It’s a highly effective technique for anyone who has small, stubborn pockets of fat on the body or face. It’s not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, nor people who are looking to eliminate large areas of weight/fat or those with loose skin – in such cases tummy tucks, arm/thigh lifts and liposuction are more effective solutions.

Aqualyx® injections consist of a water based solution containing deoxycholic acid, which is similar to a substance produced by the body in the gut.

As the procedure uses very fine needles, it’s minimally invasive, virtually pain-free and recovery time is minimal.

Aqualyx is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. As the procedure uses very fine needles, it’s minimally invasive, virtually pain-free, recovery time is minimal and the results are apparent in just a few weeks.

Treatments start from £250.

During your first consultation Mr Ahmad assesses you and the areas of concern. Mr Ahmad then discusses treatment options and gives his suggestions regarding the best options available. Risks and benefits are discussed and when you have completely understood and agreed, Mr Ahmad delivers the treatment.

Each session takes between 30-40 minutes. For the most effective results 2-8 sessions are required, depending on the volume of fat and size of focus area.

Following treatment there may be mild swelling, itching and bruising, but these should subside within five days.

A mild anesthetic is usually mixed into the Aqualyx® solution and administered at the same time as the treatment. However, the procedure is administered using very fine needles, so there should be minimal discomfort

If needed, top up injections are offered two to four weeks after the procedure.

You can wear makeup immediately after the treatment.

The longevity varies from person to person, if a healthy weight is maintained it will last but if there is an increase in weight it will increase fat everywhere.
