What Can You Expect from Aqualyx Injections? Here’s What You Should Know

 Perhaps you have already heard of Aqualyx injections, but as is the case with such treatments, not many are sure of what they are and if they work. Aqualyx is a fat-dissolving treatment. The injections are a very effective option for people who want to remove unwanted areas of stubborn fat.

The results of Aqualyx can effectively be permanent if you watch your diet and make it a point to exercise regularly. But there are many other questions people have about the treatment, including its safety, how much it costs, how long the results can last, and more. So, if you are still wondering what you should expect from Aqualyx injections, here’s what you should know.

But first, let’s start with a caveat. Healthy Life Essex believes in natural beauty and that we should be comfortable in our bodies, whatever shape or size. And, of course, the best way to get rid of fat is exercise and a healthy diet. Nonetheless, we all have stubborn areas of fat that don’t seem to shift however hard we try, and that can be both frustrating and demoralising.

We are not a fan of cosmetic procedures such as liposuction and weight loss surgery such as gastric bands. However, Aqualyx focuses on small pockets of fat and, most importantly, is made from several different plant-based compounds. So, if you are worrying about those stubborn pockets of fat, this could be a good treatment choice for you.

Are Aqualyx Injections Safe?

Aqualyx was developed by Professor Pasquale Motolese, President of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Surgery and Medicine. It has CE approval for use in the UK meaning it meets the health and safety standards required by the European Union.

Most people choose Aqaulyx instead of traditional risky and invasive methods like liposuction because it is a more natural and safer option.  It pays to research the procedure and what it entails, of course, but you will see that the risks are minimal and the treatment itself is safe and effective.

Aqualyx is used as a gateway to the natural and normal process of fat cell destruction and digestion – and since it is a naturally-occurring process, it is safer than most. There is also normally no recovery period. Providing your skin’s swelling is reduced, you’re good to go.

How Much do Aqualyx Injections Cost?

Prices vary, but Aqualyx is much more affordable than other treatments such as liposuction, which can cost upwards of £6000. This is because the injections are given over a period, and the number of injections may vary according to how many areas you would like treated. But generally, a single Aqualyx treatment can cost around £300 – 350, with three to four sessions being the normal range.

How Permanent Are The Results?

Because Aquxlyx is a fat-dissolving treatment, you will be glad to know that the results are often permanent. It will rid your body of fat cells, which means that they are supposed to be permanently destroyed, and your body has gotten rid of them through the lymphatic and renal systems. But what is important to remember is that the fat cells will grow back or regenerate if you don’t follow a good diet and exercise regimen.

It is also worth noting that fat-dissolving injections would not help you lose weight or excess fat – they are not a weight treatment plan per se. Yes, the injections can get rid of fat cells – but they are meant to shape or contour an area rather than serve as a weight loss or management strategy.

What can I expect From the Treatment?

The treatment is straightforward. You will have a consultation first to see what areas you’d like treated, and then you will be scheduled for your Aqualyx treatment. To minimise pain and discomfort, the injections will be administered along with numbing cream and local anaesthetic. The whole treatment period, including preparation, could run from half an hour to an hour, based on the size of the treated area.

When the session is done, you may experience some redness, but this will go away after a few hours. You may notice the area begins to swell, which can last for a few days – it is a good sign because it means the fat is dissolving, and the body responds by sending in white blood cells to get rid of it.
