Aqualyx is a fat-dissolving injection treatment that targets and eliminates stubborn fat cells in specific areas of the body. It’s not a weight loss solution but rather a body contouring procedure.
Aqualyx works by injecting a solution containing deoxycholic acid (a naturally occurring substance that helps the body metabolize fat) into the targeted area, which disrupts and destroys fat cells, and the body then naturally eliminates them through the lymphatic system.
Here's a more detailed explanation
Deoxycholic acid, a key component of Aqualyx, is injected into the fat cells, causing them to break down and be eliminated by the body.
Aqualyx is commonly used to treat stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise in areas like the chin, abdomen, thighs, and knees.
The results are generally permanent, as the destroyed fat cells are not able to return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prevent the remaining fat cells from growing and potentially requiring further treatment.
The procedure is generally non-surgical and involves a series of injections, usually with minimal downtime and discomfort.
Aqualyx is suitable for individuals with good skin elasticity and those seeking to reduce small to medium-sized fat deposits.
Aqualyx is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those with skin infections.
Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and bruising, which typically subside within a few days.
