Aqualyx is an injectable treatment designed to target and reduce localised fat deposits in various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, and arms. The procedure involves the use of a deoxycholic acid solution, which works by breaking down fat cell membranes, leading to their natural elimination from the body. It is typically administered through a series of small injections beneath the skin, with results becoming more apparent over several weeks. Aqualyx is considered a non-surgical alternative for body contouring.

How it works
Aqualyx is an injectable solution containing sodium deoxycholate that targets localised fat deposits. It works by disrupting fat cell membranes, resulting in fat cell dissolution and subsequent removal by the body’s lymphatic system. The purpose is non-surgical fat reduction, offering a less invasive alternative to liposuction.
Ideal candidates
Aqualyx treatment is ideal for healthy adults with localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be at or near their ideal weight. This treatment effectively addresses concerns regarding stubborn fat areas, enhancing body contour and promoting a slimmer appearance.
Treatment variations
Aqualyx offers various formulations tailored for specific treatment areas and aesthetic objectives. Your practitioner will assess your individual needs, taking into account the area to be treated and your desired results, to recommend the most suitable type of Aqualyx, ensuring a personalised approach to your body contouring goals.
Important considerations
Aqualyx treatments can be safe when administered by a qualified professional in a clinical setting. It is crucial to attend a consultation to assess your suitability and discuss any health conditions. Safety considerations include understanding potential side effects and following pre-treatment guidelines. Always choose a reputable clinic to ensure a safe and effective procedure.

Aqualyx risks and side effects
Understand potential side effects like swelling, bruising, or asymmetry. Seek prompt care for severe pain, discoloration, or worsening symptoms.
1. Swelling and Bruising
Post-treatment swelling and bruising are common side effects, typically resolving within a few days. They may cause temporary discomfort and affect the aesthetic appearance during the healing process.
2. Nodules or Lumps
Some patients may develop nodules or lumps at the injection site. These are usually benign and can diminish over time but may occasionally require additional treatment or massage for resolution.
3. Infection
Although rare, there is a potential risk of infection following Aqualyx treatment. Symptoms may include increased pain, redness, and pus. Immediate medical attention will be necessary to manage the infection effectively.
4. Skin Discolouration
Transient skin discolouration can occur after the procedure, presenting as redness or hyperpigmentation around the treatment area. This usually resolves spontaneously, but in some cases, it may persist longer.
5. Allergic Reaction
Though infrequent, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to Aqualyx, manifesting as itching, rash, or swelling. Immediate medical assessment is essential to address severe allergic responses.
Recovery process
Recovery timeline
After Aqualyx treatment, swelling and bruising may occur, peaking within 48 hours and subsiding over the following week. Light physical activity can be resumed after 48 hours, while more strenuous exercise should be avoided for one to two weeks. Final results typically become visible after four to six weeks as the body eliminates the fat.
Aftercare Instructions
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
- Refrain from alcohol and smoking for at least one week.
- Keep the treated area clean and dry.
- Use cold compresses to reduce swelling.
- Stay hydrated and follow a balanced diet.
- Consult your practitioner for any unusual symptoms.
Week 1
During the first week post-Aqualyx treatment, patients can expect some swelling and bruising as the body reacts. Results typically begin to improve gradually, with noticeable changes becoming apparent after a few weeks.
Week 2
In the second week post-Aqualyx treatment, patients may notice a reduction in swelling and some initial contouring results. Final results will continue to improve over the following weeks as the body processes the treated area.
Months 1–6+
Patients can expect gradual fat reduction over 1-3 months post-Aqualyx treatment, with optimal results typically visible around 12 weeks. Changes may include initial swelling followed by smoother contours as tissue heals and fat continues to be metabolised.
Questions about Aqualyx
All your questions answered.
Aqualyx results typically last for several months, often up to a year, depending on factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated. To maintain optimal results, some clients may benefit from follow-up or maintenance treatments. Individual responses can vary, so consulting with your practitioner is essential to determine the best approach for your unique situation.
The Aqualyx procedure typically involves minimal discomfort. Most patients report only mild pain or a slight burning sensation during the injection. Practitioners often use topical numbing creams and may offer local anaesthetic to enhance comfort. Skilled practitioners ensure a supportive environment, addressing any concerns, and guiding patients through the process to help maintain a relaxed experience.
After Aqualyx treatment, most patients can resume normal activities immediately. However, it's common to experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. Makeup can generally be applied the following day, but it's advisable to wait until any swelling has diminished for the best results. Always follow your practitioner’s specific aftercare advice.
Aqualyx is suitable for adults seeking to target localised fat deposits, particularly those near healthy body weight. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune disorders or skin infections. A thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential to assess eligibility, discuss expectations, and ensure safety throughout the treatment process.
