Treatments
Aqualyx
AQUALYX is designed to breakdown localized fat beneath the skin's surface, targeting areas like the back, chin, stomach, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, and addressing pseudo-gynaecomastia in men—a condition where fatty tissue around the nipple creates a breast-like appearance due to weight gain.
How does it work?
What happens during treatment?
One AQUALYX treatment typically consists of several injection sites. The practitioner will add the lidocaine anaesthetic to the AQUALYX solution so that the two are injected together. This should minimise discomfort during the procedure.
Treatment regime
The time taken for a treatment session will depend upon the size of the area and the indication being treated. Treatment can take between 30 – 60 minutes per treatment and you will typically require 2 – 8 treatments, 4 weeks apart. Some people may see significant results after 1 or 2 sessions. Treatment for fat pockets underneath the neck and chin, for example, may require 1 – 3 treatments, while treatment for fat pockets on the hips and thighs may require 8 treatments.
AQUALYX should only be used by fully trained medical professionals.
The results of an AQUALYX treatment are permanent under the condition of maintaining a constant weight measurement (i.e. assuming you don`t gain weight). Once the freed fatty acids have been processed through the body’s lymphatic system, they don’t reappear. However, the procedure is only permanent if you follow a healthy diet and exercise frequently following treatment. If you regain weight, it is likely that the fat pockets will reappear. If a healthy lifestyle is maintained, the results should be permanent.
Not to be used in
As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the area treated, there are few medical reasons why you should not undergo this treatment. However, AQUALYX is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also not recommended for those people who have been diagnosed with lipodystrophy or any pathological conditions.
It should only be used in people aged 18 – 60
What our customers say about us.
I would trust Lou implicitly and am always open to suggestions as I believe she is the most knowledgeable aesthetician in the U.K. always ahead of the curve with new technologies but only the ones she actually believes work.

Always a first class experience when visiting Cosmex Clinic. Professional all the way. I wouldn’t go anywhere else even if I moved away from the area. I’m 65 years old and thanks to Lou I’m holding my own in the younger look!
