Fat Dissolving Injections in Surrey
Effectively dissolve stubborn areas of fat and reduce fat deposits in problem areas with Aqualyx
Aqualyx fat dissolving injections work very well in dissolving stubborn areas of fat – which means we can reduce fat deposits in any problem area you might have.
What are fat dissolving injections?
How do Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections work?
Clinical studies have shown that when correctly injected into the regional adipose (fatty) tissue, Aqualyx fat-reducing injections dissolve fat cells. The product was developed and patented by a renowned aesthetic surgeon, Professor Pasquale Motolese.
The main component of Aqualyx is Deoxycholic acid (DC), a secondary bile acid naturally present in the body. When this is injected into the subcutaneous layer, it destabilises the fat cell membranes and causes the permanent dissolution of fat cells. A reduction in fat deposits becomes visible within three to four weeks, as the fat cells are released and removed naturally via the lymphatic system through your urine.
Treatment Summary
Number of treatments needed:
Typically, Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections must be repeated between two to five times, depending on the fat deposits, chosen area, and how well your body responds to each treatment. We recommend that Aqualyx injections be repeated every three to four weeks until you achieve maximum fat loss in the treated area.
Treatment Duration:
The treatment duration can last for 5-7 months.
Female patients in the reproductive age group will be needed to have monthly consultation, where monthly pregnancy test will be done, and twice monthly blood test would be done prior to re-prescribing. Female patients in the reproductive age group will only be given 30 days of medicine during each prescription.
For male patients, after starting the treatment consultations will be done every 2 monthly and blood test repeated every 3 monthly. Male patients will be given 60 days of medicine during each prescription.
Side Effects:
After each treatment, you can expect some mild swelling, bruising, redness, itchiness, and tenderness in the treated area. These symptoms are common and will subside after three to six days. Small lumps may also form as the fat cells dissolve, but these will generally dissipate within two weeks.
Fat dissolving injections are very safe, although rare complications, such as infections and nerve damage, are possible. These are far more likely to occur when Aqualyx is not administered correctly by a qualified doctor or surgeon.
