    Information and Consent For Aqualyx

    “A new and exciting safe and minimally invasive approach to dissolving


    localised pockets of fat.”

    What is Aqualyx?

    Aqualyx™ contains desoxycholan-acid, a secondary bile acid, which the body


    naturally produces itself in the liver to aid the digestion of fat. The injectable solution
    is synthesised to dissolve topical fat upon injection into the localised area.

    How does it work?

    The human body naturally stores fat in order to supply energy and subcutaneous fat
    cells are difficult to diminish. The active substance in Aqualyx locks into the cell wall
    making it unstable and releasing the fatty acid that is stored within it. Cell residue is
    removed and broken down by the body’s defences and the released fatty acids are
    converted to energy.

    What will Aqualyx treatment feel like?

    The treatment area will be cleaned and topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort.
    The solution will be injected using a fine and flexible cannula, with minimal injection
    points (1-4). The area will feel warm and you may experience a slight burning or
    stinging sensation. Aqualyx contains local anaesthetic so is a comfortable procedure
    to have.

    How long will my results last?

    By following a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and healthy living the fat should
    not return in that area.

    How many treatments will I need?

    Number of treatments varies according to the amount of fat and desired result, on
    average you will be expected to have 3-5 treatments at 3-4 weekly intervals or longer
    depending on residual swelling and tenderness.

    What areas of the body can be treated? Safely administrated to any localised
    deposit of fat

    double Chin waist saddle bags chest


    jowls & Side of Chin Hip knees inner thights
    upper arms back buttocks
    What are the possible risks and complications involved?

    Allergic Reaction to the substance


    Minor haematoma from injection
    Mild generalised bruising and redness
    Swelling to area injected
    Possible injection site infection
    Poor results

    What do I need to do after my treatment?

    Do not apply cosmetics to treated area for 12 hours following treatment. Avoid direct
    sources of heat and sunlight whilst inflamed. Abstain from demanding exercise for 5-7
    days. Maintain a healthy diet while released fat is being metabolised to avoid fat
    storage elsewhere. Drink plenty of fluids following treatment and avoid alcohol/non-
    steroidal anti-inflammatory medication or aspirin for 24 hours.

    Contra indications for treatment

    Pregnancy and breast feeding


    Severe anaphylactic reactions and allergies
    Auto-immune disease
    Diabetics
    Acute or chronic skin disease in affected areas
    Area unsuitable for treatment (alternative treatment options can be recommended)
    Blood thinning medications.

    Please advise your doctor or Aesthetic Nurse if you have any forthcoming social
    engagements so a personal evaluation can be made as to any possible downtime
    associated with the treatment that could impact on your enjoyment of the event.
    Every individual can react differently to treatment so it is important to alert your
    practitioner.
