- Fat Dissolving — Aqualyx
✨ Melt away stubborn fat pockets without surgery — permanent results that last as long as you keep your weight stable.
How it works:
Aqualyx contains a modified bile acid that breaks down fat cell walls, letting your body flush the released fat through your lymphatic system naturally.
Who it's for:
- You have pinchable fat pockets that won't shift with diet or exercise
- You're near your ideal weight with good skin elasticity
- You want gradual, natural-looking contouring without surgery
The benefits:
- Permanently destroys treated fat cells — they don't grow back
- Targets exactly where you want it: chin, stomach, thighs, arms, back, hips
- No general anaesthetic, no scars, no overnight stay
- Results keep improving for weeks after each session
- Maintains your shape if your weight stays stable
What's included:
- Full consultation to map your treatment areas and check skin quality
- Topical numbing cream for comfort
- Precise grid-pattern injections using fine needles or cannulas
- Detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up support
- Optional compression garment advice for certain areas
What to expect:
- Usually 2 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart
- First visible changes around 4 to 6 weeks
- Best results 8 to 12 weeks after your final session
- Results last indefinitely with stable weight
💡 The swelling you see afterwards is the treatment working — it's your immune system clearing the broken-down fat cells.
Common questions
Is there any downtime?
You'll usually have visible swelling and redness for 2 to 7 days, sometimes with small bruises and tender lumps under the skin. Most people manage this with loose clothing and can get on with normal activities, though you'll want to avoid anything that raises your body temperature for the first couple of days.
Does it hurt?
You'll feel warmth and a stinging sensation as the product goes in — it's not painless, but it's quick and we use numbing cream beforehand to take the edge off. Most people find it quite manageable, especially since the actual injecting part is usually under 15 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need 2 to 8 sessions depending on the size of the area and how much fat there is, spaced 4 weeks apart to let your body clear the dissolved fat between visits. If you've got a wedding, holiday, or big event coming up, it's worth starting at least 12 weeks beforehand so everything has time to settle and look its best.
How long do the results last?
You'll usually start noticing a difference around 4 to 6 weeks after your first session, with the best results showing 8 to 12 weeks after you finish your full course. The results are essentially permanent — destroyed fat cells don't grow back — though remaining cells can expand if you gain significant weight.
Are there any side effects?
It's completely normal to have redness, swelling, tenderness, and some bruising at the injection sites for several days afterwards. You might also feel small firm lumps under the skin, some warmth, and occasional itching — these usually settle on their own over a few weeks. Rarely, uneven results, prolonged lumps, or infection can occur, which is why proper technique and aftercare matter.
Before your treatment
- Drink plenty of water for 48 hours before — well-hydrated tissue responds better
- Avoid alcohol for 48 hours — it thins blood and increases bruising
- Stop anti-inflammatory medication 1 week before if medically safe — check with your GP
- Eat normally on the day — don't arrive hungry
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to treatment areas
- Remove makeup if your face or neck is being treated
Aftercare
- Expect noticeable swelling for 3 to 7 days — this means the treatment is active
- Avoid alcohol for 48 hours to support healing
- No strenuous exercise, gyms, or heat for 48 hours
- Skip hot baths, saunas, and swimming for 1 week
- Drink 2 to 3 litres of water daily for 1 week to flush released fat
- Gentle massage of treated areas helps even results once tenderness settles
- Small lumps under the skin are normal and soften over 4 to 6 weeks
Who it isn’t suitable for
- Do not book if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Under 18 or over 60 years old
- Any active infection or inflammation where you want treatment
- Diabetes with poor wound healing or circulation problems
- Severe liver or kidney disease
- Autoimmune conditions such as scleroderma or lupus
- Bleeding disorders or if you take blood-thinning medication
- Known allergy to bile acids or deoxycholate
- Significant skin laxity or loose overlying skin in the treatment area
