AQUALYX – FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS

AQUALYX – FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS

Aqualyx® is a non-surgical solution to minimize and remove stubborn localized pockets of fat. It 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.

This technique, known as Aqualysis™ or Aquaplasty™, consists of injecting the solution into localised fat deposits. Aqualyx® consists of phosphatidylcholine – a natural substance which, when given in higher doses, can cause the destruction of fat cells.

Destroying the fat cells is a long-term solution provided you retain a stable weight, eat healthily and continue exercise as usual. Aqualyx® leads to a permanent reduction of fatty tissue; once removed, fat cells will not reappear.

Important: Aqualyx® is a body contouring treatment not a weight loss solution. Treatments with Aqualyx® are only applicable for small, localized areas. Clients must be within one stone of their recommended body weight to have treatment and be able to pinch about 3cm of fat.

  • Great for individuals who find it hard to get rid of stubborn fat deposits even with diet and exercise regime

HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK?

Aqualyx works by breaking down cell membranes to liquify the fat cell, permanently destroying it, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lympatic system.

The procedure consists of a set of injections, administered 3-4 weeks apart, whereby Aqualyx is injected into the targeted area.

After consultation your practitioner will mark out the area of concern you’ve identified. Aqaulyx is then mixed with lidocaine (anaesthetic) before injection for greater comfort and a number of injections in a fan effect make sure the area is fully covered. The elastic needles allow small areas to be tackled effectively such as double chins or jowls.

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

WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY CONSULTATION

During your consultation a detailed medical history will be taken, helping the practitioner to determine whether treatment is an appropriate product/treatment for you to receive and whether it will help you achieve the results that you are looking for. This will also reduce the risk of any unwanted side effects from the treatment. During this consultation the potential risks and aftercare recommendations are discussed.

Make sure you’ve allowed for enough downtime after the procedure. If you’re having the neck treated, you may wish to bring a scarf with you.
