Used for the dissolution of fat depots, Aqualyx can be administered over the entire body. e.g. jaw lines, hips, saddlebags, thighs, stomach, knees and more. Aqualyx is also a possible treatment for male breasts and buffalo humps.
The amount of treatments varies according to the desired degree of amendment, the size of the fat deposit and the individual reactions of the fat tissue. On average you will have to expect around 3 to 5 sessions with 3-week intervals, until you can actually perceive the results. A treatment with Aqualyx does not result in weight loss. Healthy nutrition as well as an exercise regimen is an absolute necessity to ensure success of the treatment.
Using thin, flexible cannulas, Aqualyx is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat tissue. The treatment is virtually pain free, as fat tissue is almost free of sensation and Aqualyx contains an additional local anesthetic. After the treatment the affected areas may redden and swell to a slight to moderate degree. As with any treatment requiring an injection technique, minor bruising and swelling might develop. All these are expected side effects that abate within a couple of days after treatment.
Do not apply any cosmetics onto the treated areas within a 12 hour period and avoid all direct sources of heat and radiation (sunlight, UV-radiation, sauna etc). Furthermore, you should abstain from particularly demanding physical exercise for 7 days. As the released fatty acids are converted into additional energy, it is especially important that you keep a strict and healthy diet, otherwise your body will simply store the fat in an alternative fat depot.
