Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections – Everything You Need To Know

Fat Dissolving Injections

Fat dissolving injections sound too good to be true, don’t they? But they’re not! If, despite healthy eating and regular exercise, you still struggle with stubborn areas of fat, then Aqualyx fat dissolving injections can be what you need to achieve your ideal figure. 

In this tell-all blog, we look in detail at what fat dissolving injections are, how they feel and most importantly – if they really work.

What Are Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections?

Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical method of dispersing excess fat cells. Until recently, the only option for getting rid of hard-to-shift fat was to undergo liposuction, a painful and invasive surgery that carries a higher risk of complications. 

Thankfully, the development of fat dissolving injections means that you can refine your figure without the need for surgery and long recovery times.

The injections are made from a plant compound solution that features deoxycholic acid, a bile acid that plays an essential role in fat digestion. When injected, the treatment destabilises your fat cells by destroying the fat cell membranes. This causes them to liquefy, where they are removed by your lymphatic system.

Where Can Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Treat?

Fat dissolving injections work best on small areas that ‘hold on’ to pockets of fat. The most successfully treated areas include;

  • Chin
    Excess fat under your chin can change the appearance of your whole face. Often called a ‘double chin’ the fat that collects here can be very hard to lose, even with diet and exercise.
  • Abdomen
    Many people carry a little additional padding around their middle. The fat can collect in a ‘pouch’ that makes fitting in your clothes uncomfortable and can hinder your exercise effort.
  • Thighs
    ‘Saddlebags’ are pockets of fat that sit on the outside of your thighs. Though calorie-rich diets can lead to saddlebags, they are also linked to the hormone estrogen, so even with a balanced diet, you can still struggle with extra fat on your legs. 
  • Arms
    Your upper arms can carry fat, and that can jiggle when you lift your arms, wave or move around. Sometimes called ‘bingo wings’, these fatty deposits can make you feel more self-conscious when wearing short sleeves.

While these are the most commonly addressed areas, it’s not an exhaustive list. Aqualyx fat dissolving injections are incredibly effective at reducing fat cells in a focused zone – so if you have concerns about another area, such as the buttocks, hips or back, then be assured, the injections can help!

As you can see from these before and after photos below, the areas treated are varied and the difference is noticeable.

Are Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Safe?

Fat dissolving injections are perfectly safe for the majority of patients when administered by qualified professionals like us at Elite Aesthetics. Because the solution kickstarts a natural process, you are unlikely to suffer unexpected side effects. 

What Can I Expect From The Procedure?

The procedure is very simple; following your consultation, you will visit the clinic for your fat dissolving injections. The Aqualyx is administered alongside an anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort, as the solution is injected fairly deeply into the fat pocket. Depending on the size of the area you’re treating, your appointment should take between 30 minutes to an hour (Aqualyx has been called the ‘lunchtime lipo’!).

You may experience a little sensitivity and redness at the injection site, but this will pass in a couple of hours. In the days after your treatment, you will find that the area will swell a little – this is an important part of the fat dissolving process. The fat cells are being broken down, and your body responds by sending white blood cells to get rid of the debris. This should last a couple of days, and as that subsides you will start to see your new, more contoured figure. 

How Much Do Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Cost?

Aqualyx is a very affordable treatment, particularly when you consider the outcome is the same as liposuction – and that can cost up to £6000! Fat dissolving injections are often given over a course of treatment, so the cost does depend on how many sessions you have. As a guide, a single treatment of Aqualyx usually costs £350, with a course of 3 sessions usually being optimal.

How Long Do Results Last?

The fat cells are permanently removed, but it’s important to note that these cells can regenerate if a regime of good diet and exercise isn’t followed. 

We recommend a course of treatment for a more effective result, depending on which area you are having treated and your desired outcome. Dr Shirin will be able to advise you on this during your consultation.

Will Fat Dissolving Injections Help Me Lose Weight?

While fat dissolving injections do help you to shed excess fat, they are not suitable as a weight loss plan. Although the injections rid your body of fat cells, it’s done to contour or shape the area rather than as a weight management tool.

Read How I Improved My Lichen Sclerosus

Had a consultation with Elite yesterday, I must say I was a bit nervous, but Dr Shirin was so friendly and helpful.
I was given lots of advice and was given treatment options that were within my budget.
A few weeks after the P Shot I've really started to see a difference and have gained my confidence back.

Thank You!

Elite is an outstanding professional clinic with high standard treatments. All the staff members are friendly and offer you honest opinions when it comes to products and treatments. This is a welcoming clinic that I can 100% recommend. Treatments are spoken through and explained in detail, also aftercare. I have been going nearly a year now and am happy with all the treatments I’ve had, wouldn't go anywhere else. The Bocox treatment started to work within a few days, which I was surprised about. So glad I went to Elite for treatment.

Thank you Dr Shirin, the O Shot has really helped me with my Lichen Sclerosus. I'd heard about the treatment on the LS Facebook Groups and message a few people that had treatment with Dr Shirin. I was like many in the group who had run out of treatment options and using creams on a daily basis. I have to say a few months after treatment, I can see a real positive change and I'm hoping my LS will continue to improve. Dr Shirin did say that I might have to have a second treatment given how severe my case is.

Hi, Alex here,Just had my Lichen treatment today with Dr Shirin,The whole team at elite are very friendly, comforting and understanding, and did everything they could to give me a wonderful and welcoming experience. They are all so kind, friendly and knowledgeable, world experts at what they do. I am lucky to have them near London. They are also super responsive on the phone and email, so I know they care about thier patients, and I'm very well taken care of, (as with other clinics I have been to, its often difficult to get them to respond to questions), but this clinic is the most responsive I have ever seen!This is a beautiful and wonderful place and I highly recommend it, and I will be recommending it to all my friends as well. They definitely deserve the super high reviews they are getting, so I'm happy to add another one! A Big thank you from me and my family for all you have done for us during this journey!

Yesterday I had a 'body sculpt' session, to help lymphatic drainage. I was zipped into a suit up to my waist. This massaged and lightly squeezed my feet, ankles, calves, thighs and abdomen. I was breathing oxygen rich air via nasal tubes. It was very relaxing and I slept really well last night. Thank you Elite Aesthetics.
