AQUALYX

Aqualyx® is a compound solution of the deoxycholate family that has been physically modified and, using a slow release sugar-based system, its biological half-life is reduced, which results in minimal side effects.

Developed by the late Professor Motolese, a renowned aesthetic surgeon, Aqualyx® has been available internationally since 2009, and has sold over 2,000,000 vials, which have been used for patient treatments in 49 countries worldwide.

Professor Motolose developed an injection technique for a treatment known as “Aqualysis ™” or “Aquaplasty™” in which a precise protocol is followed. This technique consists of injecting the solution into localized fat deposits in areas such as the saddle bags, thighs, stomach, chin and knees. It can also be used to treat pseudo-gynecomastia in men.

Aqualyx® liquefies the fat cell, destroying it permanently and releasing the lipids that are subsequently eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

Aqualysis™ can be used in conjunction with an ultrasound device to assist in the dissipation of Aqualyx® throughout the localised fat cells.

Treatment with Aqualyx®

The treatment should only be performed by a specialized dermatologist or surgeon.

The Aqualysis™ technique involves the use of a specially designed flexible cannula. In addition, the doctor receives specialist training so that he/she is certified and able to faultlessly perform Aqualysis™ on their patients. Aqualyx® has been approved by the FDA, as a totally natural product, made from natural extracts with totally natural processes, and is considered as one of the most efficient non-surgical treatments for lipodialysis.

Typically, two injection spots are required for each treatment area; patients report good tolerance of the treatment while an anesthetic solution is normally added prior to injection for greater comfort.

The treatment should be repeated between two and eight times, depending on the number of small pockets of fat tissue to be reduced. The injections are repeated every three to four weeks. At this point, it is worth mentioning that the higher the percentage of fat in the patient’s body, the bigger and more effective the impact of the treatment will be on the patient’s lipocytes and on his/her body in general.

After each treatment, patients can expect some redness in the treated area, which will subside after four to six days. The results are obvious and observable by my patients within just one week after treatment, while the treatment is carried out exclusively in my clinic.

Contraindications: pregnancy and lactation, lipodystrophy, pathological conditions. The treatment is not suitable for those under 18 or over 60 years of age.
