AQUALYX®
Non-Invasive Body-Contouring with Fat-Dissolving Injections
Treatment Overview
Persistent and stubborn fat areas can be quite bothersome for many of us. We are often told that there’s no quick solution, so try everything from dieting and nutrition to exercise. However, many of these efforts can leave us feeling discouraged, especially when we don’t achieve the results we desire.
It’s common for people to blame fat when they struggle to lose weight. However, our bodies naturally store fat, and it’s not always easy to get rid of it just by changing our diet or exercising more. Genetics also play a significant role in determining how much fat our bodies store and where it’s stored, making it challenging to eliminate. While men and women tend to store fat in different areas, fat-dissolving treatments can target specific problem areas. Once the fat is removed from these treated areas, it doesn’t come back!
The Science
AQUALYX® is a solution of deoxycholic acid, a compound that has been used in various fields of human medicine since its discovery. Deoxycholic acid is also present in the human body and is used to emulsify fats for absorption in the intestine.
Developed by the renowned aesthetic surgeon, the late Professor Motolese, Aqualyx® has been available internationally since 2009 and has been used extensively since then in over 49 countries worldwide to eliminate unwanted fat.
AQUALYX® injections work with your body’s natural function to break down the targeted fat cells in a controlled way, allowing your body to safely remove them through its lymphatic system. This simple and effective procedure reduces the size of fatty tissue. The treatment also contracts the skin, achieving a more streamlined, youthful appearance.

Before Your Treatment
A comprehensive consultation is conducted at the beginning of every patient’s journey. This consultation involves filling out essential paperwork, including a medical health history questionnaire, which is crucial in determining the suitability of treatment. Additionally, the consultation includes a thorough discussion to establish the patient’s treatment motivations, expectations, and desired outcomes; this helps determine the best treatment solution and an individual program that caters to each patient’s specific needs.
Booking your initial treatment appointment on the same day as the consultation may be possible in some instances. However, this will depend on the specific treatment needed. It is naturally important and advised to take some time to carefully consider our recommendations and then return at a later date for the treatment appointment.
Your Treatment
Upon arriving for your scheduled treatment appointment, your medical history will be carefully reviewed to ensure accuracy. Your practitioner will then explain the intended treatment procedure in detail to ensure it is fully understood and expected. Only after obtaining your consent to proceed will the treatment be administered. You are always welcome and encouraged to ask any questions or raise any concerns at any point during the process.
Your treatment will be conducted in one of our opulent, state-of-the-art treatment rooms. Our practitioner will escort you through each phase of the treatment, guaranteeing your comfort and safety, which are always of utmost importance. We make extensive efforts to prioritise your safety and well-being above everything else, so you can rest assured that you are in good hands.
At each treatment, as part of your medical records, before-and-after photos are taken to illustrate the progress and outcome of your treatment.
After Your Treatment
Once your treatment is complete, we will review the initial results and guide you through the aftercare plan. Before you leave the clinic, we will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions, both verbally and in writing. Additionally, we will provide you with any necessary aftercare products or accessories to achieve optimal results.
We provide touch-up cosmetics, cleansers, and moisturisers to help you refresh after treatment and resume your schedule.

Testimonial
“I’d been self-conscious about the stubborn fat under my chin for years, and no amount of diet or exercise made any difference. After trying Aqualyx injections, I began to see noticeable results within a few weeks. The procedure was quick and far more comfortable than I had expected. Genna was incredibly professional and guided me through every step, ensuring I felt informed and at ease throughout. After completing the course, the definition in my jawline was clear, and my confidence received a real boost. I finally feel good when seeing myself in photos and on video calls. I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with a similar concern.”
