A Safe Treatment of Localised Adiposity
Aqualyx® is a compound solution from the deoxycholate family that has been physically modified and, by creating a slow release sugar-based system, the biological half-life is reduced which results in minimal side effects. Aqualysis (or Aquaplasty) consists of injecting the solution into localised fat deposits.
HIFU is a great alternative for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
Aqualyx® has been available internationally since 2009, and over 2,000,000 vials have been used for patient treatments in 49 countries worldwide.
This treatment is suitable for the following areas:
- Saddle bags
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Abdomen
- Stomach
- Chin and double chin
- Dewlap
- Knees
- It can also be used to treat pseudo-gynocomastia in men
Aqualyx® liquefies the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system. Aqualysis™ can be used in conjunction with an ultrasound device to assist in the dissipation of Aqualyx® throughout the localised fat cells.
Specially designed long flexible cannulas are used, and specialist training is given to every doctor before they offer Aqualysis™ to their patients. Aqualyx® has been FDA approved, as a totally natural product from natural extracts with totally natural processes, and is considered as one of the most efficient non-surgical treatments for lipodialysis.
Typically, two injection spots are required for each area being treated; patients report good tolerance of the treatment and an anaesthetic solution is normally added prior to injection for greater comfort.
The treatment will be repeated between two and eight times depending on the number of small pockets of fat tissue to be reduced. The injections are repeated every three to four weeks. At this point, we have to emphasize on the fact that the greatest and by far the most efficient treatment will be achieved, when the percentage of fat on the patients’ body, is as large as possible, so that the treatment will have immense impact on the patient’s lipocells structure, and on his body in general.
After each treatment, patients can expect some redness in the area treated, which will subside after four to six days. Results are clearly obvious and observable within the first week of treatment.
