Aqualyx is a non-surgical treatment developed for the safe and effective elimination of small areas of localized fat that resist diet and exercise. It is especially popular for areas such as the double chin, arms, flanks, abdomen, and thighs.
The active substance in Aqualyx is deoxycholic acid, a natural compound produced by our body that helps digest and eliminate fat. When injected directly into fat cells (adipose tissue), deoxycholic acid destroys the membrane of these cells, releasing the fat, which is then naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system and the body's metabolism.
Aqualyx is appropriate and approved for medical use, with strict protocols to ensure patient safety.
Unlike invasive treatments, it does not require general anesthesia, incisions, or long recovery times.
The most common side effects are temporary and mild, such as redness, swelling, or local sensitivity, usually disappearing within a few days.
Numerous scientific studies validate the effectiveness of deoxycholic acid for localized fat reduction:
These data confirm that Aqualyx is a valid, safe, and effective medical solution for those seeking to contour localized fat without surgery.
