WHAT IS AQUALYX?

Aqualyx is a non-surgical solution that can help minimize and remove stubborn pockets of fat. If you exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet but still have some areas of fat that won’t go away, Aqualyx may be a good option for you.

This technique, known as Aqualysis or Aquaplasty, involves injecting the solution into localized fat deposits. Aqualyx treatment consists of phosphatidylcholine – a natural substance which, when given in higher doses, can cause the destruction of fat cells.

WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY CAN BE TREATED?

Aqualyx can be used on various areas of the body in order to dissolve any unwanted fat deposits. These areas include:

  • Upper limbs – around the triceps
  • Folds on the back (below the ribs)
  • Belly
  • Loins
  • Breeches
  • Outer buttocks region
  • The inner side of thighs
  • The inner side of knee
  • Double chin / Jaw contouring

Aqualyx can also be used for the following:

  • -To help those who go to the gym regularly but can’t seem to get rid of the last bit of fat to define their six-pack.
  • -For people with lipomas, Aqualyx can be injected into them.
  • -For people with a buffalo hump, Aqualyx can be used to reduce its size.
  • -People who have uneven lumps of fat after other treatments, such as Vaser or liposuction, can have smoothness restored with Aqualyx.

Treatment for pockets of fat underneath the neck and chin, for example, may require 1 – 3 treatments of 2 – 3 injections, while treatment for fat pockets on the hips and thighs may require 8 treatments.

WHICH CLIENTS ARE MOST SUITABLE FOR AQUALYX?

We are looking for clients who are close to their ideal body weight but have isolated areas of stubborn fat deposition. These can be genetically predetermined and can prove very difficult to get rid of in other ways. The ideal client must be able to pinch at least 1.5cm of fat for an area to be suitable for treatment. Clients who have lost considerable weight often have loose skin rather than significant fat deposits. If we feel this is the case for you then we will suggest Aqualyx is not appropriate for you.
