How Fat dissolving works

Aqualyx is an injectable solution designed to target and dissolve localised fat deposits. The active ingredient, desoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. When Aqualyx is injected into specific areas, it disrupts the fat cell membranes, leading to the elimination of fats through the body’s lymphatic system. The treatment is typically recommended for areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, and under the chin. Patients may benefit from a series of sessions to achieve optimal results, and the procedure is generally considered minimally invasive with a reduced recovery time.

Areas of the body where Fat Dissolving can be used

Fat dissolving treatments can be effectively used in various areas of the body, including the submental area, commonly referred to as the double chin, which often concerns individuals seeking a more defined jawline. Additionally, these treatments are suitable for love handles, the abdomen, and the inner and outer thighs, where stubborn pockets of fat commonly accumulate. Other areas include the upper arms and the back, particularly around the bra line, where excess fat can create unwanted bulges. By targeting these areas, individuals can achieve a more contoured appearance, complementing their overall aesthetic goals.

Treatment Information.

  • Fat dissolving treatments can be suitable for adults who are near their ideal weight but struggle with specific areas of stubborn fat. Ideal candidates typically have a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. It is important that individuals do not have underlying health issues or conditions that may contraindicate the procedure, such as certain autoimmune diseases or skin conditions. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential to determine if fat dissolving treatments are appropriate based on individual goals and medical history.

  • Fat dissolving treatments typically require several weeks to become fully evident. While some individuals may notice initial changes within a few days following the procedure, the most significant results usually manifest between three to six weeks after treatment. This timeframe allows the body to metabolise and eliminate the targeted fat cells gradually. For optimal outcomes, a series of sessions may be recommended, and achieving lasting effects can depend on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of fat being treated.

  • The results from fat dissolving treatments can typically last for several months to a few years, depending on various factors such as the individual's metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific areas treated. While the procedure effectively reduces fat cells in targeted areas, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential for prolonging the results. As the body naturally processes and eliminates the dissolved fat, it's important to note that significant weight gain can lead to the development of new fat cells, potentially diminishing the results over time. Regular follow-up treatments may be advisable to sustain the desired outcome.

  • During your fat dissolving treatment, you can expect a straightforward procedure designed to target stubborn areas of fat. The treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and assess the areas to be treated. A local anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort. The practitioner will then inject the solution into the specific areas, which may lead to sensations of mild burning or stinging. Following the treatment, it's common to experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the area, which typically subsides within a few days. Results will gradually become evident over the following weeks as the body metabolises the dissolved fat, with optimal effects usually seen after a few sessions.

  • Before undergoing fat dissolving treatments, it is essential to follow specific pre-treatment advice to ensure optimal results and minimise potential complications. Patients should avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, for at least a week prior to the procedure, as these can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. Staying well-hydrated can also support the body's recovery process. Additionally, it is advisable to discuss any existing medical conditions or concerns with your practitioner, as this information is crucial in tailoring the treatment to your needs. Ensuring clear communication regarding your aesthetic goals will help achieve the best possible outcome.

  • After undergoing fat dissolving procedures, it is essential to follow proper aftercare to ensure optimal results and minimise complications. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive physical activity for at least 48 hours post-treatment to allow your body to heal. Keeping the treated area clean and dry is important; gently cleanse the skin and avoid any harsh products or scrubbing. Hydration plays a crucial role, so drink plenty of water to aid your body’s natural processes. Applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling or bruising, while avoiding hot baths and saunas for a week is advisable. Lastly, monitor the treatment area for any unusual changes and consult your practitioner if any concerns arise.
