Aqualyx 10x8ml

About Aqualyx™

AQUALYX™ is a water-based solution that is injected into the fatty tissue, surrounds the cells and destroys them.  The remains of the fat cells are then excreted by the body safely as waste.  Within the following weeks the treated fat cells are gradually dissolved. The metabolism in the treated area is increased. Usually 2 injection spots are required per region with the amount of product used differing according to the area of fat being treated. The number of treatments required can vary dependent on the area/amount being treated with as little as 1 or 2 treatments required in some cases, going up to 8 in others.  Repeat treatments occur every 4 weeks.

What is it used for?

AQUALYX™ is intended for patients with localised fat tissue not responding to diet or increased physical exercise. AQUALYX™ is not intended for weight loss, it is used to improve and alter the contour of the body. Results cannot be compared to liposuction, as that is an operative method of fat reduction where large amounts of fat are permanently removed from the body. The results of AQUALYX™ are permanent, however the procedure takes time to reach its full effect.

What does the treatment involve?

During AQUALYX™ treatment, the skin is cleaned and then numbed with an anaesthetic cream before the solution is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat tissue using very thin, fine cannulas.  Local anaesthetic is added to the solution before injecting to make it more comfortable with the treatment being relatively painless. Patients report a warm sensation, itching, slight burning, slight swelling and reddening appearance for 1-3 days within the treated area.  Following treatment you may feel a little sore and swollen and we suggest you use light compression clothing for support and to aid the process.
