Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx is a compound solution from the deoxycholate family that has been physically modified and, by creating a slow release sugar-based system, the biological half-life is reduced which results in minimal side effects.

The treatment should only be performed by a Doctor or Surgeon,Dentist and Nurse Prescriber with  specialist training and criteria. Our lead Nurse Kristeen Geddes has passed the criteria to be able to treat her patients independently.

Patients report good tolerance of the treatment.

The treatment will be repeated between two and three times under the chin depending on the number of small pockets of fat tissue to be reduced. The treatment is repeated every  four weeks.

After each treatment patients can expect some swelling, bruising redness and skin irritation and tenderness in the area treated, which will subside after four to six days. Swelling occurs in the chin area

Contraindications: Pregnancy and lactation, liposdystrophy, pathological conditions and for those under 18 years of age. We can also treat older patients who have good skin quality in the areas to be treated.

A reduction in fat deposits can usually be seen after just one treatment, however between three and eight sessions are required to see the optimal effect. The speed at which results are seen will vary depending on the stability of the cell membranes; younger patients are more likely to results after a longer period. Results may vary from patient to patient and case by age.

It is suitable for patients who do not want the more invasive liposuction or laser lipo treatments, who do not have large amounts of fat to remove and who are over 18 years. However the use of Aqualyx can be used in those over the age of 65 with good skin quality (used off licence). The treatment is not suitable for pregnant or lactating women or those with a pathological condition.

No, Aqualyx® and Aqualysis are aimed at reducing stubborn pockets of fat

Minimal side effects have been reported globally since its introduction, but patients can expect a little skin irritation, bruising and oedema, which will ease after a few days into a week. A special garment is recommended to wear after the treatment for best results and reduce swelling. This will be an extra charge for the garment
