What is Aqualyx® and How Does it Help Dissolve Fat?
Aqualyx® is a clinically proven, non-surgical injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring compound that helps break down and absorb fat cells. It is specifically designed to target small, stubborn areas of localised fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
By dissolving fat cells in the treated area, Aqualyx® helps to refine body contours and improve the appearance of problem areas. The treatment is minimally invasive, performed with expert precision, and allows patients to return to normal activities quickly.
Aqualyx® is ideal for those who:
- Have localised pockets of fat that are difficult to shift through diet and exercise.
- Wish to enhance body contours without surgery.
- Prefer a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution with gradual, natural-looking results.
Benefits of using Aqualyx for Fat Dissolving
Aqualyx® provides a range of benefits in fat dissolving treatments, including:
- Targets Stubborn Fat: Effectively reduces localised fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise.
- Sculpts and Contours: Enhances body shape by refining areas like the chin, abdomen, or thighs.
- Non-Surgical Solution: Achieve fat reduction without the need for invasive procedures.
- Minimal Downtime: Resume daily activities quickly after the treatment.
1. Consultation:
Dr Hasaneen Al Janabi assesses your areas of concern, body composition, and aesthetic goals to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Preparation & Treatment:
On the day, the area is gently cleansed. Using expert injection techniques, Aqualyx® is administered into the targeted fat deposits. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes 30–45 minutes, depending on the number and size of areas treated.
3. Recovery:
Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur but usually resolves within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately.
4. Aftercare:
Following treatment, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise or pressure on the treated area for 24–48 hours, gently massage the area if recommended, and follow any additional guidance provided by your practitioner to optimise results and ensure a smooth recovery.
5. Follow-Up:
Results are gradual and natural, typically appearing over 4–6 weeks as the fat cells are broken down and removed by the body. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal contouring, depending on the size and location of the treated area.

Fat Dissolving vs Fat Freezing: What's the Difference?
Fat dissolving and fat freezing are often confused because both target stubborn fat without surgery, but they work in entirely different ways.
- Fat dissolving (Aqualyx®) uses injections of deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells directly, which are then processed and eliminated by the body’s own lymphatic system.
- Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) uses external cooling applied to the skin’s surface to crystallise fat cells, which are then broken down over several weeks.
Because Aqualyx® is injected precisely into the target area, it suits smaller, more defined pockets of fat, such as the chin, jawline, or localised areas on the abdomen and flanks, where accuracy matters. Fat freezing is generally better suited to larger, flatter areas of the body.
Dr Hasaneen Al Janabi will confirm which approach is right for your anatomy and goals at consultation.

FAQs
Does Aqualyx® work?
Yes. Aqualyx® is clinically proven to reduce localised fat deposits by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This results in more sculpted, contoured, and toned areas.
How many sessions of Aqualyx® will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the size and location of the treated area and individual response. Most patients achieve optimal results with 2–4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, as advised by Dr Hass during your consultation.
How quickly does Aqualyx® work?
Results are gradual and natural, becoming noticeable within 2–4 weeks. Full results may take up to 12 weeks, as the body processes and eliminates the dissolved fat cells.
Are fat dissolving results permanent?
The fat cells destroyed by treatment are removed permanently and don’t regenerate. However, remaining fat cells nearby can still expand if you gain weight, so maintaining a stable, healthy lifestyle is what keeps your results looking their best long term.
Can Aqualyx® be used on different areas of the body?
Yes. Aqualyx® is suitable for small, stubborn areas of localised fat such as the chin, jawline, upper arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Each area is assessed individually to create a personalised treatment plan.
Are fat dissolving injections safe?
Yes. When administered by an experienced medical professional, Aqualyx® is generally safe and well-tolerated. Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur temporarily. Rare complications are minimised through thorough consultation and expert injection techniques.
How much does Aqualyx® cost?
At Dr Hass Clinic, prices for fat dissolving injections (Aqualyx®) start from £300. Final pricing depends on the size and number of areas treated. A personalised estimate is provided during your consultation.
