Whether you’re new to Aqualyx or just want to brush up on your knowledge, we’ve pulled together answers to some of the most frequently asked questions from our customers.
What is Aqualyx?
Aqualyx is an injectable fat-dissolving treatment used to target and eliminate stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. It contains deoxycholic acid, a compound that breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally flushed out by the body over time.
What areas can Aqualyx be used on?
Aqualyx is suitable for treating localized fat deposits in areas such as:
- Double chin
- Jowls
- Upper arms
- Abdomen
- Flanks/love handles
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Bra/back fat
- Knees
It is not designed for overall weight loss but for contouring and sculpting smaller, stubborn areas.
How many sessions are typically needed?
Most patients require 2–6 sessions depending on the treatment area and the volume of fat being targeted. Sessions are usually spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
Who is not suitable for Aqualyx?
Aqualyx is not suitable for:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Individuals with severe autoimmune conditions
- Patients with liver or kidney disease
- People with hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients
A full consultation and medical history should always be taken before treatment.
What injection technique is used?
Aqualyx should be administered using a cannula or needle, depending on the area and technique preference. The most commonly used technique is intralipotherapy, where the product is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat layer.
We strongly recommend training and certification before offering Aqualyx treatments to ensure safe and effective use.
What’s the downtime?
Downtime is minimal, but patients can expect:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Bruising
- Tenderness
These side effects usually subside within a few days to a week.
