Aqualyx is an injectable treatment used to dissolve localized, stubborn fat deposits, not for weight loss. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance, which is injected into the fat cells to destroy their membranes, allowing the body's lymphatic system to flush out the liquefied fat over time. The process requires multiple sessions for maximum results, with recovery including temporary swelling and bruising. 

How it works

A doctor injects Aqualyx into a targeted fat pocket.

The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down the fat cell membranes.

The liquefied fat is then naturally processed and removed by the body's lymphatic system.

Results are gradual and more subtle, with potential for smooth skin retraction. 

Who is an ideal candidate

Individuals with stubborn fat that won't go away with diet and exercise.

People with good skin elasticity, as the skin needs to retract smoothly after the fat is gone.

Those who are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have skin diseases or conditions that affect fat processing. 

The procedure

A consultation with a trained doctor is necessary to discuss goals and medical history.

The area is cleaned, and the solution is injected using a specialized needle.

Multiple sessions, typically spaced 4-5 weeks apart, are needed for optimal results. 

What to expect during and after

The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require surgery.

Some swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness are normal and may last for several weeks.

A firm massage can help if lumps or other issues persist before the next session.

While the fat cells are permanently destroyed in the treated area, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is still important to prevent new fat from accumulating.
