Treatment Overview
Aqualyx® is an injectable fat-reduction treatment developed to target selected areas of localised subcutaneous fat. It offers a non-surgical approach to body contouring for appropriately assessed individuals.
Rather than focusing on overall weight loss, the treatment is intended to address specific areas of concern where localised fat deposits may affect body contours.
How Does Aqualyx Work?
Aqualyx contains compounds from the deoxycholate family that act on fat cells within the treated area. Following treatment, the body gradually processes the affected tissue. Changes in contour, where achieved, develop over time rather than immediately.
Treatment outcomes vary, and not all areas or individuals are suitable.
Who May Be Suitable?
Aqualyx may be considered for adults who:
Have localised areas of subcutaneous fat
Are seeking non-surgical body contouring options
Have realistic expectations about treatment outcomes
Understand that multiple treatments may be required
Are suitable following a comprehensive clinical assessment
Aqualyx is not intended as a treatment for obesity or general weight loss.
Treatment Areas
Suitability depends on your anatomy, the specific treatment area and the manufacturer’s current instructions for use. During your consultation, we will discuss your concerns, assess whether injectable fat reduction is appropriate and explore alternative treatment options where necessary.
Clinical Disclaimer
Aqualyx is an injectable treatment that carries risks and is not suitable for everyone. Treatment should only be undertaken following an appropriate clinical assessment by a suitably qualified healthcare professional. Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Aqualyx™ injections non-surgically reduce localised fat deposits. Aqualyx™ is a Class III medical device. The injectable solution is synthesised to dissolve topical fat upon injection into the localised area. Aqualyx™ has risks and benefits. Consult your healthcare professional to find out if Aqualyx™ is right for you.
Risks & Side Effects
Following treatment, temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness and firmness may occur. More significant complications are possible, including infection, persistent nodules, nerve injury, skin ulceration and tissue damage.
Downtime and recovery vary between individuals. Your clinician will explain the potential risks, expected recovery and when to seek medical attention.
Longevity
Changes in the treated area may develop gradually over a few weeks. Some people may require multiple sessions, and results can vary depending on the treatment area, individual response and other factors. A specific degree of fat reduction or duration of results cannot be guaranteed.
What To Expect
A course of 2–6 treatments may be recommended, depending on the area being assessed, individual response and clinical considerations. The number of sessions and the intervals between treatments will be discussed during your consultation and must follow the applicable product instructions.
