Aqualyx

Suggested Sessions
3-5 times/year

What is Aqualyx?

Aqualyx is an injectable, non-surgical lipolysis treatment for localized fat and cellulite.

The material that is injected through the needle is called desozycholinic acid, which is a substance that is normally produced by the body in the liver to metabolize fat.

Application points

It can generally be applied almost all over the body, to treat local fat and cellulite, but more specifically it is applied to:

Buttocks
Double jaw
Interior of the thighs
Hands
Waist
Belly
Knees
Bosom

Procedure

Using a very thin flexible needle, Aqualyx is placed under the skin, in the area we want to improve, directly on the adipose tissue.

Deoxycholic acid adheres to the walls of fat cells, destroying their cell membrane, making them unstable.

The body's defenses remove cellular debris, while unbound adipocytes are metabolized, so they are converted into energy.

Because fatty acids are converted into energy, if proper nutrition is not followed, then the local fat will move to another part of the body.

Results

To make the results of the treatment visible, the session will need to be repeated an average of 3-5 times with an interval of three weeks.

The number of necessary repetitions is determined by the amount of local fat, the degree of correction we want and the reaction of adipose tissue.

During the period of application of the treatment and the repetitions, it is necessary:

to follow the right diet
the do gentle physical exercise

Immediately after treatment the things that should be avoided are:

the use of cosmetic creams or other products in the application area, for 12 hours.
exposure to heat sources (eg sunbathing, sauna) for 24 hours.
Intense physical exercise for the next 7 days

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Aqualyx treatment painful?

We can say that this is an almost painless treatment, since the adipose tissue does not show aesthetics. In addition, the Aqualyx material itself contains a local anesthetic so the pain is not a concern for the application of the treatment.

Are there any side effects?

At the end of the procedure, the application area becomes red and there is a possibility of slight swelling.

As with all injectable treatments using a subcutaneous needle, a very small hematoma may appear at the point of entry.

The above are expected side effects, but they subside within a few days so there is no cause for concern.
