AQUALYX®

Fat Dissolving Injection

 



Aqualyx® treatment is a fat dissolving injection which works by liquidating fat cells, and destroying them permanently. The broken down cells are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system. This treatment is performed by one of our expert Aesthetic Practitioners.

Please note that Aqualyx® fat dissolving injection is a body contouring treatment, not a weight loss solution.

Technique

We will determine the depth of the fat cells by performing a pinch test. Using a surgical pen, grids will be mapped around the treatment area to be injected. Aqualyx soution is mixed with lidocaine (an anaesthetic) for your comfort.

Procedure

A number of small injections will be administered to ensure the area of fat to be removed is fully covered. After treatment, your practitioner will massage the areas, and you will have to continue this massage at home for several days after your treatment. Photographs will be taken as part of the clinical documentation. On average, the treatment takes 45 minutes

Downtime

There is minimal downtime. You will experience swelling/discolouration of the skin and tenderness, on most occassions you will have some bruising. The area will feel tender, which might last for a few weeks, a cold compress may be indirectly applied to the area for short periods.

Results

Results are usually visible around 4-8 weeks from the first or second treatment. Results are permanent under the condition of maintaining ideal weight, and leading a healthy lifestyle. It is important to drink a minimum of 2 litres of water daily. Avoid sun exposure, use of sunbeds and keep the treatment area clean and dry after treatment. Depending on treatment area, we recommend a course of 2-8 treatments, with repeat treatments after a minimum of 4 weeks. As with non-surgical aesthetic treatments, planned care treatments yields long-term results. To optimise results, careful compliance with after care advice are required.
