Aqualyx injections that break down pockets of fat diet and exercise will not shift, using a compound your body already produces.
“My double chin had been there regardless of my weight. Three sessions and it is gone.”
Some fat does not respond to diet or exercise because of where it sits, not how much of it there is. That is the fat this treats.
Aqualyx is a fat dissolving treatment that targets localised areas of stubborn fat. It contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is involved in breaking down dietary fat. Injected directly into a pocket of fat, it does the same job locally.
The injection causes the walls of the fat cells to break down. The contents are then processed and eliminated by the body through its normal metabolic routes over the following weeks, which is why the result appears gradually rather than immediately.
Common areas treated include the chin, around the waistline, the stomach, the hips and the thighs. It is a treatment for defined, localised pockets rather than for general weight reduction, and that distinction is the single most important thing to understand before booking.
Fat dissolving reduces specific pockets of fat in specific places. It is not a route to general weight loss and it will not produce the result you want if that is what you are hoping for.
We say this plainly at consultation. Where someone's goal is overall weight reduction, we will tell them this is the wrong treatment rather than sell a course that cannot deliver what they came in for.
Book nowPre-treatment consultation is essential here. We assess the area, confirm the fat is localised and suitable, discuss realistic outcomes and the number of sessions likely to be needed, and give you a firm price.
The area should be clean and makeup free. A fine needle is used to inject Aqualyx directly into the fat. Some patients feel a stinging or burning sensation during the injection, which passes. Treatment takes 20 to 60 minutes depending on the area.
Swelling and tenderness in the treated area is expected and can last several days. Results develop gradually over the following weeks as the body eliminates the broken-down fat. We advise leaving 48 hours before flying.
Fat dissolving suits defined pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise, in someone who is otherwise at a stable weight.
If your goal is general weight loss rather than reduction of a specific pocket, this is not the right treatment and we will tell you so at consultation.
Fat dissolving is priced at consultation because the cost depends on the treatment area and the number of vials required. We will give you a firm total before you commit to anything.

Every treatment is carried out in our Save Face accredited clinic on New Cavendish Street, five minutes from Oxford Street, by a medically qualified team.
This varies depending on the amount of fat being treated, the area, your metabolism and lifestyle. Two to three treatments is typical, and we will give you a realistic estimate at consultation.
Fat dissolving is a non-invasive procedure and pain varies between individuals. The majority experience only a little discomfort throughout, though some feel a stinging or burning sensation during the injection itself.
Aqualyx is regarded as safe in the hands of a trained and knowledgeable practitioner. Deoxycholic acid is an organic compound already present in the body that aids in the breakdown and elimination of fat.
