Aqualyx Fat-Dissolving Injections

Targeted reduction for stubborn pockets.

Aqualyx Fat-Dissolving Injections at Face Nuvo Clinic

Aqualyx is an injectable solution that breaks down localised fat cells permanently. Useful for areas that don't respond to diet and exercise — under-chin, jowl, bra-line, flanks, inner thigh. Multiple sessions are needed; each session reduces volume gradually. Best for clients within 5–10kg of their target weight, not as a primary weight-loss tool.

What to expect.

The area is numbed, then a series of small injections are placed in a grid pattern through the fat layer. Stinging, then warmth, then mild burning that settles within 20 minutes. Significant swelling and tenderness for 3–5 days afterwards is expected and normal — the inflammation IS how the fat breaks down. Compression garment helpful for body areas; under-chin clients often plan around a quiet weekend.

Results timeline.

Visible reduction starts at week 3 as the body clears the broken-down fat cells. Most clients see meaningful change after sessions two to three. A typical course is 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart depending on area size and starting volume. Results are permanent — once a fat cell is dissolved it doesn't return — but remaining cells can still expand with weight gain.

Session spacing:Every 4–6 weeks across a 3–6 session course

Questions, answered.

What areas can I choose for Aqualyx Fat-Dissolving Injections?

One large area per session — common choices are back, chest, stomach, half-legs, or arms. Smaller focused areas (one shoulder, one hip, a specific scar) work too; Emily prices by area size, not a fixed menu. If you're unsure which area needs the work most, message her a photo beforehand and she'll suggest where to start.

Does it hurt?

Aqualyx Fat-Dissolving Injections uses firm pressure and targeted product work — it's assertive, not painful. Expect some warmth and mild redness for a few hours. Areas with active acne or raised scarring are treated more gently; Emily reads the skin as she goes and adjusts. If anything feels sharp rather than firm, say so and pressure eases immediately.

Can I combine Aqualyx Fat-Dissolving Injections with a facial?

Yes — and you save £5 when you book them together. They work well paired because the body treatment handles texture and scarring while the facial addresses the face's own concerns. Total time is usually around 100 minutes. Book the facial second if you want to finish relaxed; book the body treatment second if you'd rather save the more assertive work for when your skin is already warm.

What should I avoid after?

Skip the sauna, steam room, and hot baths for 24 hours — treated skin is more sensitive to heat. Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for a week (cover with clothing or SPF 50). No harsh exfoliants at home for 5–7 days; gentle cleansing and a fragrance-free moisturiser only. Normal activity and gym from 24 hours on.

How often should I book?

For active concerns like body acne or stubborn scarring, every 4–6 weeks across a three-month run builds visible change. For general maintenance (smooth texture, pre-holiday, pre-event), once every 8–12 weeks is enough. One-off bookings work for a specific reason (upcoming trip, photoshoot, wedding); regular bookings deliver more.

Should I change my at-home routine between sessions?

Usually yes — Emily will suggest a simple three-product routine (cleanse, treat, moisturise) to maintain results between visits. Nothing complicated; no affiliate upsell. If you're already using products that work for you, she'll tell you which to keep and which to adjust. The treatment does 60% of the work; home care does the rest.

Will this clear my body acne or scarring completely?

Honest answer: Aqualyx Fat-Dissolving Injections visibly improves texture and tone and makes existing acne heal faster. It doesn't cure hormonally-driven active acne — that needs GP input alongside treatment work. For post-acne scarring (hyperpigmentation, rough texture), expect 40–70% visible improvement across a 4-session course, with continued fading in the months after. Ice-pick or deep rolling scars need different tools; Emily will tell you at consultation if you'd be better served elsewhere.
