How do I know Aqualyx™ is safe?

Aqualyx™ was developed by Professor Pasquale Motolese, Vice President of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Surgery and Medicine who presented it at the Aesthetic Medical International Congress in Milan in 2004.

Aqualyx™ has been given CE approval for use in the UK which means it meets the health and safety standards required by the European Union. Since 2009 Aqualyx™ has been used in over 2 million treatments in over 49 countries. It has a strong safety record supported by sound medical science.
