Fat dissolving injections — commonly known by the brand name Aqualyx — are a non-surgical body contouring treatment that targets and permanently eliminates localised pockets of stubborn fat.
Aqualyx works by injecting a CE-marked aqueous solution directly into the fat deposit. The solution contains ingredients that bind to fat cell walls, rupturing them and releasing the fat to be dissolved and expelled naturally by the body. Once those fat cells are gone, they don’t come back — as long as a stable weight is maintained, results are permanent.
This is not a weight loss treatment. Aqualyx is designed for patients who are already at or close to their target weight but have specific areas of stubborn fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise — the double chin, lower stomach, love handles, inner thighs, and upper arms. These pockets of fat are often genetic and notoriously resistant to lifestyle changes. Aqualyx removes them permanently, without liposuction.
All fat dissolving treatments at Apsaras Aesthetic Clinic in Coventry are administered by Dr Thevendra, an experienced aesthetic doctor with over a decade of practice.
Aqualyx uses a slow-release form of deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring bile acid — combined with buffer agents that make it gentler than comparable treatments, while remaining highly effective for larger areas or multiple treatment zones.
When injected into the fat tissue, the solution disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cell to break down. The released fatty acids are then processed and expelled by the body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks. The process is gradual — which is why results develop over several weeks after each session rather than immediately.
Because the fat cells themselves are permanently destroyed rather than shrunk, the results are lasting. Weight gain after treatment distributes evenly across the body rather than returning specifically to treated areas.
Most clients require between 2 to 4 sessions, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Smaller areas like the chin may need fewer sessions, while larger areas such as the abdomen may benefit from a full course for optimal contouring results.
Yes — once the targeted fat cells are broken down and eliminated, they do not return. However, maintaining results depends on your lifestyle; a balanced diet and regular exercise are key to preventing new fat deposits from forming.
Aqualyx injections are generally well-tolerated. A local anaesthetic can be added to the solution to minimise any discomfort during treatment. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness or warmth in the treated area afterwards — all normal signs that the solution is working.
You may start to notice changes within 3 to 4 weeks as your body naturally removes the dissolved fat. The full effect becomes visible after the complete course of treatments and once the body’s lymphatic system has fully processed the eliminated fat cells.
