About our fat dissolving solution

The solution is a water-based gel that is injected into the fatty tissue, surrounds the cells and destroys them.  The remains of the fat cells are then excreted by the body safely as waste.  Within the following weeks the treated fat cells are gradually dissolved. The metabolism in the treated area is increased. Usually 2 injection spots are required per region with the amount of product used differing according to the area of fat being treated. The number of treatments required can vary dependent on the area/amount being treated with as little as 1 or 2 treatments required in some cases, going up to 8 in others.  Repeat treatments occur every 4 weeks.

Areas that can be treated

How the treatment works

Find out more about the fat dissolving treatment process and what you can expect at Rediscovered Skin Clinic.

01

Consultation

We assess the area to make sure it’s suitable for fat dissolving and that you’re a good candidate. This works best for small, stubborn pockets of fat – not overall weight loss.

02

Treatment Prep

The area is marked and numbed where needed to keep you comfortable. We’ll explain exactly what to expect, including realistic outcomes and the need for a course.

03

Treatment Process

Aqualyx is injected into the targeted area, where it works to break down fat cells. The treatment is relatively quick, with a series of small injections.

04

Aftercare

Swelling is expected (and can be quite noticeable) for a few days as the body processes the fat. Results develop gradually over a course of treatments, not overnight.

What this treatment works well with

Fat dissolving injections work well alongside advanced tightening treatments to enhance overall contouring results. While fat dissolving injections break down and reduce stubborn pockets of fat, HIFU, RF micro-needling, and SkinTyte focus on tightening and firming the skin by stimulating collagen production. This combination helps to not only slim targeted areas but also improve skin laxity, creating a smoother, more sculpted and defined appearance.

FAQs

The solution is mixed with local anaesthetic and most patients report no discomfort at all from the injections.  The solution itself can cause a mild tingling or burning sensation.

You can expect some swelling, redness, bruising, occasional itching or burning sensation, for 3-5 days after treatment.  Sometimes there are small lumps and bumps under the skin, this is completely normal and may take a couple of weeks to resolve. These can be helped by wearing light compression garments (such as Spanx) during this time.

A course of usually between 2 and up to 8 treatments may be required before results are seen, however many patients report visible differences after just one or two treatments.

The results are permanent with patients still showing fat reduction in the treated areas up to 7 years after treatment. It is not, however, a weight loss treatment and does not replace a healthy diet and exercise.

No, you cannot have this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, diabetic, suffering from vascular disease, auto-immune disease, liver or kidney problems or have blood coagulation problems.
