Fat Dissolving
Fat Dissolving
We provide fat dissolving treatments and one of our chosen products is Aqualyx, which is a safe, effective fat dissolving injection treatment that reduces fat cells in the treated area. Made from several different plant-based compounds – the active component naturally occurs in the human body and is a solution of deoxycholic acid which emulsifies fats. It dissolves the membranes of fat cells in the treated area, producing long-lasting results.
Once the fat cells become unstable, they break down, and the body’s immune system then eliminates the fatty acids via the lymphatic system and liver. Unlike liposuction, the treatment will also cause skin tightening in the area, so you are less likely to end up with loose skin feeling more contoured and toned.
Aqualyx can be used to treat small, exercise-resistant, pockets of fat around the chin, chest, abdomen and thighs. It is beneficial for body contouring and skin tightening, but we would not recommend it as a treatment for weight loss.
We use the top quality leading brands which are under pinned by years of clinical research to ensure patient safety and fabulous outcomes remain paramount. We are experts in the use of Aqualyx.
At Skin Within Aesthetics our aim is to provide our patients with expert knowledge and guidance regarding their skin concerns so they feel 100% confident when making their choices.
In your consultation we will talk you through a full and thorough discussion of your concerns, needs and expected results allowing us to create a bespoke treatment plan for you. A detailed medical history will be completed and every aspect of your treatment will be discussed ensuring complete confidence in your chosen treatments.
