What are fat dissolving injections?

Are you struggling with stubborn fat pockets that won’t budge, despite your best efforts with diet and exercise? Aqualyx fat dissolving injections might be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Aqualyx is an injectable solution based on deoxycholic acid, a substance your body also makes naturally to help break down fat. When it’s injected into a small area of fat, it:

  • Breaking down the cell membranes of fat cells
  • Releasing the stored fat
  • Allowing the body to process and eliminate the broken-down fat cells through the lymphatic system

Benefits of Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections

Choosing Aqualyx for your non-surgical fat reduction needs offers numerous advantages:

  • Non-surgical: Unlike liposuction, Aqualyx doesn’t require surgery or general anesthesia.
  • Minimal Downtime: Return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
  • Targeted Fat Reduction: Precisely contour specific problem areas.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Achieve gradual, subtle improvements for a more natural appearance.
  • CE-marked: Aqualyx is a CE-marked medical device for reducing small areas of fat.

Where can fat dissolving injections be used?

Double chin

A small pocket of fat under the chin can soften the jawline, even if you’re slim elsewhere. It’s one of the most common areas we treat with Aqualyx.

Stomach

Aqualyx suits a small area of lower or upper stomach fat that hasn’t changed with exercise. It isn’t designed for larger areas, where Lipofirm may be a better fit.

Love handles and flanks

Fat that sits above the hips often stays put however much you train. Aqualyx can reduce a defined pocket on each side.

Arms

For a small area of fat on the back of the upper arm. If loose skin is the main concern, we’ll talk you through skin tightening options instead.

Inner and outer thighs

Aqualyx can treat a small, pinchable area on the inner or outer thigh.

Bra line and underarms

The soft area around the bra strap and underarm can be treated with Aqualyx where there’s a small, defined pocket of fat

You’ll need to be within about a stone of your ideal weight and able to pinch around 3 cm of fat in the area. We’ll check this at your consultation.

Non-surgical Fat Reduction

Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Aqualyx in reducing localised fat deposits.

The Aqualyx Treatment Process: What to Expect

Aqualyx Fat Dissolving injections work by breaking down cell membranes to break down the fat cell’s outer layer, releasing the fat so your body can clear it naturally, and releasing the lipids that eliminate naturally through the lymphatic system.

The procedure includes injecting Aqualyx Fat Reduction Injections into the target area administered 3-4 weeks apart.

When you choose Aqualyx fat dissolving injections at our London clinic, here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation: Our expert practitioners will assess your suitability for the treatment and discuss your goals.
  • Treatment Plan: We’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and desired outcomes.
  • Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and marked for precise injection.
  • Injection: Using fine needles, the Aqualyx solution is carefully administered into the targeted fat deposits.
  • Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to maximize results and minimize side effects.
  • Follow-up Sessions: Depending on your individual needs, we’ll schedule follow-up treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
Ideal Candidate for Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx is best suited for individuals who:

  • Are close to their ideal body weight
  • Have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
  • Desire body contouring rather than significant weight loss
  • Are in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about the treatment outcomes

It’s important to note that Aqualyx is not a weight loss solution but rather a body contouring treatment designed to target specific areas of stubborn fat.

Safety and Side Effects

Aqualyx is a CE-marked medical device and should only be given by a trained practitioner after a full consultation. It is approved by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK.

Common side effects are typically mild and temporary, including:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Redness
  • Tenderness in the treated area

These effects usually subside within a few days to a week after treatment.

Preparation and Aftercare

To ensure the best possible results from your Aqualyx fat dissolving treatment, follow these guidelines:

Before Your Treatment:

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for a week prior (unless medically necessary).
  • Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours before treatment.
  • Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup or lotions in the treatment area.

After Your Treatment:

  • Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling for the first 24-48 hours.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 3-5 days post-treatment.
  • Stay hydrated to help your body process the dissolved fat.
  • Wear compression garments if recommended by your practitioner.
  • Avoid excessive heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs) for a week after treatment.
  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for optimal results.

FAQs

Where can Aqualyx Fat Reduction Injections be used?

Aqualyx Fat Reduction Injection can be used in the following areas:

  • Stomach (inc. Sixpack definition)
  • Love handles
  • Arms
  • Chin
  • Flanks and waist
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Underarms and armpits
  • Under-bra area

It is important to know that fat dissolving injections are a body contouring and sculpting treatment, not a weight loss solution. Treatments with fat dissolving injections are only advisable for small, localised areas. Patients must be within one stone of their recommended body weight to have the treatment and be able to pinch about 3cm of fat.

Who can use Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections?

Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections is ideal for those who exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet but have pockets of fat that won’t shift, even with focused exercise.

How many Fat Dissolving Injections would I need?

Most people need between 2 and 8 sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, depending on the area. We’ll give you a clear plan at your consultation.

Is Aqualyx treatment painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A local anesthetic is mixed with the Aqualyx solution to ensure your comfort.

How soon will I see results from Aqualyx?

Initial results may be visible within 3-4 weeks, with full results typically seen after 6-8 weeks as your body processes the dissolved fat.

Are Aqualyx results permanent?

Results can be long-lasting if your weight stays stable. Fat cells in untreated areas can still grow if you gain weight, so a healthy lifestyle helps you keep your results.

Can Aqualyx be used for weight loss?

No, Aqualyx is not a weight loss treatment. It’s designed for body contouring and targeting specific areas of stubborn fat in individuals close to their ideal weight.

Is there any downtime after Aqualyx treatment?

Downtime is minimal, but you may experience some swelling and tenderness for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Can Aqualyx be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Aqualyx can be combined with other non-surgical treatments like skin tightening procedures for enhanced results. Discuss combination options with your practitioner.

Who should not have Aqualyx treatment?

Aqualyx fat reduction injection is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, autoimmune disorders), or those significantly overweight.

How does Aqualyx compare to surgical liposuction?

While liposuction can remove larger volumes of fat, Aqualyx offers a non-surgical alternative with minimal downtime for smaller, targeted areas of fat reduction.

Are there any long-term side effects of Aqualyx?

Most side effects are short-lived, such as swelling, bruising and tenderness for a few days. Your practitioner will go through the risks with you at your consultation.

How much do fat dissolving injections cost in London?

At Skin Logic, Aqualyx starts at £250 for a small area (5 x 5 cm), £330 for a medium area (10 x 10 cm) and £410 for a large area (20 x 20 cm) on our current offer. We’ll confirm your exact cost and number of sessions at your free consultation.

Can fat dissolving injections treat a double chin?

Yes. Under the chin is one of the most common areas we treat with Aqualyx. It suits a small pocket of fat rather than loose skin, so we’ll check which is causing the fullness before recommending treatment.

What's the difference between Aqualyx and Lemon Bottle?

Aqualyx is a CE-marked medical device injected into the fat itself. Lemon Bottle is a different product sold as a fat dissolver. Add this one after the Aqualyx vs Lemon Bottle blog goes live (13 Nov) and link to it.

All treatments are tailored to the individual and personal experiences and results may vary. We recommend a one to one consultation with our expert practitioners to discuss your treatment options.
