TOA CLINIC LONDON, offers a variety of lipolytic injections for permanent fat dissolving. We can either inject Aqualyx, or an alternative cocktail solution which includes skin tightening and circulation benefits. Both will remove the stubborn fat that you want to get rid of, however, having a bespoke cocktail, will ensure that swelling goes down quicker, and that the skin will be a little tighter than if you used Aqualyx alone. Both contain a solution from the deoxycholate family.

​

Aqualyx® is a compound solution from the deoxycholate family that has been physically modified and, by creating a slow release sugar-based system, the biological half-life is reduced which results in minimal side effects.

​

Aqualyx® is a very valuable addition to the range of treatments we can offer clients for the removal of stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet or exercise. It’s a minimally invasive option that patients tolerate well with impressive results.

​

Developed by renowned aesthetic surgeon the late Professor Motolese, Aqualyx® has been available internationally since 2009, and over 2,000,000 vials have been used for patient treatments in 49 countries worldwide.

​

Professor Motolose developed a technique, for the treatment known as ‘Aqualysis ™’ or ‘Aquaplasty™’ and a precise protocol is followed. Aqualysis™ or Aquaplasty™ consists of depositing the solution into localised areas of fat such as saddle bags, thighs, stomachs, chins and knees. It can also be used to treat pseudo-gynocomastia in men. Aqualyx® liquefies the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

Aqualysis™ can be used in conjunction with an ultrasound device to assist in the dissipation of Aqualyx® throughout the localised fat cells.

​

THE TREATMENT

​

The treatment should only be performed by trained professionals holding a diploma specifically or Aqualyx.

Typically, two treatments are required for each area being treated; patients report good tolerance of the treatment. 

The treatment will be repeated between two and eight times depending on the number of small pockets of fat tissue to be reduced. The treatment is repeated every three to four weeks. 

​

After each treatment patients can expect some swelling, redness and skin irritation and tenderness in the area treated, which will subside after four to six days.

​

Contraindications: pregnancy and lactation, liposdystrophy, pathological conditions and for those under 18 years or over 60 years.
