Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections in Droitwich & Bromsgrove
About Aqualyx Fat Dissolving
Sometimes all the diet and exercise in the world doesn't seem to remove fat in certain areas like the chin, hips and lower abdomen. This is where fat dissolving injections are ideal. They are not designed as a weight loss aid but to treat these stubborn pockets of fat that do not go despite weight loss.
At The Confidence Clinic we offer Aqualyx fat dissolving treatments.
What is Aqualyx?
Aqualyx are injectable compounds of the active ingredient deoxycholic acid and are also often referred to as Motolese’s Solution. They are state of the art injectable solutions designed to target those localised pockets of fat. Once injected the solution disrupts the fat cells and breaks them down; they are then excreted through the lymphatic system. Deoxycholic acid normally emulsifies dietary fats in the intestine and, when injected subcutaneously, it disrupts and destroys fat cells in that tissue.
Areas That Can Be Treated
- Double chin
- Upper abdomen
- Lower abdomen
- Flank
- Arms
- Inner thighs
- Back / bra roll
- Knees
- Under-buttock roll
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Depending on the area and the amount of fat involved you may need 1–4 treatments (up to a maximum of 8).
Once the unwanted fat has been dissolved, the effect is thought to be permanent. However, if you gain weight following the procedure, results may diminish.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Ideal for most people aged 18–60 with good skin elasticity (important so skin does not appear saggy after treatment). It is not suitable for the obese patient or anyone currently on a weight loss journey.
You should not receive Aqualyx if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have conditions that affect fat processing in your body
- Have an autoimmune disease
- Have localised skin infections
What Happens at Your Appointment?
- Initial consultation to discuss your goals; suitability is assessed
- Clinical photographs taken for your records
- Treatment area cleaned and marked
- Solution is mixed with lidocaine to keep the procedure comfortable
- Series of small injections into the area
- Treatment lasts around 20–30 minutes depending on the area treated
- A review appointment is arranged before you leave
What to Expect After Treatment
- Mild redness, soreness or bruising for a few days is possible
- Expect some degree of swelling for up to a week — this is part of the process as fat cells are expanded before breakdown
Aftercare Advice
- Avoid Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain to reduce bruising; Paracetamol is acceptable
- Intermittent cooling with ice (5 minutes post-procedure) can help
- A compression garment may be worn for 2–5 days to aid lymphatic drainage and improve results
- Nodules are not uncommon and can last up to a month; they usually disappear without intervention, but please contact us if anything seems unusual
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Aqualyx a weight-loss treatment?
No. It targets small, stubborn fat pockets that persist despite healthy diet and exercise.
How many sessions will I need?
Most areas need 1–4 sessions spaced several weeks apart (up to a maximum of 8 based on assessment).
Is the result permanent?
Destroyed fat cells don’t return, so results are considered long-lasting. Significant weight gain can soften the outcome over time.
What’s the downtime like?
Expect swelling and tenderness for a few days (sometimes up to a week). Most clients resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
Will the skin look loose afterwards?
Good skin elasticity helps prevent laxity. We’ll assess this during your consultation and discuss options if needed.
