We are delighted to bring Fat Dissolving Injections Treatment to our London clinic. Aqualyx fat dissolving injections have emerged as a groundbreaking non-surgical solution for those seeking to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat.
This innovative treatment offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, providing patients with the opportunity to achieve their desired aesthetic goals without the need for surgery.
This is one of our favourite treatments because it gives permanent and consistent results. Aqualyx fat dissolving injections treatment can be used in areas such as jowls, double chin and under arm bingo wings. It can be used on larger fat pocket but more treatments are required.
Whilst fat dissolving injections will never have the same results as traditional lipo suction, it will have fantastic results on small localised fat pocket. During our consultation, we will discuss if this is the correct treatment for you.
What is Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injection Treatment?
Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections is a specially formulated injectable solution that contains a unique combination of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate. These ingredients work together to target and break down fat cells in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, and chin. Once injected into the targeted area, Aqualyx® disrupts the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to release their contents. They are then metabolised by the body through it’s lymphatic system. This process ultimately leads to a reduction in localised fat deposits and a more contoured appearance.

What Does Having Aqualyx® Body Fat Dissolving Injections Involve?

- Treatment Day: On the day of treatment, the targeted area is marked, and the Aqualyx® solution, mixed with lidocaine for comfort, is injected.
- Number of Injections: Multiple injections are administered to ensure full coverage of the area to be treated.
- Post-Treatment Massage: After treatment, our doctors will manipulate/massage the areas, and you’ll continue this massage at home for several days.
- Recovery: Expect swelling, discoloration, tenderness, and bruising, lasting 7-10 days. Improvement is typically visible after 6 to 8 weeks.
The Treatment Process
We start with a detailed consultation to assess your suitability for treatment and discuss your aesthetic goals.During the procedure, we will cleanse the targeted area and mark it for precise injection points. We will then administer the Aqualyx solution using fine needles to ensure accurate placement and optimal results. Depending on the size of the treatment area, you may require multiple injections to achieve the desired outcome. Following the procedure, patients may experience mild discomfort and/or swelling, which should resolve within a few days.
Who Can and Can’t Have Aqualyx Treatment?
Aqualyx® is generally safe for healthy individuals. However, it is not recommended for:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Individuals diagnosed with lipodystrophy
- Immuno compromised individuals, including those with type 1 diabetes
How Long Will My Results Last?
Results of Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections are permanent as long as a stable weight is maintained through a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Are There Any Side Effects?
While fat dissolving injections are generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild side effects following treatment. Such as temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These side effects typically subside within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication if necessary. To date, no major side effects have been reported. However, the swelling is the normal and worst side effect of this treatment. It can be particularly visible when treating a double chin.
What Will I Need to Do After My Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Treatment?
- Avoid cosmetics in the treated area for 12 hours.
- Avoid direct heat and radiation sources (sunlight, UV radiation, saunas).
- Refrain from demanding physical exercise for 7 days.
- Maintain a healthy diet to prevent fat storage in alternative depots.
What Makes us Different?
Lorena’s technique has proven to give patient’s fantastic results. She understands the required amount of product, does not skimp on it, and has developed a painless technique.
You may require up to 4 treatments depending on the area that we’re treating.
It is worth mentioning that although the procedure itself does not cause pain, the swelling induced by the treatment is significant and typically lasts for up to 2 weeks. There can also be some tenderness in the area. The more swelling the better the results. However, it is a good idea to plan your social life around having this done. It is fair to say that if we’re working on your face or chin, the swelling will be noticeable for at least a week. You will begin to see results after week 3.
Given the above, it is also important to mention that having an area we’re already self conscious about look worse, even if it’s temporarily and completely worth it, can be quite difficult. Lorena had done a YouTube video (please follow her for great beauty tips) where she talks about how she felt when she had the treatment done.
Price starts at £350 depending on the size of the area.
