Aqualyx – fat dissolving solution

A non-surgical fat reduction treatment

Aqualyx Therapy (Aqualysis^TM) is fat dissolving injections resulting in a safe, permanent and effective reduction of fat. ‘The slimming effect takes place gradually, there is no hospital stay, no general anaesthetic, minimal discomfort and bruising, so it’s no wonder Aqualysis^TM is proving to be so popular with clients.

Aqualyx^® is a minimally invasive treatment option for men and women who want to reduce stubborn pockets of localised subcutaneous fat without surgery and less recovery time. The treatment is gentle, virtually pain-free, low risk   and does not take long. Aqualyx® works by melting or liquefying the fat calls, the products of which are naturally removed by your body’s lymphatic system.

Aqualyx is ideal for people who have a healthy diet and exercise plan but cannot reduce small but resistant areas such as double chin, saddle bags, tummy, inner thighs, upper arms or knees. A healthy diet cannot target weight loss to certain parts of the body and not everyone can spend hours in the gym working on problem areas.

Aqualyx^® is a gel-based aqueous solution that dissolves fat. It is bio-compatible and biodegradable and contains desoxycholan acid, which is actually produced by the body in the liver to aid with the digestion of fat.

License status

Aqualyx^® is a medical device. It was developed by a respected Italian professor, Dr Paqsuale Motolese and is the only product available for Aqualysis™ treatment with a registered medical CE mark approved in December 2012. It has been used in clinics across Europe since 2009.

Fat deposits on buttocks, chest and inner thighs
Knees
Hips

Treatment

Injections of Aqualyx® into the target area will gently and slowly release the fat by breaking down the fat cell walls. The body metabolises the released lipids and the fat cells in the area being treated are permanently destroyed. Clients report minimal discomfort during the treatment and the effects will start to become visible after a week or two. The time taken for a treatment session will depend upon the size of the area and site being treated. Generally it takes between 30-60 minutes per treatment and the patient will typically require 2-8 treatments, 4 weeks apart. Some people may see significant results after 1 or 2 sessions.

Aqualysis™ with Aqualyx® requires a special injection technique and because subcutaneous fat contains little or no nerves and a local anaesthetic is also used the treatment is usually well tolerated by patients. An optional ultrasound device is then applied over the surface of the skin in the targeted area and this causes the movement of liquids both inside and outside the fat cells. The fat cells start to balloon and break up, leading to the drainage of micro-droplets of fatty liquid into the body, which is then filtered through the lymphatic system and excreted.

Aftercare

Massage (manual or ultrasound) is helpful to increase circulation and enhance the result.

After the treatment, the fat cells in the target area are destroyed so with a healthy diet and exercise plan, it is easy to maintain the new body shape.

We may advise you to wear a compression garment for a few weeks and there might be a little bruising, itchiness or redness that will quickly subside. Wearing a tight workout garment that compresses the injection site may decrease the discomfort you experience while exercising.

You should probably refrain from any strenuous exercise on the day you receive your injections and stick to gentle exercises for about a week following procedure.
