Aqualyx are Fat Dissolving Injections ?

Stubborn pockets of fat can remain despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections offer a safe, non-surgical solution to reduce localised fat and enhance your natural body contours without the need for liposuction.

At London Lip Clinic, our medically led team provides personalised Aqualyx injections in London from our Harley Street clinic. Every treatment is tailored to your individual goals, helping you achieve smoother, more defined contours with natural-looking results.

Aqualyx® is an injectable treatment designed to break down unwanted fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks. It is ideal for treating small, stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Double chin
  • Jawline
  • Abdomen (stomach)
  • Love handles (flanks)
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Bra bulges
  • Back fat
  • Knees

Most patients require a course of treatments, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the size of the area being treated and the desired result. As the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, long-lasting results can be maintained with a stable weight.

At London Lip Clinic, all fat dissolving injections are performed by experienced medical professionals following a comprehensive consultation to ensure Aqualyx® is the most suitable treatment for you. Our priority is delivering safe, effective treatments with natural, balanced outcomes.

Whether you’re looking to reduce a double chin, contour your body, or target stubborn areas of fat, Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections in London provide an effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgery.

Areas We Treat with Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections are designed to target small, stubborn pockets of fat that remain despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. At London Lip Clinic, every treatment is tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals to create natural-looking, balanced body contours.

Double Chin

Aqualyx® is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments for reducing excess fat beneath the chin. It permanently destroys targeted fat cells, helping to create a slimmer, more defined profile and improve jawline definition. It is ideal for patients with good skin quality and mild to moderate fullness beneath the chin.

Jawline

Excess fat along the jawline can soften facial definition and create a heavier appearance. Aqualyx® can reduce localised fat deposits to enhance jawline contours, producing a more sculpted and refined profile. It is often combined with skin tightening treatments for optimal results where skin laxity is present.

Jowls

For suitable patients, Aqualyx® can reduce small pockets of fat contributing to the appearance of jowls. By removing unwanted fat, the lower face can appear slimmer and more contoured. During your consultation, we will determine whether fat reduction, skin tightening or other aesthetic treatments are more appropriate for achieving your desired outcome.

Abdomen (Stomach)

Stubborn abdominal fat is one of the most common treatment areas. Aqualyx® helps target localised fat deposits that remain resistant to diet and exercise, improving abdominal contour without surgery. It is not a weight loss treatment but is ideal for refining body shape.

Love Handles (Flanks)

Love handles can be difficult to eliminate through exercise alone. Aqualyx® targets these resistant fat deposits, creating a smoother transition between the waist and hips and improving overall body proportions. Many patients notice improved clothing fit following treatment.

Waist

Aqualyx® can help contour the waist by reducing excess fat around the midsection. Carefully placed injections can enhance natural curves and improve body definition for both women seeking an hourglass silhouette and men looking for a more athletic physique.

Upper Arms

Persistent fat on the upper arms can prevent patients from feeling confident in sleeveless clothing. Aqualyx® helps reduce localised fat deposits to create slimmer, more toned-looking arms. For patients with loose skin, additional skin tightening treatments may also be recommended.

Bra Bulges

Fat around the bra line or under the arms can be particularly resistant to lifestyle changes. Aqualyx® effectively targets these small fat deposits, creating smoother body contours and improving the appearance of fitted clothing.

Back Fat

Excess fat across the upper or lower back can create unwanted bulges and folds. Aqualyx® can reduce these stubborn areas, resulting in a smoother back profile and enhanced body contour without the need for surgery.

Inner Thighs

The inner thighs are a common area for stubborn fat accumulation. Aqualyx® helps slim this area, improving leg contours and reducing thigh rubbing in suitable patients. Treatment is tailored carefully to maintain natural body proportions.

Outer Thighs (Saddlebags)

Saddlebags are localised fat deposits on the outer thighs that can affect body shape and clothing fit. Aqualyx® can reduce these resistant fat pockets to create a smoother, more balanced silhouette and improve lower body proportions.

Hips

Excess fat around the hips can alter natural body contours. Aqualyx® allows precise reduction of localised fat, helping to create a more streamlined and proportionate appearance while maintaining natural feminine or masculine body shape.

Buttock Banana Roll

The banana roll is the small pocket of fat located beneath the buttocks where they meet the upper thighs. Aqualyx® can reduce this area to create a smoother transition between the buttocks and legs, improving lower body definition and enhancing the overall silhouette.

Knees

Small fat deposits around the inner knees can affect the appearance of the legs. Aqualyx® offers a minimally invasive option for reducing this stubborn fat, helping to create slimmer, more elegant leg contours.

