Aqualyx is a non-surgical way of body-shaping. This gel-based solution is injected into areas of unwanted fat. The solution works by disrupting the surface of the fat cells, causing them to weaken and become permeable. Aqualyx is suitable for treating: double chin, jowls, upper arms, armpits, waist, hips, knees, chest, inner tights, buttocks as well as folds on the back. Some people may see an improvement after 1-2 session but up to 8 may be required 10-12 weeks apart.  Subsequent sessions can be performed after all side effects have fully resolved. There may be redness, bruising, and swelling that could last up to few days. It is regarded as a safe treatment. The Aqualyx manufacturer has reported no major side effects. Aqualyx can be effective at removing small pockets of stubborn fat. It is not an alternative for liposuction for large areas of fat removal and is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.   Prescription for anasthetic is advised which and can be prescribed by a doctor or a prescribing clinician.
