What is Aqualyx Fat Dissolving?
Aqualyx was developed for the non-surgical fat reduction of localized fat under the skin. It is an injectable, gel-based aqueous solution, which dissolves the fat and is biocompatible and biodegradable. Fat-dissolving injections work by injecting into the subcutaneous layer of fat, breaking down the fat cells and allowing them to pass through the lymphatic system.
If you are looking for advice or a consultation before the treatment is carried out, contact our Milton Keynes clinic.

FAQ's
Fat-dissolving injections contain synthetic deoxycholic acid (which naturally occurs in the body) or liquid lecithin (derived from soya beans or egg yolks) The most likely side effect is light bruising and swelling.
Although everyone’s pain threshold is different, you may experience some discomfort or a mild burning sensation. Most people do not report that it is too uncomfortable.
Sessions are not a ‘one size fits all’. Typically, under chin is 1 session and tummy area is 3-5. This is just a guide as each persons fat cells are unique and may require more/less than others. Most see a noticeable difference just after 1 session.
The practitioner will carry out a consultation before the procedure. Each session involves several injections depending on the individual. AQUALYX is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat tissue of a selected area.

- Those with abnormal bleeding (e.g. haemophilia, thrombocytopenia)
Side effects that may occur are red, tight, and itchy skin. Swelling may also occur but can be limited with the practitioner’s advice.
The results of an AQUALYX fat dissolving treatment are permanent under the condition of maintaining a constant weight measurement (i.e. assuming you do not gain weight). Once the freed fatty acids have been processed through the body’s lymphatic system, they don’t reappear.
However, the procedure is only permanent if you follow a healthy diet and exercise frequently following treatment. If you regain weight, it is likely that the fat pockets will reappear. If a healthy lifestyle is maintained, the results should be permanent.
