Even with a healthy lifestyle, some pockets of fat can be resistant to change. Whether it’s a soft jawline, double chin, love handles, or inner thighs, these areas can impact your overall silhouette and self-confidence. Aqualyx is a clinically developed injectable treatment that breaks down fat cells in specific areas, allowing your body to eliminate them naturally over time.

This makes Aqualyx an ideal option for non-surgical body sculpting, offering permanent fat reduction in treated areas with a course of sessions tailored to your needs.

What Is Aqualyx?

Aqualyx is a biocompatible injectable solution containing deoxycholic acid, a compound that’s naturally produced in the body to help break down dietary fat. When injected into a targeted area, Aqualyx causes fat cells to rupture, releasing their contents to be flushed out through the lymphatic system.

Over several weeks, the area becomes slimmer, firmer, and more defined — without the need for anaesthesia, incisions, or liposuction.

What Areas Can Aqualyx Treat?

Aqualyx is effective on small, localised pockets of fat in both the face and body. Common treatment areas include:

  • Double chin / jawline
  • Jowls
  • Upper arms (bingo wings)
  • Bra bulge or back fat
  • Abdomen and flanks (love handles)
  • Hips
  • Thighs (inner and outer)
  • Knees

This treatment is not for overall weight loss, but rather for sculpting and refining areas where fat lingers despite diet and exercise.

Can Aqualyx Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Yes — Aqualyx works particularly well as part of a body contouring plan, alongside treatments such as:

  • Skin tightening (e.g. radiofrequency, HIFU)
  • Lymphatic massage, to support drainage
  • Muscle toning technologies (such as EMSculpt)
  • Facial dermal fillers or chin sculpting, for definition after fat reduction

Your practitioner will advise the best treatment combination based on your body and goals.

Will Aqualyx Work for Me?

If you’re looking for a targeted, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that works gradually and naturally, Aqualyx may be a great option. It’s particularly effective for clients wanting to fine-tune their shape without committing to more invasive options.

How Long Do Aqualyx Results Last?

Aqualyx permanently removes fat cells from the treated area. Once destroyed, those fat cells can’t return — however, the results will only remain long-term if a healthy weight is maintained. Gaining weight can cause remaining fat cells in the area to enlarge again.

Results typically become visible after 3 to 6 weeks, with full results developing gradually as your body metabolises the fat. Most clients need a course of 2–4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, depending on the size and density of the area.

 

Is Aqualyx Painful?

The treatment is very tolerable. Aqualyx is usually combined with a local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort. You might feel mild stinging, heat, or pressure during the injection, but this passes quickly.

Some clients experience swelling, tenderness, or slight bruising in the days after treatment — especially in the chin or jawline area — but this is normal and temporary.

Is There Downtime with Aqualyx?

There’s minimal downtime, but you may experience swelling and tenderness for several days — especially in areas with softer skin like the neck. Avoiding strenuous activity, heat, and alcohol for 24–48 hours is usually advised.

 

What to expect

Who Is Aqualyx Suitable For?

Aqualyx is ideal for men and women who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with small areas of stubborn fat. You may be a suitable candidate if:

  • You have soft, pinchable fat in specific areas
  • You’ve already tried to reduce the area with diet and exercise
  • You want to avoid surgery or liposuction
  • Your BMI is within a healthy range (not suitable for obesity)
  • You are looking for gradual, long-term improvement

It’s not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for clients with certain metabolic or autoimmune conditions — a full consultation is required.

★★★★★ I had such a great experience at Premier Laser Liverpool Street! I had CoolSculpting on my arms last week and went back today for my abdomen treatment. Alex was absolutely fantastic, she's attentive, caring and professional. She will checking in to make sure I was comfortable and genuinely made me feel well looked after. The clinic is also very clean and welcoming. I’m really looking forward to seeing the results! Highly recommend Alex if you’re considering CoolSculpting.

Farah is very helpful and consistently checks how I’m feeling throughout the appointment. She is also very informative and answers all my questions. If you are still ensure about where to get laser hair removal, Laser & Skin would be a great choice.

Frequently asked

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Aqualyx really work?

Yes — Aqualyx is clinically proven to break down fat cells in treated areas. When carried out correctly and as part of a course, it can deliver noticeable, long-term fat reduction.

Does Aqualyx work on belly fat?

It can, yes — particularly on small, soft, localised fat deposits. It’s ideal for shaping areas like the lower abdomen or love handles, rather than large-scale fat loss.

Is one session of Aqualyx enough?

For some, it may be — especially in smaller areas like under the chin. But most people benefit from 2 to 4 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, for optimal results.

How many Aqualyx injections do I need for stomach?

It varies depending on the size and density of the fat in that area. Typically, 2 to 4 sessions are required to treat the stomach effectively.

Can I use Aqualyx myself?

No — Aqualyx must be injected by a trained medical professional. Self-injection is unsafe and can lead to serious complications or ineffective results.

What is the best fat dissolving injection for belly fat?

Aqualyx is one of the most established options for non-surgical fat reduction and works well on the stomach for suitable candidates. Your practitioner may advise if it’s right for your body type.

How do I maximise my Aqualyx results?

Stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, maintain a stable weight, and follow all aftercare instructions. Gentle massage and light exercise can also support the lymphatic process.

How do you know if Aqualyx is working?

You’ll start to see gradual reduction in fat and improved contour in the treated area after a few weeks. The full effect becomes more visible after a full course.

Who cannot have Aqualyx?

Aqualyx is not suitable for everyone. It’s not recommended if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or active skin infections in the treatment area
  • Are severely overweight or seeking a weight loss solution
  • Have liver or kidney conditions affecting fat metabolism
  • Are allergic to any of the ingredients in the solution

A full consultation is essential to assess your suitability and ensure treatment is both safe and effective.
