WHY DOESN'T DIETING AND GYMING ALWAYS WORK?
You pay close attention to a wholesome lifestyle by exercising regularly and eating healthy, yet that one pad of fat that troubles you most will not disappear? The cause for this lies within our genetics and the special structure of our fat cells in certain areas. The human body naturally stores fat in order to supply energy in times of restraint. Fat cells located in the subcutaneous fat tissue are difficult to diminish, as only their contents and overall volume can be altered, but not the fat cells themselves. The particular fat cells cannot be reduced and continuously serve as a reliable depot for the body to store fat.
HOW DOES AQUALYX WORK?
AQUALYX contains deoxycholic acid, a secondary bile acid. With the assistance of bacteria our body is able to produce this acid itself in the liver in order to aid the digestion of fat. The fat-dissolving effect of this acid was utilised by Prof. Pasquale Motolese, the inventor of AQUALYX, who developed a synthetically manufactured variant. The active substance locks on to the the fat cell membrane and starts to operate, resulting in the cell membrane becoming unstable and releasing the fatty acid that is stored within. Cell residue is removed by the body’s defences and the non-attached fatty acids are metabolised and converted into energy.

WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH AQUALYX?
Used for the dissolution of fat depots, AQUALYX can be administered anywhere on the body that there is a distinct collection of fat e.g. Double chin, upper arms, waist, hips, saddle bags, augmented fat depots located on buttocks, chest and the inner thighs.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
The number of treatments varies according to the desired degree of reduction, the dimensions of the fat depot and the individual reactions of the fat tissue. On average you will have to expect around 3 to 5 appointments, with 4-6 week intervals, until you can actually perceive the results. A treatment with AQUALYX does not result in weight loss. Healthy nutrition as well as an exercise regimen are an absolute necessity to ensure success of the treatment.
HOW IS THE TREATMENT DONE?
Using thin, flexible cannulas (blunt thin tubes), AQUALYX is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat tissue. The treatment is
virtually pain free, as fat tissue is almost free of sensation and the AQUALYX is mixed with an additional local anaesthetic.
Immediately after the injection the affected area may redden and swell to a slight degree. As with any treatment
with a hypodermic needle, bruising might develop. All these are expected side effects that settle within a few days after the treatment.

WHAT ABOUT AFTER THE TREATMENT?
Do not apply any cosmetics onto the treated area within the following 12 hours and avoid all direct sources of heat and radiation (sunlight, UV-radiation, sauna etc.). Furthermore you should abstain from particularly demanding physical exercise for 7 days. As the released fatty acids are converted into additional energy, it is especially important that you keep a strict and healthy diet, otherwise your body will simply store the fat in an alternative fat depot elsewhere on your body.
WHEN IS TREATMENT NOT RECOMMENDED?
AQUALYX is not recommended when the patient is suffering from acute or chronic skin diseases in the affected area. For safety reasons all patients with a medical history including anaphylactic reactions, severe allergies, severe organic or physical illnesses, autoimmune diseases or diabetes, as well as women who are pregnant or breast feeding are excluded from any treatments.
