Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving
AQUALYX® is an enzyme that works by breaking down fat. It can be used to treat localised pockets of fat under the surface of the skin, and is suitable for areas such as under the chin, the armpits (bra fat), back, stomach, hips and knees. AQUALYX® is not a weight loss solution but works by helping to remove stubborn areas of fat that cannot be targeted by diet and exercise.
The treatment is a permanent solution to removing the fat, however the client must maintain a constant weight (e.g. not gaining weight) by ensuring a healthy lifestyle otherwise the fat may reappear.
How does the Aqualyx® treatment work?
The body produces desoxycholan-acid; a bile acid which is made in the liver and helps the digestion of fat. The Aqualyx® solution contains this bile acid and its fat dissolving properties are utilised in this treatment.
Aqualyx® works by locking onto the wall of the fat cell and making it unstable. This releases the content of fatty acid inside.The body then uses up the fatty acid as energy and removes the cell residue inits normal way.
Treatment areas for Aqualyx®
Aqualyx® injections can be used on the entire body.Areas include:
- Double chin
- Pre jowl sulcus
- Upper arms
- Arm pits
- Waist
- Hips
- Saddle bags
- Knees
- Fat depots on buttocks, chest and inner thighs
It can also treat the condition called buffalo-humps.
How many treatments are required
One treatment of AQUALYX® typically involves only 1 or 2 injection sites, and a local anaesthetic solution of lidocaine is used to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Typically we advise 2 – 8 treatments, depending on the area. Larger areas such as the stomach will need more AQUALYX® treatments than a smaller area such as the chin.
The treatment
Aqualyx® is injected into the subcutaneous fat tissue and the area may be slightly red or swollen directly after the treatment, which usually settles within 1-2 days.
After the treatment
There is no down time following treatment. You should avoid extreme heat and avoid strenuous exercise for the next seven days. As the fatty acids that are being released are utilised into additional energy it is essential to maintain a healthy diet as alternative fat deposits in the body may be used to store fat.
*Treatments are bespoke for every individual and results may vary.
