What is Aqualyx and how does it work?
Aqualyx is a non-surgical, injectable solution for fat reduction and body contouring. It’s a bio-compatible, water-based gel formulated to dissolve localised fat cells. This treatment is ideal for areas where fat accumulates and is resistant to diet and exercise, such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, love handles, etc.
The key ingredient in Aqualyx is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the targeted area, Aqualyx breaks down the fat cell membrane, causing the fat to be released and metabolised by the body. Over time, the treated fat cells are naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system.
