Fat Dissolving Treatment (Aqualyx)
Aqualyx fat dissolving treatment involves the injection of a specialized solution directly into targeted areas of localized fat using fine needles. The solution works by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body. Common treatment areas include the chin, abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs (inner and outer), arms, and under the bra line. The procedure usually takes about 30–45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Patients may experience mild discomfort, redness, or swelling, which generally resolves within a few days. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, and visible improvements typically appear within 2–4 weeks, with full effects seen after a few months.
