Aqualyx®
It is being marketed for ‘Aqualysis’ or ‘Aquaplasty’ treatment as a means of body contouring. The technique was developed by a renowned aesthetic surgeon, the late Professor Motolese. Aqualyx® has been available internationally since 2009, and more than 2,000,000 vials have been used for patient treatments in 49 countries worldwide.
Aqualyx® injections are very effective and a non-invasive treatment option for face and body sculpting. It treats localised pockets of fat such as on the thighs, stomach, buttocks, chin and knee. It can also be used to treat pseudo-gynecomastia in men. Aqualyx® liquefies the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.
It takes 30–60 minutes per session, and multiple sessions are usually needed. If you prefer to avoid invasive surgery and cannot afford the downtime and discomfort of invasive procedure such as liposuction, this is an excellent treatment to consider to sculpt your body.
Aqualysis™ can be used in conjunction with an ultrasound device to assist in the dissipation of Aqualyx® throughout the localised fat cells.
