 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Rupesh for my Botox for over 6 years now and it’s always a pleasure. Results are always amazing and Rupesh is just a wonderful person to be around - even if for 15 mins at a time. Could not recommend more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rupesh was an amazing practitioner. From when I arrived, he explained the full procedure to me making sure to highlight the after-care and what I need to do for the best results. He talked me through everything he was doing and made me feel at ease. The Botox procedure was seamless and was very quick. I told him my problem areas and he made sure to explain how this is going to help that. He was very knowledgeable and even recommended other services based on my future needs giving me the pros and cons for each one. I left very happy and I will definitely be back when I need a top up, and recommend him to everyone. Thanks a lot, Rupesh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with Dr. Rupesh at the London Lip Clinic. I had been struggling with excessive underarm sweating for a long time—it was really uncomfortable and started affecting my confidence. I tried different roll-ons recommended by my GP, but nothing worked.

A friend of mine mentioned that her sister had the same issue and got treated by Dr. Rupesh with Botox for hyperhidrosis, and it worked really well for her. That gave me the push I needed to book a consultation.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if the treatment would work for me, and I was also a bit scared about the pain and the whole process. But Dr. Rupesh was incredibly patient, kind, and professional. He took the time to explain everything in detail and really helped put my mind at ease.

He mentioned that results can start showing anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks, depending on the person. For me, I noticed a difference the very next day! It’s now been 3 weeks since my treatment, and I haven’t experienced any sweating at all—I’m honestly so happy with the results.

I highly recommend Dr. Rupesh and the team at London Lip Clinic. Thank you so much for looking after me!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rupesh is an amazing man and practitioner. He takes such good and skilled technical care with treatment and is generous in tweaking results later and so achieves the best result of any such doctor I have had anywhere in the world. But it is the human being who so readily comes through that makes him especially good at his craft and with his patients. I have been seeing Rupesh for well over two years now and have gotten to know him as a person. He is dedicated to his parents, to his family and thoughtful about life, how to raise children, how others feel and how he can help them. An authentic and skilled man. Thank you Rupesh - this review was long-planned but well overdue.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rupesh makes you feel relaxed and comfortable and is excellent at his job, ensuring you get exactly the level of improvement you desire. His honesty and professionalism ensure there is no hard sell which is unusual (and greatly appreciated) in this field. His aftercare is reassuring and informative. I wouldn’t go anywhere else again and have no doubts recommending him and his clinic.

What Are Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections?

Stubborn pockets of fat can remain despite a healthy diet & 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 – Rupesh 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, reflecting our wider patient-first ethos and natural aesthetic philosophy.

Aqualyx® is an injectable treatment designed to break down unwanted fat cells, using deoxycholic acid as its main active ingredient. This naturally occurring bile acid is found in the human body and helps with fat digestion. It is carefully injected directly into the fatty tissue in the target area using micro-cannulas by a qualified medical professional. It is ideal for treating very 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 4–8 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 professional, Rupesh following a comprehensive consultation to ensure Aqualyx® is the most suitable treatment for you. As a medical aesthetic treatment, Aqualyx® must be administered correctly, as improper administration can lead to severe complications. 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 Harley Street, London provide an effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgery.

Areas We Treat with Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx contains deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells. It is not a method for general weight loss or obesity treatment. Instead, it is intended for individuals with localised fat pockets who are near their target weight. Aqualyx treatments should only be performed by qualified medical professionals like Rupesh to ensure safety and optimal results.

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 located on Harley Street, London, 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. Where laxity is a concern, HIFU skin tightening treatment may be recommended as a complement.

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. Aqualyx 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 non-surgical 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® Injections target 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® Injections 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. Learn more about how Aqualyx fat dissolving injections work across different body areas.

Upper Arms

Persistent fat on the upper arms can prevent patients from feeling confident in sleeveless clothing. Aqualyx® Injections help reduce localised fat deposits to create slimmer, more toned-looking arms. For patients with loose skin, additional skin tightening treatments may also be recommended. Explore our before and after treatment results gallery to see how outcomes can vary.

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.

Procedure Time
30–60 minutes.

No. of Treatments
Most patients require 2–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, amount of fat and desired result.

Results Last
Fat cells destroyed by Aqualyx® are permanently removed. Results are long-lasting when maintained with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

Price
£400 per area

Frequently Asked Questions About Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Treatment

What Is Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections ?

Aqualyx is a fat dissolving injectable treatment at London Lip Clinic designed to target small, stubborn pockets of fat that are difficult to shift with diet and exercise alone. It is commonly used for body contouring rather than weight loss. Aqualyx is a gel-based injectable treatment for localized fat reduction. Aqualyx contains deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells.

Is This a Weight Loss Treatment?

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

How Does Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Work?

The Aqualyx solution contains a modified deoxycholic acid derivative that disrupts fat-cell membranes, allowing the body to gradually clear the released fat. Results usually start to appear within 3 to 8 weeks, can take 4 to 8 weeks to develop, and suitable patients may see up to a 30% fat reduction.

How Many Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Treatments Do I Need?

Will the Fat Cells Come Back in The Area?

How Does Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections London Work ?

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.

The elastic needles allow small areas to be tackled effectively such as double chin or jowls.

What Is the Actual Difference Between Kybella & Aqualyx ?

Kybella and Aqualyx are both injectable fat-dissolving treatments, but they are different products and are used differently depending on the treatment plan. Your practitioner will advise which option is most appropriate for your concerns, and you can read more about how Aqualyx fat dissolving injections compare with other options.

Avoid heat and sun exposure.
No Swimming, Jacuzzi, Sauna.
