If you’re struggling with stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise, Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections offer a safe and effective solution. This innovative treatment works by breaking down targeted fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
Fat dissolving works very well when targeting small areas of fat deposits difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone.
Aqualyx is an injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid (a bile acid), which mimics the body’s natural fat-digesting process. When injected into targeted fat deposits, it destabilizes fat cell walls, causing the fatty content to be released and eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system as energy.
This treatment is ideal for small, stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise. Commonly treated areas at The Grove Clinic include the double chin, prejowl sulcus, upper arms, armpits, waist, hips (saddle bags), inner knees, inner thighs, plus augmented fat depots on the chest, buttocks, and even patches such as pseudo-gynecomastia and buffalo humps.
Most clients see significant improvements after 3 to 5 sessions, conducted at approximately 3-week intervals. It’s important to note that Aqualyx is not a weight-loss treatment; maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential to achieving and preserving the best results.
Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate—resulting in permanent reduction in the treated area, as long as you avoid weight gain. Most patients experience minimal downtime; common temporary effects include slight swelling, bruising, or tenderness, but these usually resolve quickly.
