Aqualyx
Fat dissolving is a cosmetic treatment that targets specific areas of the body where stubborn fat pockets are resistant to diet and exercise. These treatments help sculpt and contour the body, resulting in a more toned and shapely appearance.
How do fat dissolving injections work?
Aqualyx, a water-based solution, is injected into the fatty tissue beneath the skin. It surrounds and destroys fat cells, which are then safely eliminated by the body as waste.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Common areas for fat dissolving treatments include the chin, stomach, abdomen, hips, saddlebags, thighs and arms.
The Treatment Process
At Apex Clinic, a thorough consultation is conducted before each procedure to understand your goals and concerns. During this consultation, our pharmacist will review your medical history to determine if the treatment is suitable for you. Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleansed using antimicrobial solution to minimise the risk of infection.
The treatment involves a series of injections into the targeted area. The number of injections and sessions required will vary based on the individual. Typically, the treatment is performed over two to three sessions, spaced six to eight weeks apart.
What are the side effects?
Post-treatment, swelling and redness may occur in the treated area for two to six weeks, subsiding on their own. Other potential side effects include bruising, itching and numbness in the treatment area. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
When can I expect to see results?
Results are generally noticeable between two to four weeks after treatment and are permanent. However, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is crucial to prevent the remaining fat cells from increasing in size.
