A non-invasive, safe and effective injectable substance which dissolves fatty deposits under the skin, which are tough to budge
Aqualyx®is a non-invasive, safe and effective injectable substance which dissolves fatty deposits under the skin, which are tough to budge. It was developed by renowned aesthetic surgeon the late Professor Motolese, Aqualyx® and has been used internationally since 2009. Since this time, over 2,000,000 vials have been used in 49 countries, worldwide. Aqualyx® contains desoxycholan acid, a secondary bile acid, produced by the liver which aids the digestion of fat. The substance in Aqualyx® is a synthetically manufactured variant of our own desoxycholan acid and mimics its properties when dissolving subcutaneous fat in areas of the body and face. The active substance locks on to the fat cell walls, making them unstable and causing them to release the fatty acid within them. The fatty acid is removed by the bodys’ own, natural defenses and the non-attached fatty acids are metabolized by the body and converted in to energy.
Aqualyx® can be administered in areas such as:-
Before any non-surgical treatment can take place, Dr Amy will ask that you attend a no obligation, comprehensive consultation, to discuss your concerns and to also take a full medical history. This will ensure the certainty that Aqualyx® will be a safe and suitable treatment for you to undergo. After this initial meeting and upon Dr Amy’s agreement to go ahead, you can book your first treatment session.
The number of treatments you might need for your individual concern will vary, depending on the dimensions of the fat deposit and your individual response to the injections. On average you should expect to have between 3 to 5 treatment sessions, in 6-8 week intervals.
Dr Amy will clean and sterilize the skin at the treatment sites. She will then inject the solution using a specially manufactured Aqualyx® cannula, with a specific, trained technique. It can be uncomfortable in some areas and therefore an anaesthetic solution might be added, depending on the area treated. However, this treatment is relatively comfortable.
You might experience a warm sensation, moderate itching, slight burning and reddening of the area, for up to 3 days following your Aqualyx® treatment. Swelling can be quite severe for the first few days so ensure you have no big plans in the days following treatment. Swelling & firmness can last between 2-6 weeks.
Results are long term, however Aqualyx® is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise and will no promote weight loss. Therefore it’s important that you take care of yourself after your treatment, so you do not put on fat in other areas of the body.
