Fat Dissolving Injections Near Me

 

 

About Aqualyx fat dissolving treatment

Aqualyx is a popular non-surgical procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits in various areas of the body, such as the thighs, stomach, chin, and arms.

This treatment involves injecting a fat-dissolving solution directly into targeted fat deposits, eliminating the need for incisions, general anesthesia, or extensive recovery periods associated with surgical procedures.

Once injected, Aqualyx disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cells to release their fatty content. The body then naturally eliminates the released fat through the lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Aqualyx fat dissolving injections are becoming increasingly popular because it provides a less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction and less downtime and risks..

How many sessions are needed?

Patients typically require multiple sessions to achieve their desired results, with treatments spaced several weeks apart to allow the body time to process and remove the dissolved fat.

Each session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, but depends on the size and number of areas being treated.

The most popular body areas for fat dissolving

The most popular target areas for fat dissolving treatments like Aqualyx are:

1. Chin (Double Chin): A double chin can be a bothersome cosmetic concern and is one of the most commonly treated areas. Fat dissolving injections can be used to eliminate fat cells under the chin, resulting in a reduced double chin, a more defined jawline and a slimmer facial profile.

2. Abdomen: This is another popular area for both men and women who want to target stubborn belly fat that doesn’t respond well to diet and exercise. Fat dissolving injections can help reduce the appearance of belly fat (especially for women after menopause) and create a more toned stomach.

3. Thighs: Both the inner and outer thighs are frequently treated to achieve a more contoured leg shape, reduce thigh fat and improve the appearance of cellulite.

4. Flanks (Love Handles): The fat deposits around the waist, commonly known as love handles, are often treated to create a smoother, more streamlined waistline.

5. Arms (Bingo wings) : Fat dissolving treatments can reduce excess fat in the upper arms, often referred to as “bat wings,” or "bingo wings" to create more sculpted arms.

6. Back: Particularly the upper and lower back, where fat can create bulges that are difficult to eliminate through normal weight loss methods.

 

Essential facts to know before getting fat dissolving treatment

Please note that fat dissolving injections are not a weight-loss solution. They are best used for targeting small areas of stubborn fat that do not respond well to diet and exercise.

Here are some essential facts to know before getting fat dissolving injections:

• Gradual results: Don't expect immediate or next day results. It can take weeks to see visible reduction, and multiple sessions (2-3) are usually needed for optimal results. This treatment works best for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with specific areas of fat.
  
  
• Potential side effects: While this is generally non-invasive and low risk treatment, swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common after treatment. More serious side effects are rare, but consulting a well qualified professional (like at Stangrove) for this treatment is crucial.
  
  
• Permanent results: Once targeted fat cells are destroyed by Aqualyx, they're gone for good. However, weight gain can still lead to fat accumulation in other areas.
