Fat dissolving
Aqualyx®, developed for the non-surgical reduction of localised fat under the skin is a gel-based aqueous solution, which dissolves fat and is biocompatible and biodegradable. Aqualyx® was developed by Professor Pasquale Motolese, Vice President of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Surgery and Medicine. Aqualyx was presented at the Aesthetic Medical International Congress in Milan in 2004 and it is now available exclusively in the UK and Ireland
What is Aqualyx® used for?
It used for Aqualysis or Aquaplasty treatment to reduce localised, stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the chin, stomach, outer and inner thighs, hips, knees etc.
How quickly will I see results? A reduction in fat deposits can usually be seen after just one treatment, however between three and eight sessions are required to see the optimal effect.
The speed at which results are seen will vary depending on the stability of the cell membranes; younger patients are more likely to results after a longer period. Results may vary from client to client and case by age.
Who is the treatment suitable for? It is suitable for clients who do not want the more invasive liposuction or laser lipo treatments, who do not have large amounts of fat to remove and who are over 18 years and under 60 years of age. The treatment is not suitable for pregnant or lactating women or those with a pathological condition.
Is the treatment suitable for overweight patients as a weight loss method? No, Aqualyx® and Aqualysis are aimed at reducing stubborn pockets of fat.
