F.A.Q Click a question below to expand

  • Aqualyx is a non-surgical way of body shaping. This gel-based solution is iniected into areas of unwanted fat. The solution works by disrupting the surface of the fat cells, causing them to weaken and become permeable. An ultrasound treatment is then used to push the fat out of the cells. The fat is then absorbed by the body and excreted. It is a permanent result assuming the person having the treatment doesn't gain weight after the treatment.

  • Usually the doctor will inject the area with a local anaesthetic or mix it with the solution to reduce any discomfort. Each treatment will take 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

  • Aqualyx is suitable for treating: double chin, under arms, bra bulge, abdomen, love handles, outer and inner thighs.

  • Some people may see an improvement after 2 session but for others up to 5 treatments may be required depending on the amount of the fat in the area. Treatment will usually be spaced 10-14 days apart.

  • There may be redness, bruising and swelling that could last up to 48-72 hours. You can take over-the-counter painkillers but are advised not to take any anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Ibuprofen as it will work in contradiction with the treatment.

  • It is regarded as a safe treatment. The Aqualyx manufacturer has reported no major side effects.

  • Aqualyx is generally regarded as safe for most people but it is not recommended for clinically overweight people, or people who are under 18 or over 60 years of age. It is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women or people with lipodystrophy.

  • This treatment should only be carried out b a doctor or a nurse who has been trained in how to administer these injections.

  • Aqualyx can be effective at removing small pockets of stubborn fat. It is not an alternative for liposuction for large areas of fat removal and is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. The results will last if a stable weight is maintained. One thing to consider, if you have very lax skin, is that removing fat may leave you with excess skin which may require skin tightening afterwards.
