Aqualyx Injection Treatment in Dubai

Aqualyx injection, an aqueous solution of deoxycholic acid, reduces excess localized fat deposits under the skin that persist despite exercise and a restricted diet. This treatment is also called Aqualysis or Aquaplasty and is designed to sculpt the body’s contours by chemically breaking down excess fat, which is then naturally eliminated by the body. Aqualyx injection in Dubai is suitable for for many individuals.

Treatment Areas

Aqualyx injections are versatile and can target multiple body areas, such as the:

• Chin.
• Neck.
• Arms.
• Stomach.
• Back.
• Hips.
• Waistline.
• Buttocks.
• Outer and inner thighs.
• Knees.

Aqualyx Candidates

You might be considered an ideal candidate for Aqualyx injections in Dubai if you have:

• Small localized fat deposits
• You are close to your ideal weight and are between the ages of 18 to 60 years, although exceptions may apply based on individual health assessments.
• Prefer a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures for fat reduction.
• Have no known allergies to the ingredients in Aqualyx solution, as assessed by a healthcare provider.
• Individuals should not have any serious medical conditions, like diabetes, liver, or kidney disease, among others, to be considered for Aqualyx injections—subject to a comprehensive medical evaluation.
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding, as these conditions contraindicate Aqualyx treatments for safety reasons.

Aqualyx Preparation

You will be given a list of instructions to follow in order to prepare for the Aqualyx treatment. Some of the common instructions are;

• Avoid taking blood thinning or anti-inflammatory medicines for at least a week before the treatment, or as prescribed by the doctor.
• Wear loose clothing on the day of your treatment to ensure comfort and ease of access to the treatment area.
• Take any pain medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider
• Follow the instructions given by your doctor.

Aqualyx Procedure

It is a safe and simple procedure but it should only be performed by an expert medical aesthetician. A local anesthetic is administered to make the procedure comfortable for you. The treatment area is marked where injections are supposed to be made. A specially designed, very fine needle (cannula) is used for precision and to minimize discomfort during the injection process. Typically, the procedure involves two injections at two different sites, although this may vary based on the size and location of the treatment area, as determined by the practitioner. The injections target fat cells, leading to their breakdown. The byproducts are then processed by the body and eventually excreted, primarily through the urinary system. A complete Aqualyx treatment plan typically involves multiple sessions, scheduled at intervals of two or more weeks apart, depending on your specific case and the practitioner’s assessment.

Aqualyx Recovery

Post-treatment, Aqualyx generally allows for a quick return to daily activities, with minimal downtime expected.

• You can go home right after the treatment, no stay is required at the hospital.
• You may experience mild to moderate swelling and bruising in the treated area; the extent can vary based on individual reactions.
• You might feel tightness in the treated skin area.

Aqualyx Aftercare

While the Aqualyx procedure is straightforward, adhering to aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal results and recovery. These aftercare instructions include;

• You will be asked to avoid strenuous exercises for a week.
• You should wear a compression garment as it helps in minimizing swelling.
• After the procedure, you should avoid blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medications for a week, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.
• To facilitate healing and minimize the risk of complications, avoid excessive sun exposure following the treatment, as per your practitioner’s advice.
• If you experience any unexpected symptoms or have concerns following the treatment, it is crucial to consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Aqualyx Results

Once injected, the Aqualyx solution begins the process of breaking down fat cells, a process that unfolds over time and varies from person to person. However, it will take some time before you can experience the final results. While the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated, new fat can accumulate if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained, potentially affecting the long-term results.
