How does it work?

Aqualyx® is used to target fatty deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It used for lipolysis treatment to reduce localised and resistant fat deposits in different areas such as the chin, stomach, outer and inner thighs, hips, knees etc. The active ingredient induces a process called lipolysis, where the fat cells rupture and die. The Desoxychol-acid breaks down the fat cell wall releasing the fatty acid that is stored within. The bodies lymphatic system removes the fatty liquid through the venous system, where it is then processed in the same way as fatty foods are digested.

The number of Aqualyx treatments varies depending on the size of the fatty deposit. Typically 1-3 treatments are required for small areas, such as the jowls and under the chin, and 2-8 treatments for larger areas such as the thighs. Treatments are repeated at 3-6 weekly intervals.

Mild redness, and sometimes slight bleeding or bruising at the injection site can also occur however these temporary side effects quickly subside. You can take anti-inflammatory medication to relieve any discomfort and swelling (i.e. Paracetamol).
