Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections in Cambridge
Even with a healthy lifestyle, some areas just don’t shift. Whether it’s fullness under the chin, stubborn fat on the thighs, or small bulges around the waist, Aqualyx offers a non-surgical solution that:
- Breaks down localised fat safely and effectively
- Refines body contour without the need for liposuction
- Works on common trouble spots like chin, stomach, hips, and arms
- Delivers visible results within weeks
Clinically researched and medically evidenced – in use since 2002
Non-surgical alternative to liposuction for localised fat reduction
Versatile – effective on multiple body and facial areas
Tailored – treatment plans designed around your individual goals
Aqualyx is a gel-based injectable solution containing deoxycholic acid, a compound that helps dissolve fat cells. Once treated, the fat cells break down and are naturally eliminated by the body. The treatment is carried out with precision to reshape and refine problem areas while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
- Double chin / jowls
- Stomach
- Inner and outer thighs
- Hips and flanks (“love handles”)
- Knees
- Upper arms (“bingo wings”)
- Back
Most clients need 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for best results. Some cases may require up to 8 sessions, depending on the area and amount of fat. Results are usually long-lasting if a stable weight is maintained
Is this treatment right for you?
Great if you want to:

- Refine facial or body contour without surgery
- Choose a clinically tested fat dissolving treatment with a proven safety record
Not suitable if you:

1. Free Consultation
We discuss your goals, assess the treatment area, and explain expected results.
2. Treatment
Numbing cream is applied, then Aqualyx is carefully injected into the target area. The procedure takes around 30–60 minutes depending on the size of the area.
3. Recovery & Results
Swelling and tenderness are normal for a few days, with results becoming visible within 4–6 weeks as the body clears the dissolved fat.

Most clients notice improvements within 4–6 weeks of the first treatment, with results building across your treatment course.
Some clients find body areas uncomfortable, while facial areas are generally less so. Numbing cream is always applied to minimise discomfort.
Yes. Aqualyx has been in clinical use since 2002 and is backed by medical research showing its safety and effectiveness. It is CE-marked for use in the UK.
Once fat cells are dissolved, they do not return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight is important to prevent new fat cells enlarging.
- Expect swelling, tenderness, or bruising for 3–5 days (face usually settles more quickly)
- Small lumps under the skin may form but resolve naturally within a few weeks
- Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming for 3–5 days
- Keep the area clean and avoid pressing or massaging unless advised
When it comes to your safety and results, I believe in using only treatments with proven clinical evidence. Aqualyx has been trusted in medical aesthetics for over 20 years and continues to be the gold standard in fat-dissolving injections. By choosing a treatment that is both clinically backed and carefully tailored to your body, you can feel confident that your results will be natural, safe, and long lasting.
I don’t offer Lemon Bottle because it is not a CE-marked medical device and currently has no published clinical studies to support its safety or effectiveness. It is marketed as a cosmetic product rather than a licensed medical treatment, which means it has not been through the same rigorous testing or regulatory checks required for medical-grade injectables. For me, patient safety always comes first, so I only use treatments that are backed by strong clinical evidence and recognised regulatory approval.
