What is Aqualyx? The fat dissolving treatment
Here at KLNIK we offer a variety of solutions for body contouring including Coolsculpting, HIFU and Aqualyx non surgical fat removal. Aqualyx fat dissolving has become a popular treatment for those looking to reduce stubborn pockets of fat tissue with little down time.
Aqualyx is a aqueous solution containing the active ingredient, deoxycholate. This molecule has the ability to dissolve fat cell membranes in turn causing fat cell reduction. The fatty acids released in this process are then naturally removed by our natural metabolic processes. Deoxycholate is found naturally occurring in our liver and is therefore deemed safe and non-toxic to the body. This treatment leads to the permanent reduction of fatty tissue and so the area will not return back to its previous state.
Aqualyx is administered by injection into the desired area by a medical professional which then allows the deterioration of fat cells in a localised area. This treatment is therefore great for removing fatty areas in which you wouldn’t be able to specifically target with going to the gym and leading a healthy life style.
The number of treatments you will need will vary person to person and so it is important to have a consultation with one of our medics. Often this is decided once the first treatment has undergone and so we can see how you respond to the aqualyx treatment. The ideal candiate for Aqualyx is a person with adequate skin laxity. As the presence of fat causes the skin to stretch it is important that the laxity reappears to reduce the possibility of sagging skin once the fat has dissolved. The treatment is therefore intended for use on people between the ages of 18 to 60 years old however this can vary. Aqualyx is also to be avoided by women who are pregnant and breastfeeding and is also not recommended for people who have been diagnosed with lipodystrophy or are immunocompromised for any reason including type 1 diabetes.
