Am I suitable for Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx is a safe, efficient fat dissolving injection treatment that reduces fat cells in the treated area.

It can be used to treat small, exercise resistant, pockets of fat around the chin, chest, abdomen, thighs, knees and ankles.

Aqualyx is very effective for body contouring, but is not a treatment for weight loss.

A solution is injected into the localised deposits of tissue into areas which liquefies the fat cell and destroys it permanently.

The lipids (contents of the fat cells) are then released and eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

It normally requires a course of two to four treatments with four to six-week intervals between each session.

The procedure doesn’t hurt, however, you should expect some swelling which can take up to three weeks to subside.

If you are a healthy weight with a small amount of fat you wish to remove, are between 18-60 years old and you are not pregnant or lactating, then it could be right for you.

Aqualyx is not suitable if you:

• Have diabetes.
• Have liver or kidney disease.
• Have active skin problem in the area to be treated.
• Are taking blood thinning medicine e.g warfarin.

Aftercare – Aqualyx

Aqualyx is an injectable solution used to dissolve localised fat deposits in areas such as the hips, saddle bags, thigh, knees jowls and chin. The body then expels the released fatty acids naturally.

The number of treatments required varies depending on the thickness of fat to be removed. Typically 1-3 treatments for small areas (e.g. jowls) and 2-8 treatments for larger areas (e.g. thighs) at six weekly intervals.

 Recovery instructions: After treatment the area may redden and swelling and bruising may be experienced.

Aqualyx works by causing an inflammatory reaction in the fat cells which can result in swelling that lasts 3-5 days. This swelling can be obvious when having facial treatments (e.g. chin). During this time you may want to organise time off work / social engagements.

Swelling can be reduced with the use of a cool pack wrapped in a clean cloth and used for a maximum of 20 mins. Do not use any anti-inflammatory tablets for 48 hours.

Do not apply make-up or skincare to the treated area for 12 hours – then only use a clean brush or sponge for application until day five.

 Avoid for:

• Three days – extreme temperatures, swimming pools / spas / saunas .
• 10 days – physical exercise / alcohol .
• 14 days – laser, cryolipolysis or radiofrequency treatments.
