Fat Dissolving Treatment

What to Expect During, and After Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Treatment
Knowing what happens at each stage of Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Treatment can help you feel prepared and more at ease. Here’s what you can expect:
Procedure Time
The time taken for a treatment session will depend upon the size of the area being treated. Treatment can take between 30- 45 minutes and you will typically require 2–3 treatments, 4 weeks apart.
Result Duration
The results of Aqualyx are permanent under the condition of maintaining a constant weight measurement (i.e. assuming you do not gain weight). Once the freed fatty acids have been processed through the body’s lymphatic system, they don’t reappear. However, the procedure is only permanent if you follow a healthy diet and exercise frequently following treatment. If you regain weight, it is likely that the fat pockets will reappear. If a healthy lifestyle is maintained, the results should be permanent. It can take up to 3-4 weeks after the first treatment before you see results a course of is recommended
Anaesthetic
Local anaesthetic and topical numbing cream.
Back to work
You can resume normal activity immediately following the treatment.
Sensitivity, side effects and risks
People treated with Aqualyx will typically experience minimal side effects when compared to more invasive procedures, such as liposuction. Side effects include some redness, swelling and tenderness in the treated area. Some people may experience some light bruising, but this and any other side effects will usually resolve within a few days. You may need to take over the counter painkillers to control any pain-related side effects.
Contraindications
As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the area treated, there are few medical reasons why you should not undergo this treatment. However, Aqualyx is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast feeding; patients with auto-immune disease, diabetics and patients who have had severe anaphylactic reactions and allergies. It is also not recommended for those people who have been diagnosed with lipodystrophy or any pathological conditions.
