Aqualyx/ Kybella is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses a solution called deoxycholic acid to dissolve unwanted fat deposits. It is injected into the area of unwanted fat, where it breaks down the fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body naturally. Aqualyx/ Kybella is commonly used to treat areas such as the stomach, hips, thighs, and chin. It's a minimally invasive treatment that requires multiple sessions for best results. It can take up to several weeks for the full effects to be visible.

What is Aqualyx/ Kybella?
Aqualyx/ Kybella is an injectable gel-based solution developed for the non-surgical reduction of localised fat under the skin.
How does Aqualyx/ Kybella work?
When Aqualyx/ Kybella is injected into the problem area it liquefies the fat cells, destroying them permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system. Put more simply, Aqualyx/ Kybella breaks down the wall of the fat cell, releasing liquid fat, which the body then treats as waste and dispels.
Which areas can be treated with Aqualyx/ Kybella?
Aqualyx/ Kybella can be used to reduce undesirable fat on almost any part of the body, but is most popular for fat pockets around the chin, love handles, thighs, saddle bags, abdomen, underarms and buttocks. It is also good for treating pseudo-gynocomastia in men (man boobs).
Is Aqualyx/ Kybella a quick fix for obesity?
No, Aqualyx/ Kybella is not designed to treat obesity. It is specifically designed for treating localised fat pockets. Patients most suitable for Aqualyx will be at or close to their ideal weight but will have stubborn areas of fat that dieting and exercise will not shift.
Who can perform Aqualyx/ Kybella?
Aqualyx/ Kybella is a medical procedure and can only be performed by doctors who have been specially trained in its use.
