Face and Body Contouring

Aqualyx

Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections can improve body contours. Aqualyx is a mixture of enzymes that break down fat. They are injected into extra fat, the fat cells swell, and then they break down over time. The fat is then naturally dissolved and flushed out by the body. It can be used to treat fat pockets on the back, chin, stomach, lower abdomen, hips, thighs, and knees. It can also be used to treat pseudo-gynaecomastia, the development of fatty tissue around the nipple, resulting in a “breast”-like appearance in men (due to weight gain rather than the growth of actual breast tissue as seen in genuine male gynaecomastia). Clinical data demonstrate that the application of AQUALYX is effective and safe, resulting in an increased contoured appearance.
  • WHAT HAPPENS DURING TREATMENT?
    One AQUALYX treatment typically consists of two injection sites. A local anaesthetic, lidocaine, will usually be administered before the treatment commences. The practitioner may prefer, however, to add the lidocaine anaesthetic to the AQUALYX solution so that the two are injected together. Either method should minimise discomfort during the procedure.
  • THE TREATMENT
    The time taken for a treatment session will depend on the size of the area and the indication being treated.Treatment typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes per session, and you will usually require 2-8 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. Some people may see significant results after 1 or 2 sessions.

    Treatment for fat pockets underneath the neck and chin, for example, may require 1 – 3 treatments of 2 – 3 injections, while treatment for fat pockets on the hips and thighs may require 8 treatments.

AQUALYX can be used to treat stubborn fat pockets in several areas, including the hips, thighs and knees, the area underneath the buttocks, the stomach and back and the chin and the area underneath the chin.

It is used to treat pockets of fat that are difficult to remove through diet and exercise alone. Aqualyx is NOT a weight loss solution.

The results of an AQUALYX treatment are permanent under the condition of maintaining a constant weight measurement (i.e., assuming you don`t gain weight). Once the freed fatty acids have been processed through the body’s lymphatic system, they don’t reappear.

However, the procedure is only permanent if you follow a healthy diet and exercise frequently following treatment. If you regain weight, it is likely that the fat pockets will reappear. If a healthy lifestyle is maintained, the results should be permanent.

People treated with AQUALYX will typically experience minimal side effects when compared to more invasive procedures, such as liposuction.

Side effects include some redness, swelling and tenderness in the treated area.

Some people may experience some light bruising, but this and any other side effects will usually resolve within a few days.

The manufacturers report that to date, no major side effects of AQUALYX use have been reported to them.

If you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the area treated, there are a few medical reasons why you should not undergo this treatment. However, AQUALYX is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also not recommended for those people who have been diagnosed with lipodystrophy or any other pathological conditions.
