How does Aqualyx work?
Aqualyx® is a compound solution from the deoxycholate family that has been physically modified and, by creating a slow release sugar-based system, the biological half-life is reduced which results in minimal side effects.
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. Aqualyx® liquefies the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.
Aqualysis™ can be used in conjunction with alternative treatments to assist in the dissipation of Aqualyx® throughout the localised fat cells.
What are the benefits of Aqualyx?
Aqualyx is a safe, effective fat dissolving treatment which is effective in removing stubborn areas of fat, resistant to exercise.
Aqualyx can produce permanent results if you follow a healthy lifestyle.
Aqualyx can treat a bunch of different areas, including on and around the chin, chest, abdomen and thighs.
It provides body contouring, tightening & works fantastically with other body sculpting treatments, such as HIFU & Radio frequency.
This treatment starts to work immediately upon injection, and is a great alternative to more invasive methods of fat loss such as liposuction.
STEPS
Treatment - Step by Step
No-obligation Initial Consultation
We understand that undergoing new treatments can be a scary process- especially when needles are involved. For this reason, we always offer a no-obligation complimentary initial consultation with Dr Naeem. The main aim of the consultation is the following:
1) To allow the patient to get as much information about the treatment, including how it works, possible risks, side-effects & realistic outcomes (including before & after pictures of previous patients). This will allow the patient to make an informed decision which is in their best interest.
2) To allow Dr Naeem to see & assess the patient regarding their presenting concern with the aim of providing an honest, professional & sincere assessment.
3) To allow Dr Naeem to take a brief medical history to ensure treatment is safe & suitable for the patient.
4) To give the patient peace-of-mind by allowing them to meet their medical practitioner & ask any questions they wish to ask in a friendly, comfortable & non-judgmental setting. We welcome & encourage as many questions as possible during this consultation to ensure full satisfaction from the patient.
Treatment Plan
Based upon the initial consultation, a treatment plan may be proposed to the patient. In many cases, the patient may just wish to undergo anti-wrinkle injections and therefore won’t need a plan- However, often times there may be extra treatments or even alternative treatments which may help more, or simply enhance the results of another treatment. Based on the consultation, these are provided to the patient if they wish to be given a treatment plan/recommendation.
Undergoing Treatment
On the day of treatment, a few forms will be signed upon arrival to the clinic. Some pictures may also be taken, but will be strictly for private use by the clinic (unless the patient provides consent for it being shared).
Treatment time is usually between 30 minutes-1 hour depending on the areas being injected. The area is cleaned, numbed & may also be air cooled (using a state-of-the-art cooling system) to further minimise pain/discomfort.
Treatments are generally well tolerated.
Aftercare
Aftercare instructions are verbally given by the Doctor as well as being automatically sent to the email provided.
If a physical copy of the aftercare instructions are needed, the clinic will also provide this.
Next Treatment!
Based on the results you wish to achieve, your doctor will outline a course of treatments of you to undertake. It is important to stick to this to maximise your results, as opposed to one-off treatments. In some instances, one-off treatments may be appropriate.

How many treatments are required?
On average, between 2-5 sessions will be required, approximately 3-4 weeks apart. The number of treatments vary according to the volume of the fat deposit being treated, the individual’s response to the treatment and their desired achievement.This will be monitored & discussed with your doctor.
