Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx is a non-surgical, injectable treatment that is used for fat dissolving. It is made up of a solution of deoxycholic acid, which is a natural acid found in the body that helps to break down and eliminate fat.

Aqualyx works by injecting the solution into the targeted area, where it breaks down and dissolves the fat cells. The body then naturally eliminates the fat through the lymphatic system.

Does Aqualyx actually work to reduce fat?

Yes, it does!

While results can’t be compared to surgical liposuction, where large amounts of fat are permanently removed from the body, the results of fat dissolving injections are still permanent.

Why not just use diet & exercise?

Sometimes diet and exercise are insufficient to get the form and profile we desire, and some regions are left behind, stubborn and difficult to shift.

AQUALYX injections can help with this since they can be used to target and break down fatty cell accumulation.

Fat cells are broken down and eliminated by regular biological functions after treatment, resulting in a slimmer contour.

How soon will I see the benefits from my fat dissolving injections?

The treatment takes time to reach its full effect but patients that have undergone follow-up examinations seven years after therapy still show a reduction in fat tissue in the treated areas. Some patients get good results from a single treatment, but many require 2-3 treatments. Rarely, up to 8 sessions are required for difficult areas. The recommended interval between repeat treatments is 4-6 weeks.

Are fat dissolving injections safe?

No major untreatable side effects have occurred in over 2 million treatments worldwide so far. Not one single incidence of overdose or toxic effects has been recorded.

The most common side effects of Aqualyx fat dissolving injections are swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and will typically resolve within a few days.

Aftercare for fat dissolving injections

You will have some swelling and redness in the area where we dissolve the fat for a few weeks.

This starts to settle after a few days and is normally gone in 3-4 weeks. You may have some discomfort but this is not usually severe. A little bruising is expected. You should not exercise for 5 days and some patients find mild compression clothing (e.g. Spandex) helps for non-facial treatment areas.

A low-fat diet can help to increase the effectiveness of Aqualyx. Long-term benefit is possible with a healthy lifestyle. The doctor or nurse will see you again after 4-6 weeks for review and consider further treatment.

Do fat dissolving injections permanently remove fat?

Fat cells will not regenerate or return once they have been destroyed.

However, it is critical to follow sound lifestyle guidelines, such as eating a nutritious diet and exercising regularly. This prevents the remaining fat cells from growing in size.

What aftercare do I need to follow after Aqualyx fat dissolving injections?

While it is generally a safe and effective treatment, it is important to follow proper aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results and minimize the risk of side effects.

After receiving Aqualyx injections, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. You should avoid massaging or rubbing the area, and you should also avoid applying any heat to the treated area (such as using a heating pad or taking hot baths). You should also avoid wearing tight clothing or participating in strenuous activities that could put pressure on the treated area.

You may be advised to take over-the-counter pain medication if you experience discomfort after the treatment. You should also keep the treated area clean and dry, and you may be advised to use a cold compress or take a pain reliever to reduce swelling and discomfort.

It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner closely, as improper aftercare can increase the risk of side effects. If you experience any unusual symptoms or have any concerns after your treatment, you should contact the clinic for further advice.

By following your practitioner’s instructions and taking good care of the treated area, you can help to minimize the risk of side effects and achieve the desired outcome.
