Aqualyx fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical solution to minimise and remove stubborn localised pockets of fat from the body. It is ideal for those who exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet but have pockets of fat that won’t shift, even with focused exercise. This is a new treatment which helps to dissolve body fat and considered to be an effective alternative to liposuction. The treatment involves injections that “break down cells that you then pass through urine”. Aqualyx is licensed in the UK for localised or spot removal of fat from areas such as the chin, knees, hips, thighs or under the buttocks.

How does Aqualyx work?
The body has its own system in place for burning excess bodyweight. Acidic bile is naturally produced by the liver to aid in the process of breaking down fat.
Aqualyx uses a synthetic form of acid (deoxycholic acid) from plant-based ingredients and is delivered to the fatty areas through needle injection. The acid works to eliminate fat by breaking down the structure of the fat cells. Once broken down fat cells are dissolved or liquified, which will then escape the cell and the fatty liquid can be easily burned as the body metabolises it.