Chest (Pseudogynecomastia in suitable male patients)

For suitable male patients with pseudogynecomastia (excess fatty tissue rather than enlarged breast gland tissue), Aqualyx® can reduce localised chest fat and improve chest definition. A thorough consultation is essential to distinguish pseudogynecomastia from true glandular gynecomastia, as the latter usually requires surgical treatment rather than fat dissolving injections.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Treatment

Aqualyx is a non-surgical fat dissolving injection treatment. The procedure uses a solution of deoxycholic acid to safely and effectively eliminate small, stubborn pockets of fat which resist diet and exercise. A similar ingredient is found in products available in the USA such as Kybella and Belkyra.

Aqualyx™ will not produce weight loss. The aim of Aqualyx is to reduce only stubborn pockets of fat.

The solution is injected into the fat through a special AQUALYX sharp cannula using a unique trained technique. Usually 2 injection spots are required per region with the amount of product used differing according to the area of fat being treated. Lidocaine can be added to the solution before injecting to improve patient comfort levels; the treatment is relatively painless with a warm sensation, itching, slight burning, slight oedema and reddening appearance for 1-3 days within the treated area. The number of treatments required can vary dependent on the area/amount being treated with as little as 1 or possibly 2 treatments required up to 8; repeat treatments occur every 4 weeks.

The number of Aqualyx treatments is dependent on the personal response of every individual. In general, 2-3 treatments are normal.

Body area and number of treatments required guide:
Chin 2 – 4,
Prejowl sulcus 2 – 4,
Arm pits 2 – 4,
Upper arms 2 – 4,
Thoracic rolls 2 – 4,
Abdomen 3 – 6,
Hips 3 – 6,
Saddle bags 3 – 6,
Inner thighs 3 – 6,
Knees 3 – 6,
Lipoma 2 – 4,

There is no evidence of the destroyed fat cells redeveloping after Aqualyx treatment. There is a possibility of remaining fat cells increasing in size if exercise and a sensible diet are not maintained. Hence a healthy lifestyle is a must after the treatment.

Aqualyx is an injectable solution which liquefies fat cells, destroying them for good. The lipids are then released and eliminated naturally by the lymphatic system. Quick, convenient and minimally invasive.

Aqualyx® works by breaking down cell membranes to liquify the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

The procedure consists of a set of injections, administered 3-4 weeks apart, whereby Aqualyx® is injected into the targeted area.

  • Stomach (inc. six pack definition)
  • Love handles
  • Arms
  • Chin
  • Flanks and waist
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Underarms and armpits
  • Under-bra area

Rupesh mixes the Aqualyx solution with a small amount of a local anaesthetic drug called lignocaine to make it more comfortable. The needle we use is very fine. Most people describe the procedure itself as a little uncomfortable but not painful. You could take some Paracetamol tablets an hour before treatment if you are concerned.

You can expect swelling in the area after Aqualyx treatment and sometimes significant swelling, for up to 14 days. You may also experience tenderness and bruising, warmth and tingling, small areas of hardness, and itching around the treatment.

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Reddining of Skin
  • Tension Aches & Pains
  • Inflammatory Nodules

Aqualyx is injected into the fat under your chin, with small amounts administered at several points. The number of injections you need will vary according to the amount of excess fat you have. Rupesh will tailor the doses according to your individual need. Local anaesthetic and cooling packs are used to numb the area before treatment.

Most clients need at least two treatments and some will need up to a maximum of six treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart. area.

  • Patients who are pregnant or during lactation
  • Patients with diabetes
  • Patients with allergies against one or more of the contained components
  • Patients with a medical history including anaphylactic reactions and/or severe allergies
  • Patients with an autoimmune disease
  • Patients with acute or chronic skin diseases in the affected area
  • Patients with other severe organic diseases

After a pre-treatment consultation RUPESH will mark out the area of concern. Aqualyx® is mixed with Lidocaine (anaesthetic) before injection for greater comfort and a number of injections in a fan effect make sure the area if fully covered. The elastic needles allow small areas to be tackled effectively such as double chin or jowls.

Kybella & Aqualyx both work by the same mechanism, as both are forms of the same active ingredient.  Deoxycolic Acid is a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and helps us to breakdown and absorb fat in our diet.  Technically, Aqualyx is a modified compound of cholanic acid (which is ever so slightly different from cholanoic acid a.k.a. deoxycholic acid. When injected into the fat cell, it causes it to breakdown and be absorbed.

Kybella is approved for use in the US and not UK.  The approval studies targeted the fat under the chin, so that is the only currently approved use.

  • Keep the treated area free from cosmetics for 12 hours post procedure.
  • Avoid heat and sun exposure.
  • No Swimming, Jacuzzi, Sauna.
  • Abstain from strenuous exercise for 5-7days.
  • Wearing a support garment.
  • Maintain a healthy diet to ensure that energy released from the fatty acids does not subsequently reform fatty deposits elsewhere.

Kybella and Aqualyx and they appear to have a similar mechanism of action and indications for submental fat. However Kybella is administered by a grid like pattern with many small injections while aqualyx is done through a single injection using cannula while moving the needle around ( fanning technique ) depositing the medication
