Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Treatment

Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections to Remove Stubborn Fat

Concerned about stubborn fat pockets that just won’t budge, even if you stick to a clean diet and exercise? It’s common, especially as we age. But thankfully, a treatment exists that can help: Aqualyx.

Aqualyx is an injectable compound made of deoxycholic acid that destroys stubborn fat in the body (including the face). As a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment, it uses injections to dissolve localised fat pockets, helping contour specific areas and refine your shape over time.

Aqualyx is a clinically recognised

Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections reduce small pockets of fat that haven’t responded to diet or exercise. Containing a solution based on deoxycholic acid (a molecule that breaks down fat cell membranes), Aqualyx triggers a process in which your body gradually removes damaged fat cells through its natural metabolic processes.

However, Aqualyx should not be relied on as a weight-loss solution alone. It’s recommended when patients want to refine specific areas of their body, even when stubborn fat persists despite commitment to exercise and lifestyle changes.

Who this treatment is for

Our practitioners will likely recommend Aqualyx for patients who:

• Have small to moderate pockets of stubborn fat that won’t go away
• Want a non-surgical treatment option with a quick recovery
• Are close to their ideal body weight but want refinement in specific areas
• Are bothered by a double chin, ‘bra bulge’, tummy rolls, or thigh fullness
• Want to enhance body shape with a natural-looking result

Common stubborn areas we can target:

• Lower tummy “pooch” after pregnancy
• Fat that sits just below the belly button and won’t shift
• Post-C-section shelf (where fat sits above the scar line)
• Love handles that linger despite weight loss
• double chin that doesn’t respond to diet
• Soft fullness along the jawline

Aqualyx Fat Dissolving treatment process

As with all our treatments at Aventis, your treatment journey starts with a consultation with Dr Imogen to discuss your goals and assess your suitability. This initial consultation is free. Dr Imogen will always take before-and-after photos so you can see and track your progress.

1. We will clean the area or areas being treated and apply a local anaesthetic.
2. Dr Imogen will gently and precisely apply the solution to the chosen area (chin, jowls, upper arms and stomach/hips).
3. Each session usually lasts 20-30 minutes, depending on the area size.
4. The treatment consists of 3-5 sessions, spaced 6 weeks apart.

After treatment, you can typically resume daily activities straight away. Minor swelling, redness, or tenderness are common and usually resolve within a few days.

Benefits of Aqualyx

• Non-surgical body contouring without incisions or general anaesthesia

I can’t recommend Aventis highly enough! Sena was fantastic with my Moxi skin treatment, Dr. Jonathan has guided me through Invisalign exceptionally, and Dr. Childers was brilliant with my daughter at her first dental appointment on the island.

From the moment you walk in until you leave, the service is exceptional. A wonderful team and my go-to clinic in Cayman!

I had an emergency appointment after a tooth broke. Adventis made a horrific experience as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!

Sooze is an exceptional dental hygienist. In addition to her excellent technical skills, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of her subject area.

I had such a lovely experience with my hygienist Sooze today! The appointment felt more like a spa treatment than a dental visit. The heated neck cushion was such a lovely touch, and the whole experience was so relaxing and completely pain-free. It was a real treat rather than just a dental appointment, and I left feeling great. Such a lovely approach to dental hygiene — highly recommend!

The very best! From the US and was unsure I’d find a place on the island I trusted for laser treatment. The best experience I’ve had (including in the US) is here.. couldn’t recommend more

Dr. Imogen is an absolute godsend and truly knows how to make magic happen! She is so talented, and the entire team is absolutely lovely. Everyone went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and cared for.

Such an amazing experience from start to finish. I can’t wait to be back! ✨🤍
