What is Fat Dissolving?
At Achieve Aesthetics we work with Aqualyx fat dissolving injections. Aqualyx is a non-surgical treatment for reducing small, localized pockets of fat. It involves the injection of a solution containing deoxycholic acid, a substance that is naturally produced by the body to help break down and absorb dietary fat.
The solution is injected into the targeted area using a very fine needle, and works by causing the fat cells to break down and be removed from the body through the lymphatic system. The treatment is typically used to reduce fat in areas such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, and hips.
Aqualyx is considered a safe and effective alternative to liposuction for those who are not good candidates for surgery, or who prefer a non-invasive approach. However, like any medical procedure, there are some risks and potential side effects, so it’s important to discuss the treatment thoroughly with one of our qualified practitioners before proceeding with treatment.
