Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections at Laser & Skin Belfast: Targeted Fat Reduction Without Surgery

Stubborn pockets of fat can be frustrating — especially when they don’t respond to healthy eating or regular exercise. At Laser & Skin Belfast, we offer Aqualyx fat dissolving injections, a non-surgical treatment designed to contour small, resistant areas of fat safely and effectively.

Aqualyx is ideal for sculpting and refining body areas where fat naturally accumulates, giving you subtle, natural-looking improvements without downtime.

What Is Aqualyx?

Aqualyx is an injectable fat-dissolving solution formulated to target and break down localised fat deposits. It contains deoxycholic acid — a compound that helps the body naturally absorb and eliminate fat cells.

It is best suited for small, defined areas and is not a weight-loss treatment. It is a contouring treatment for clients who already maintain a stable weight but want refinement in specific areas.

Areas Aqualyx Can Treat

Aqualyx can be used on many areas where stubborn fat sits, including:

• Chin / double chin

• Jawline

• Jowls

• Stomach (small pockets)

• Love handles

• Upper arms

• Bra fat

• Inner thighs

• Outer thighs

• Knees

How Does Aqualyx Work?

Once injected into the targeted pocket of fat, Aqualyx:

1. Breaks down the fat cell membrane

2. Liquefies the fat

3. Allows the body to naturally flush the dissolved fat through the lymphatic system

Results develop gradually over several weeks as the body processes the treated fat.

What to Expect During Treatment

Consultation

We discuss your goals, assess the treatment area, and determine if Aqualyx is suitable.

The Procedure

• The area is marked and cleaned

• A local anaesthetic is used for comfort

• Aqualyx is injected directly into the fat pocket using a fine needle or cannula

• The procedure is generally quick, depending on the treatment area

Most clients say the discomfort is minimal.

After the Treatment

It is normal to experience:

• Swelling

• Tenderness

• Bruising

• A warm or firm feeling in the area

Swelling can be significant for chin and jawline treatments, and this is expected.

These effects settle naturally over a few days to a couple of weeks.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Most clients need 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on:

• The area treated

• The amount of fat present

• Your individual response to the treatment

Some small areas, such as the chin, may need only 1–2 sessions.

When Will I See Results?

Changes begin to become noticeable around 3–4 weeks after treatment and continue improving over several weeks as your body eliminates the dissolved fat.

Final results appear after 6–8 weeks.

Aftercare Advice

To support your results and healing:

• Avoid touching or rubbing the area

• Keep the area clean

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms or heat treatments for 72 hours

• Stay hydrated to support lymphatic drainage

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours

• You may gently massage the area if advised

We provide tailored aftercare based on the area treated.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Aqualyx is suitable for:

• Healthy adults

• Those with small, localised fat pockets

• Individuals close to their ideal weight

• Those wanting subtle, natural contouring

It is not suitable for weight loss, large areas of fat, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or certain medical conditions. We assess suitability at your consultation.
