How do Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections work?

Clinical studies have shown that when correctly injected into the regional adipose (fatty) tissue, Aqualyx fat-reducing injections dissolve fat cells. The product was developed and patented by a renowned aesthetic surgeon, Professor Pasquale Motolese.

The main component of Aqualyx is Deoxycholic acid (DC), a secondary bile acid naturally present in the body. When this is injected into the subcutaneous layer, it destabilises the fat cell membranes and causes the permanent dissolution of fat cells. A reduction in fat deposits becomes visible within three to four weeks, as the fat cells are released and removed naturally via the lymphatic system through your urine.

Treatment Summary

Number of treatments needed


Typically, Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections must be repeated between two to five times, depending on the fat deposits, chosen area, and how well your body responds to each treatment. We recommend that Aqualyx injections be repeated every three to four weeks until you achieve maximum fat loss in the treated area.

Side Effects:

 
After each treatment, you can expect some mild swelling, bruising, redness, itchiness, and tenderness in the treated area. These symptoms are common and will subside after three to six days. Small lumps may also form as the fat cells dissolve, but these will generally dissipate within two weeks. Fat dissolving injections are very safe, although rare complications, such as infections and nerve damage, are possible. These are far more likely to occur when Aqualyx is not administered correctly by a qualified doctor or surgeon.

Treatment Duration

 
The treatment duration can last for 5-7 months. Female patients in the reproductive age group will be needed to have monthly consultation with Dr. Beepaul Saju, where monthly pregnancy test will be done, and twice monthly blood test would be done prior to re-prescribing. Female patients in the reproductive age group will only be given 30 days of medicine during each prescription. For male patients, after starting the treatment consultations will be done every 2 monthly and blood test repeated every 3 monthly. Male patients will be given 60 days of medicine during each prescription.

Fat-reducing injections can be administered almost anywhere you want to reduce localised fatty tissue. The most popular Aqualyx treatment areas include the following:

  • Chin

Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections are administered through a unique injection technique called “Aqualysis”, which follows a precise protocol.

The treatment should only be performed by a competent doctor registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) who has undertaken specialised training in specific techniques using Aqualysis cannulas (long, flexible plastic tubes).

Aqualyx is very versatile and can be injected into almost any part of the body where there are localised pockets of fat.
