Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections at The Chelmsford Skin Clinic
Targeted Fat Reduction with Aqualyx: Non-Surgical Body Contouring
At The Chelmsford Skin Clinic, we offer Aqualyx, a revolutionary non-surgical treatment designed to target and dissolve stubborn fat in specific areas of the body. If you're struggling with localised fat deposits that won't budge, despite diet and exercise, Aqualyx could be the solution you've been looking for. This injectable treatment provides a safe, effective, and non-invasive alternative to liposuction, offering visible, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
What is Aqualyx?
Aqualyx is an advanced fat-dissolving injection made from a solution of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas of fat, Aqualyx works by disrupting the fat cell membrane, causing fat cells to break down and be eliminated by the body’s natural processes. Over time, this results in a smoother, more contoured body shape.
Aqualyx is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that provides an alternative to invasive fat removal procedures. It’s ideal for those who are at or near their ideal weight but have persistent pockets of fat that are resistant to exercise and diet.
Benefits of Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections:
Targeted Fat Reduction
Aqualyx is designed to target specific areas of unwanted fat, such as under the chin (double chin), stomach, thighs, flanks, arms, and knees. The treatment is highly effective for contouring the body and sculpting areas with stubborn fat.Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive
Aqualyx offers the benefits of fat reduction without the need for surgery, scarring, or general anesthesia. The treatment is quick, with minimal discomfort, and requires no downtime.Safe and Proven Treatment
Aqualyx has been used in aesthetic medicine for several years and is clinically proven to be safe and effective. The treatment is carried out by trained professionals at The Chelmsford Skin Clinic, ensuring the best results with minimal risks.Long-Lasting Results
Once fat cells are broken down and eliminated by the body, the results are permanent, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle. The treated fat cells will not return, though it’s important to note that weight gain can lead to the formation of new fat cells in untreated areas.Minimal Downtime
Aqualyx requires no recovery time, and you can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment. Some minor swelling or redness may occur in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
How Aqualyx Works:
Consultation:
Your treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr Ahmed. During this consultation, we’ll assess the areas you wish to target and discuss your goals to develop a personalised treatment plan.Treatment Process:
Aqualyx is injected directly into the targeted fat areas using a fine needle. The procedure takes around 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. While most patients experience minimal discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.Fat Breakdown:
Once injected, the Aqualyx solution works to break down the fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by your lymphatic system over time. This process can take several weeks, with the full results becoming apparent after 4 to 6 weeks.Results:
The results of Aqualyx are gradual, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal outcomes. Many patients notice a visible reduction in fat and improvement in body contours after just one or two treatments. For larger or more stubborn areas, a course of treatments may be recommended.
Areas Treated with Aqualyx:
Double Chin:
One of the most popular uses for Aqualyx is the treatment of a double chin, where fat deposits can be difficult to shift with exercise alone.Abdomen and Flanks:
Aqualyx can target love handles, muffin tops, or stubborn belly fat for a smoother, more toned appearance.Thighs and Knees:
Aqualyx can also be used to contour the thighs, knees, and other areas of the lower body, helping to improve the shape and definition of your legs.Arms and Back:
For those looking to eliminate unwanted fat on the upper arms, bra-line fat, or back fat, Aqualyx can provide effective results.
What to Expect After Treatment:
Minor Side Effects:
After the procedure, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects are normal and typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days.Post-Treatment Care:
It’s important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by our practitioners, including avoiding direct sun exposure and intense physical activity for 24-48 hours after your treatment.Visible Results Over Time:
While you may begin to notice a difference within a few weeks, the full results of Aqualyx will typically become more apparent after 4 to 6 weeks. Fat cells that have been dissolved and eliminated are permanently gone, leaving a more sculpted appearance.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required depends on the area being treated and the amount of fat present. For most patients, 2-3 sessions are needed to achieve optimal results, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Dr Ahmed will assess your goals during your consultation and provide a tailored treatment plan that best suits your needs.
Is Aqualyx Right for You?
Aqualyx is ideal for individuals who are near their ideal weight but have localised fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. It’s not a weight loss treatment but rather a body contouring solution for stubborn fat areas. If you have more significant weight loss goals, we recommend a discussion with our practitioners to ensure Aqualyx is the best approach for your needs.
