Yes, the fat cells in the treated areas are destroyed by this treatment. However, this does not stop your body’s ability to put on weight. Aqualyx® is not a treatment for obesity, it is a treatment for stubborn, localised pockets of fat and body/facial sculpting.
This depends on the area treated and number of sessions required. Results are noticed approximately 4-6 weeks after your last session.
Results are permanent provided in the treated areas. However, the treatment does not stop your body from accumulating new fat, if there is dietary intake/lifestyle issue. It is not a treatment for obesity.

The procedure is usually very well tolerated with a small amount of discomfort. Injecting Aqualyx® in the wrong ‘plane’ can trigger sharp pain (e.g. incorrect placement near the skin or muscle). Injection entry points are kept to a minimum for comfort.
Depending on the treatment area between 45-60 minutes. This will be determined by the nurse.
Redness in the affected area is common. You may experience bruising and/or swelling. Mild discomfort is common but some may have more prolonged pain. This can be managed and we provide guidance and support throughout your treatment journey. Occasionally, ‘nodules’ may form, but are transient and require no treatment. Should they persist, they may require more focused Aqualyx® injection.
Not necessarily. If discomfort is minimal and the treated area is not visible (e.g., thighs, abdomen) there is no objection to working. Treating the chin area may result in visible redness, bruising and/or swelling so you may wish organise a few days off work, if this is an issue for you.
It is best to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy alcohol in the first 24hrs after treatment. Exercise is otherwise acceptable. We would always encourage adherence to recommended guidelines on alcohol consumption, both for general wellbeing and preserving facial/body aesthetics.
