HOW DOES AQUALYX WORK?
The Aqualyx Treatment is administered as injections into the area of concern. This specially-formulated solution works by attaching itself to the fatty deposits. These deposits take time to be broken down. After they are broken down, the body simply flushes them out. The treatment is able to destroy the fat cells by dissolving them. They are then excreted by the lymphatic system.
Aqualyx solution is derived from natural plant-based ingredients. The active component occurs naturally in the body and is therefore extremely safe. Deoxycholic acid emulsifies fats in the target area. The membranes of the fats are dissolved and break down in the area being treated.
When the fat cells break down, the body’s immune system simply flushes them out via the lymphatic system and liver. This treatment is preferable to liposuction as it also tightens the skin, so you won’t have sagging skin once the fat has been removed. The results are more contoured and toned skin in the treated area.
Over the course of a month, Aqualyx is able to break down unwanted fat. The treatment is going to start working as soon as it is injected. Many people have fatty deposits in areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise. These areas are designed to provide the body with the energy needed in difficult circumstances. This means that there are troublesome, unsightly areas which really bother some individuals.
Aqualyx Treatment eliminates tiresome fat deposits while offering body sculpting and contouring. It’s an excellent choice if you aren’t keen to experience the downtime and pain associated with liposuction.
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED WITH AQUALYX TREATMENT?
Aqualyx is used to treat excess fat in different areas of the face and body. Typical areas treated are the chin, the area underneath the chin, the stomach, the thighs, the knees, and the buttocks. Fat deposits are removed that are difficult to get rid of with diet and exercise alone.
THE BENEFITS OF AQUALYX
Aqualyx Treatment is a relatively new aesthetic technique for removing fatty deposits on the face and body. The treatment is highly effective and it offers a less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. Here is a list of the benefits of having the treatment performed:
1. SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
Aqualyx is a safe, natural alternative to traditional liposuction. It’s effective for dissolving fat in unwanted areas of the face and body. The after-effects are fairly minor and there is very little downtime associated with this treatment compared to liposuction.
2. LASTING RESULTS
If you’re looking for a long-term solution for unwanted fatty deposits on the face and body, then this treatment could be just what you’re looking for. The Aqualyx Treatment is known to produce results that last. This means that you can banish fat for good in the areas you’re concerned about.
3. BODY CONTOURING AND TIGHTER SKIN
Aqualyx Treatment is effective in producing tightening and contouring effects to the skin in the treated area. With liposuction, there is usually saggy skin in the area that was treated. This problem is easily overcome with Aqualyx.
4. STARTS WORKING IMMEDIATELY
Once injected, Aqualyx starts working immediately in the treated area. Over time, the unwanted fat is removed by the lymphatic system and the liver. This is the immediate solution when a non-invasive alternative to liposuction is desirable.
PRE-APPOINTMENT CARE FOR AQUALYX
To help you to prepare for Aqualyx treatment, buy some Paracetamol in case you need it during or after treatment. It’s a good idea to purchase supportive garments for the area being treated. You’ll find that the support from these types of clothing ensure comfort after treatment. There is likely to be some swelling, so tight jeans aren’t the best option available.
THE PROCESS OF AQUALYX TREATMENT
At your free consultation at the London Lip Clinic, we will discuss your concerns with you and ask you about your medical history. This gives us the opportunity to record your weight, give you an examination, and take photographs to record what you look like before the treatment starts.
At your Aqualyx appointment, the area causing concern is marked. Next, we ask you to look in the mirror to confirm that this is the right place. After this, we ask you to lie down on the couch whilst giving us access to the area being treated.
Aqualyx treatment is fast and efficient, and can take from between 15 and 45 minutes. The process takes longer when larger areas are being treated. Generally speaking, there will be multiple injections needed in each problem area. In order for the treatment to be tolerable, an anaesthetic is used.
Treatments can then be repeated every 4 or 6 weeks until all the small pockets of fat are reduced. You can have the treatment administered between two and eight times. The number of treatments you’ll need is going to depend on the number of fat deposits you want to target.
POST-APPOINTMENT CARE FOR AQUALYX
After the body is treated with Aqualyx, the local anaesthetic will wear off and you are likely to experience feeling tender in the area that was treated. This is when you’ll find you need to take Paracetamol to manage the pain. It’s recommended to avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications like Aspirin and Ibuprofen. These medications can stop the body from responding well to Aqualyx treatment, and they can reduce the benefits.
Initially, the area that was treated is going to look swollen. Within the first day or two, any swelling is going to double in size. Over the next 7 days, the swelling will go down. In some rare cases this is going to take longer. Swelling is a good indicator that your body is responding to the treatment.
For the first 48 hours post-treatment, the area that was treated is going to look red and feel warm. It’s common to experience some bruising, itching, and fairly minor aches and pains. For up to a month, the skin in the area that was treated is going to feel numb. In rare cases there are symptoms such as hyperpigmentation, diarrhoea and nausea. Women may experience intracycle menstruation as a side-effect of the treatment.
In spite of these effects, you will be able to resume your regular routine a few days after the treatment is complete. We recommend that you avoid resuming your exercise regime for the first 5 days post-treatment. Eating a low calorie, healthy diet helps to increase the treatment’s effectiveness. This can help you to benefit in the long term. When required, a referral to a dietician is advised to provide you with the support you need to keep the weight off. We would like to see you again in a month to 6 weeks to review the treatment and to plan additional treatments when needed
You are advised to ensure that you remain well hydrated after your Aqualyx Treatment. A low-fat diet is important so that you put less stress on your liver as it processes the fat which is being broken down. After treatment, you can resume gentle exercise when you feel able.
It’s recommended to avoid exposure to temperature extremes when after Aqualyx Treatment. You’ll need to avoid sunbathing, saunas and steam rooms for a week post-treatment. To improve your body’s response to treatment, keep pinching the area that was treated. This will stimulate it and help the Aqualyx to work properly.
