AQUALIX
The latest fat dissolving injection using ”AQUALYX” is one of the latest fat removal and body sculpting procedures at
Pretty Woman Cosmetic Clinic® offers for those who want to loose fat at stubborn areas of the body.
The human body naturally stores fat – subcutaneous fat – in order to supply energy in times of restraint. Every body distributes the subcutaneous body fat by a genetically determined pattern. In almost all cases this inherent distribution cannot be remedied by a special diet or increased physical exercise. Aqualyx injections are very effective and a non-invasive treatment for face and body sculpting which benefit for one who does not want invasive surgery and cannot afford down time and discomfort of invasive liposuction.
What is AQUALYX™?
AQUALYX™ is an injectable, hydrous,micro-gelantuoussolution, which is biocompatible and biodegradable. It causes the dissolution of fat cells, after which the body then expels the released fatty acids naturally. AQUALYX™
is a complex containing detergent from the desoxycholate family that has been physically modified in order to reduce the biological half-life and the sugar-based slow release system results in minimal side effects.
How does it work?
The solution is injected into the fat through a special AQUALYX™sharp cannula using a unique trained technique.Usually 2 injection spots are required per region with the amount of product used differing according to the area of fat being treated. Lidocaine can be added to the solution before injecting to improve patient comfort levels; the treatment is relatively painless with a warm sensation. Itching, slight burning, slight oedema and reddening can occur post treatment and last for 1-3 days within the treated area.
The number of treatments required can vary dependent on the area/amount being treated with as little as 1 or possibly 2 treatments required up to 8; repeat treatments occur every 4 weeks
