What is Aqualyx®?
Aqualyx® is a compound solution whose main component is deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in bile fluids, which selectively breaks down fat.

How does Aqualyx® work?
Aqualyx® is injected with a special needle into the fatty tissue of the area we wish to improve. Its micro-gelatinous texture allows the slow release of its active ingredients, which gradually disrupt the membrane of fat cells, leading to the release of fatty acids that are then naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system.

Which areas can be treated?
Aqualyx® treatment can practically be applied to almost any area of the body. The best results are achieved in patients with near-normal body weight and localized fat accumulation in anatomical areas such as the thighs, buttocks, knees, waist, abdomen, double chin, etc.—areas that do not respond to diet and exercise.

How is Aqualyx® treatment performed?
The treatment is carried out with a simple injection into the subcutaneous fat of the targeted area and does not require anesthesia.

What should I expect after the treatment?
Immediately after the procedure, there may be a mild stinging sensation, while slight redness and swelling are common and usually subside within 2–3 days. Results begin to become visible after 7–10 days and are completed within 3–4 weeks.

How many sessions are needed?
The number of treatments depends on the area and extent of the concern, as well as the desired degree of correction. On average, 2–5 sessions are required at intervals of 3–4 weeks.

When is Aqualyx® treatment not recommended?
The treatment is not recommended for children, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, for patients with a history of anaphylactic reactions and severe allergies, for those with acute or chronic skin conditions, and for individuals with serious illnesses.
