How does it work?

Aqualyx can effectively target areas with localised fat deposits, including the thighs, abdomen, hips, buttocks, arms, and back.

The Aqualyx solution is administered directly into the targeted fat deposits using a specialised sharp cannula, following a carefully trained technique.

Typically, two injection points are used for each treatment area.

The amount of Aqualyx required depends on the size and thickness of the fat to be dissolved.

Local anaesthetics can be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure.
