Aqualyx is a minimally invasive treatment which is a fantastic alternative to liposuction, without having to undergo surgery. The injection has skin tightening properties and is suitable for most people aged between 18-60 years who have a stubborn pocket of fat or a few fat deposits which will not budge. This form of fat removal may not be suitable for those who are clinically overweight. Our team of experts can discuss this and our other fat removal treatments when you book your consultation.

Typically a reduction in fat using this injection requires 2-4 treatments. A following treatment may be recommended depending on the size of the area. These injections will be 3-6 weeks apart.

Following your first course of injections, the process of fat dissolving takes around 4 weeks. You will start to see full results, including firmness and flattening around 8 weeks after your initial treatment. This is when fatty tissue dissolves and will naturally pass through urine and the lymphatic system.

With this fat dissolving treatment, you will NOT need general anaesthetic and the injections are minimally invasive. This means you will not need much downtime at all in order to go back to your normal daily routine. You will experience some bruising or swelling initially but this will gradually diminish and you will feel more comfortable within 6-9 days.

This treatment will destroy fat cells in your body and so is long lasting, up to four years. When combined with healthy dieting and exercise, the effects of this fat removal can last even longer.
