What is the Treatment?

Aqualyx is a non-surgical solution to minimise and remove stubborn localised pockets of fat. It is ideal for those who exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet but have pockets of fat that won’t shift, even with focused exercise. 

This technique, consists of injecting the solution into localised fat deposits. Aqualyx consists of phosphatidylcholine – a natural substance which, when given in higher doses, can cause the destruction of fat cells. Destroying the fat cells is a long-term solution provided you retain a stable weight, eat healthily and continue exercise as usual. Aqualyx leads to a permanent reduction of fatty tissue; once removed, fat cells will not reappear!!

How Does It Work?

Aqualyx works by breaking down cell membranes to liquify the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.  The procedure consists of a set of injections, administered 3-4 weeks apart, injected directly into the targeted area.

Aqualyx can be used on the following areas:

• Stomach (upper and lower)

• Love handles

• Arms

• Chin & jowls

• Flanks & waist

• Inner and outer thighs

• Underarms & armpits

• Under-bra fat

• Knees

• Pelvic mound

Treatment Time

30 - 45 mins per area

Treatment Cost

£149 facial or small area

£199 body area

A reduction in fat deposits can be seen after just one treatment, however between one to four sessions may be required for optimal results.

What to Expect

After a consultation your therapist will mark out the area of concern in a grid like manner. Aqualyx is then mixed with Lidocaine (anaesthetic) before injection for greater comfort to the client. A number of injections are administered per area to ensure the area if fully covered. The small needles allow small areas to be tackled effectively such as double chin or jowls. After the procedure has finished the area will be cleaned, and aftercare advise given.

Down Time

As Aqualyx a non-surgical solution it means there is no downtime and no general Anaesthetic risks.  

There are some temporary side effects, which include bruising, swelling, redness and irritation in the injection area. Sometimes it may feel a slightly tender to touch, numb or itchy but these side effects usually reside after 1-3 days.
