Aqualyx fat dissolving injections are an excellent treatment for those looking to treat areas on the face and body for stubborn, localised fat.

Aqualyx treatment is a highly effective, scientifically proven fat-dissolving injection that works by liquidating fat cells and destroying them permanently. The broken-down cells/liquefied fat is then naturally eliminated by the body through the lymphatic system.While the fat-dissolving process begins immediately, best results typically appear after 6-8 weeks.

This treatment is performed by one of our Aqualyx® expert doctors, who have been trained in accessing and treating a wide range of body concerns. We only use the very best, widely tested fat-dissolving injections such as Aqualyx and Deso and do not recommend Lemon Bottle injections. There is not much research on the safety and effects of Lemon Bottle injections while in contrast both Aqualyx and Deso have had extensive testing with regulated bodies with proven results. At Dr Leah Clinic patient safety is our priority and we only use products with the highest safety profile.

For larger areas of fat reduction such as the whole stomach area, we recommend fat freezing or inch loss.

When booking your FREE Aqualyx consultation we will access your needs and recommend the best fat reduction treatment for you from our range of body fat reduction treatments.

WHAT DOES HAVING AQUALYX® BODY FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS INVOLVE?

  • You will have a consultation with one of our Aqualyx® expert doctors, if you are deemed suitable for treatment and wish to go ahead then treatment can be performed on the same day as consultation or book a future appointment.
  • On the day of treatment, the area to be treated is marked out. The Aqualyx® solution is mixed with lidocaine (an anaesthetic) before injection. This ensures that the treatment is more comfortable.
  • A number of injections are administered to ensure the area of fat to be removed is fully covered.
  • After treatment, the doctor will manipulate/massage the areas and you will have to continue this massage at home for several days after your treatment
  • You will experience swelling /discolouration of the skin and tenderness, on most occasions you will have some bruising. The area will feel tender for 7- 10 days and appear swollen for this time.
  • You will require 2 or 3 treatments, with improvement normally becoming visible after the second treatment.

Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections in London & Essex Reviews

Here’s what our clients have to say…
I had Aqualyx fat dissolving injections to remove double chin with Dr Sheila at the Moorgate clinic, I had three treatments in total and the results are so good! I was swollen and sore after each, but it is totally worth it to have my double chin gone forever! I cannot thank you enough.

Simone, 33
I train and keep a healthy diet, but my jawline has always lacked definition due to the fat under my chin and jaw, Dr Sheila removed the fat using Aqualyx and Rasa did ultherapy treatment to tighten the remaining skin and I am delighted with my new jawline.

Carol, 36
After years of hating my arms I finally did something about it, I had Aqualyx and then profhilo on my arms and the results are amazing, I finally feel confident to show my arms.

Jan, 48

AQUALYX® FAQS

Who can and can’t have Aqualyx treatment?

As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the treated area there are few medical reasons why you should not undergo Aqualyx fat dissolving injections treatment.

However, Aqualyx® is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also not recommended for people who have been diagnosed with lipodystrophy or are immunocompromised for any reason including type 1 diabetes.

How long will my results last?

The results of an Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections treatment are permanent as long as you maintain a constant weight measurement i.e. you eat healthily, exercise regularly, and do not gain weight.

Are there any side effects?

Because Aqualyx® is a non-surgical treatment (no incisions or stitches required), there are no general anaesthetic risks and scarring is very unlikely. People treated with Aqualyx® will typically experience minimal side effects when compared to more invasive procedures, such as liposuction. There is likely to be swelling, bruising and tenderness which lasts 7 days after treatment.
The manufacturers report that, to date, no major side effects of Aqualyx® use have been reported to them.

What will I need to do after my Aqualyx® fat dissolving treatment?

Do not apply any cosmetics to the treated area within a 12-hour period.
Avoid all direct sources of heat and radiation e.g. sunlight, UV radiation, saunas.
You should also abstain from particularly demanding physical exercise for 7 days.
As the released fatty acids are converted into additional energy, it is especially important that you keep a healthy diet, otherwise your body will simply store the fat in an alternative fat depot.

Why not just exercise more, or go on a diet?

The ideal candidate for Aqualyx® treatment already lives a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly and eating a well-balanced diet, but has one troublesome pocket of fat that simply won’t disappear. The cause for this lies within our genetics – the double chin is a good example of fat that is often present even on very slim individuals. Other particularly stubborn pockets of fat that can be harder to resolve with exercise alone include love handles, stomach fat, bingo wings (fat under the arms), knee fat pads (fat knees), and back fat (bra fat).
All of these areas can be treated with Aqualyx.

Kybella UK vs Aqualyx

The rival fat dissolving injection to Aqualyx is called Kybella.
Kybella UK has just been approved for use in the UK and is considerably more expensive than aqualyx (over double the price, with results comparable).
