Targeted treatment. A more refined contour.

Small pockets of fat can remain even when your weight is stable and you maintain an active lifestyle. At DermaSkinUK, injectable fat-reduction treatments offer a targeted approach to reducing localised fullness and refining the contours of suitable areas.

Aqualyx is an injectable treatment used for localised fat reduction. It works by disrupting fat-cell membranes in the treated area, allowing the body to gradually process and clear the released contents. Changes develop over time as the area settles.

Treatment may help to:

• Reduce suitable, localised pockets of fat.

• Improve definition in selected areas.

• Create a more balanced body contour without surgery.

Fat-reduction injections are intended for contouring rather than weight loss. They do not treat obesity, and they may be unsuitable where loose skin is the main concern.

Your experience begins with a complimentary consultation. We assess the area, your skin elasticity, medical history and desired outcome before discussing whether treatment is appropriate. We also explain the likely number of sessions, anticipated costs and alternatives, so you can make an informed decision.

During your appointment, the area is prepared and the product is carefully injected into the targeted fatty tissue. You may experience stinging, warmth or discomfort. Comfort measures and what to expect will be discussed beforehand.

Swelling is expected and can be noticeable, temporarily making the treated area appear larger. Bruising, redness, tenderness and temporary firmness or numbness may also occur. Recovery varies, so it is sensible to allow time before important events. Less common complications include infection, persistent lumps, uneven results and damage to the skin or nearby nerves. Your practitioner will explain the relevant risks and provide personalised aftercare.

Results emerge over the following weeks, and several sessions may be needed, with time between appointments for recovery and assessment. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results, although future weight changes and natural ageing can alter the treated area.

At DermaSkinUK, our focus is thoughtful treatment planning and realistic, proportionate improvements that respect your natural shape.
