Aqualyx® liquefies the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

The number of Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections sessions needed depends on your own unique situation. Most patients generally need to repeat the treatment between two to six times, with three to four weeks between sessions. 

Aqualyx is perfect for anyone wanting to remove small pockets of fat under the chin or specific areas of the body.

The results of an Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections treatment are permanent as long as you maintain a constant weight measurement i.e. you eat healthily, exercise regularly, and do not gain weight.

Developed by renowned aesthetic surgeon the late Professor Motolese, Aqualyx® has been available internationally since 2009, and over 2,000,000 vials have been used for patient treatments in 49 countries worldwide.

Professor Motolose developed a technique, for the treatment known as ‘Aqualysis ™’ or ‘Aquaplasty™’ and a precise protocol is followed. Aqualysis™ or Aquaplasty™ consists of depositing the solution into localised areas of fat such as saddle bags, thighs, stomachs, chins and knees. It can also be used to treat pseudo-gynocomastia in men.

The rival fat dissolving injection to Aqualyx is called Kybella.
Kybella UK is not yet approved for use in the UK and it is commonly argued that Aqualyx is an equally effective if not better treatment for double chin removal without going under the knife.
