What is Fat Dissolving?
Fat dissolving involves the use of injectable treatments (e.g., AQUALYX™) to target and reduce stubborn subcutaneous fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. This process is also known as injection lipolysis, lipotherapy, or intralipotherapy. The active substance, deoxycholic acid, is a bile salt that naturally occurs in the human body and aids in fat digestion
How do Fat Dissolving Injections Work
Targeting the Area: AQUALYX™ is carefully injected just under the skin using a fine, flexible cannula into the area of stubborn fat that diet and exercise haven’t shifted.
Breaking Down the Fat: Once injected, AQUALYX™ begins to work by breaking down the walls of the fat cells. This process causes the fat cells to release their contents.
Natural Elimination: The released fat is then gradually removed by your body’s natural processes—mainly through your lymphatic system and liver.
Boosting Metabolism: The treatment also stimulates a mild increase in local metabolism, helping the area process fat more efficiently as part of the natural healing response.
Gradual, Long-Lasting Results: Over the following weeks, you’ll start to see the treated area become more contoured. Since the fat cells are destroyed, they can’t store fat again—making the results long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle.
Product Administered
The product we use is AQUALYX™ — a cutting-edge, medically developed solution designed specifically for targeted fat reduction. This biocompatible and biodegradable injectable is trusted by professionals worldwide for its safety, effectiveness, and long-lasting results.
The key ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring compound in the body that helps break down fat. AQUALYX™ harnesses this powerful compound to dissolve stubborn fat cells, which are then naturally flushed out through your body's metabolic processes.
What sets AQUALYX™ apart is its advanced sugar-based slow-release system, which helps minimise side effects while enhancing comfort and results. It also contains numbing agents, ensuring that the procedure is virtually pain-free for most patients.
If you're looking for a non-surgical, clinically backed solution to reshape and refine areas resistant to diet and exercise, AQUALYX™ offers a reliable and sophisticated option with results you can see and feel.
Small areas (e.g., chin, knees): Typically require 1 x 8ml vial per session.
Large areas (e.g., abdomen, thighs, hips): May require 3–4 x 8ml vials per session, depending on the area's size and fat volume.
The exact number of vials and sessions required can vary based on individual goals and the practitioner's assessment. A consultation with a qualified professional will provide a tailored treatment plan.
Timeline and Expected results
Aqualyx fat dissolving injections work gradually. It usually takes about 4 to 8 weeks for the body to break down and flush out the treated fat, with full results becoming visible around 6 to 8 weeks after your final session. Most people need 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, to get the best outcome. Once the fat cells are removed, they don’t come back, so the results are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Drinking plenty of water, eating well, and taking before and after photos can help support the process and show your progress.
