✨ Permanently dissolve stubborn fat on your stomach or large body areas with a clinically-established injection treatment.
How it works:
A specially formulated solution is injected directly into fat cells, breaking down their walls so the released fat is cleared naturally through your lymphatic system.
Who it's for:
People with stubborn fat pockets on the stomach, flanks, back, hips, or thighs that won't shift with diet and exercise
Those near their ideal weight wanting contouring, not weight loss
Anyone prepared for noticeable swelling as part of the process
The benefits:
Permanently destroys treated fat cells — they don't grow back
Targets exactly where you want it, sculpting your natural shape
Long-lasting results if you maintain a stable weight
CE-marked medical device with established safety profile
Works on large areas like stomach, back, thighs and hips

Full consultation and assessment of your target area
Grid-mapped micro-injection technique across the treatment zone
Up to 40ml of Aqualyx solution applied per session
Optional numbing for comfort during the procedure

What to expect:
Typically 4–8 sessions for large areas, spaced 4 weeks apart
First visible changes from 3 weeks, peak results 6–8 weeks after your final session
Results last indefinitely with stable weight
💡 The pronounced swelling you experience is actually the treatment working — your immune system flooding the area to clear the destroyed fat cells.
Common questions
Is there any downtime?
You'll typically have noticeable swelling for two to seven days, peaking around day two or three, and some tenderness and small lumps can last up to two weeks. Most people manage with loose clothing and can carry on with normal activities, though you might want to avoid anything that shows your stomach for the first week.
Does it hurt?
It's not painless — you'll feel warmth and stinging as the solution goes in, a bit like a wasp sting that fades quickly. We can add numbing to the mix or use numbing cream beforehand, and the actual injection part is usually done in under half an hour.
How many sessions will I need?
For a large area like the stomach, most people need four to eight sessions spaced four weeks apart. If you've got a wedding, holiday or big event coming up, it's worth starting at least twelve weeks beforehand so everything has time to settle and look its best.
How long do the results last?
You'll usually start seeing changes from about three weeks, with the best results showing six to eight weeks after your final session. Once those fat cells are destroyed they don't come back, so the results last indefinitely as long as you keep your weight stable.
Are there any side effects?
Significant swelling and redness at the injection sites is completely expected, along with bruising, tenderness, warmth and sometimes small lumps that you can feel under the skin. These typically settle over days to a few weeks. Less commonly, there can be infection, skin damage, nerve irritation or uneven results, which is why choosing an experienced practitioner matters.
Preparing for your treatment
Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before — it thins the blood and increases bruising
Stop anti-inflammatory medications 1 week before unless prescribed
Stay well hydrated for 48 hours leading up to your appointment
Eat normally on the day — don't arrive hungry or overly full
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that won't compress your stomach
Avoid booking if you have any infection or skin irritation in the treatment area
After your treatment
Expect significant swelling for 3–7 days — this is normal and shows it's working
Wear a compression garment if recommended — it helps comfort and shaping
Drink 2 to 3 litres of water daily for the first week to support clearance
Avoid alcohol for 48 hours after treatment
No gym, hot baths, saunas or swimming for 48 hours
Tenderness and small lumps may last up to 2 weeks, settling gradually
Do not book if any of these apply
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
You have liver or kidney disease
You have uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune conditions
You have a bleeding disorder or take blood-thinning medication
You have an active infection or inflammation where you want treatment
You are under 18 or over 60 years old
You have had problems with anaesthetic or the ingredients before
You have unrealistic expectations about results
