Aqualyx
An injectable treatment discussed for small, discrete pockets of fat in a clearly defined area. It is a localized contouring treatment — not a weight-management medicine, and not an alternative to a supervised weight-management plan.
Fat-dissolving injections, of which Aqualyx is one recognised product, are used to address a small, localized area that has not responded to diet and activity. Treatment is planned area by area, and the areas suitable for it are limited.
This is the distinction that matters most on this page: a localized contouring treatment addresses the shape of one small region. It does not address body weight, metabolic health or the reasons weight is difficult to manage. If those are your concerns, a supervised weight-management consultation is the appropriate pathway, and the two should not be substituted for one another.
Because it works on a specific area, assessment is physical and individual. A clinician examines the area, judges whether it is genuinely suited to this approach, and explains what a realistic change in contour would look like — including the possibility that the answer is no.
The treatment is injected directly into a defined area of subcutaneous fat rather than taken systemically, which is why it is described as localized.
The intention is to disrupt fat cells within that treated area so the contents can be cleared by the body's normal processes over the following weeks. More than one session is commonly needed, spaced apart to allow that process to complete.
Because it acts only where it is placed, it does not influence appetite, body weight or metabolic signalling anywhere else. Any change is limited to the treated region.
Written conditionally on purpose. These are areas the treatment may support in suitable patients, depending on clinical assessment — not outcomes you should expect.
This is not a self-assessment tool and it cannot tell you whether you are eligible. Eligibility depends on your medical history, current medications and a clinical assessment.
A licensed clinician reviews your health history, current medicines, previous weight-management attempts and what you are hoping to address.
Relevant measurements and, where indicated, baseline investigations. This is where suitability is genuinely determined — not on this website.
If treatment is appropriate, the clinician explains what it involves, the realistic range of outcomes, the possible side effects and the alternatives, so you can decide.
Scheduled reviews to check tolerance and progress, adjust the plan, and stop or change course if the treatment is not working for you.
This treatment addresses the contour of a specific small area only. It is not a treatment for obesity, it does not replace medical weight management, and it should never be chosen as an alternative to assessing overall health.
Treatment here always begins with an assessment by a licensed healthcare professional. Nothing on this website establishes that a treatment is suitable for you, and selecting a treatment does not create a prescription.
Contraindications, drug interactions and your personal and family medical history must be reviewed by a clinician before any injection is considered. Some conditions, medicines, pregnancy and breastfeeding make certain treatments unsuitable.
Side effects vary by treatment and by person, and they are discussed with you individually before you decide. Individual responses vary, and no outcome can be promised.
This website does not provide diagnosis, emergency advice or a prescribing service. If you feel unwell or have urgent symptoms, contact a doctor or your local emergency service.
No, and it is important not to treat it as one. It addresses the contour of a small, defined area. It does not affect body weight, appetite or metabolic health. If overall weight is your concern, a supervised weight-management consultation is the right pathway.
Only small, discrete areas, and only after physical assessment. Suitability depends on the area itself, the tissue present and your overall situation, so it is decided in person rather than from a list on a website.
More than one is common, spaced apart. The exact number is not something that can be set before assessing the area, and it is reviewed as treatment progresses.
Yes. The area has to be examined and your general health reviewed before any treatment is planned. Assessment is not optional.
You can raise both at one consultation, and selecting both here sends them as a single request. Whether combining them is appropriate is a clinical decision, and in many cases a clinician will address one thing at a time.
Fat-Burning Injections
Injectable formulations combining compounds such as B-group vitamins and amino acids. Often called fat-burning injections, though evidence for that effect is limited — a clinician will set realistic expectations.
Consultation required
Tirzepatide
A prescription medicine containing tirzepatide, which acts on two gut-hormone receptors involved in appetite and blood-sugar regulation. Suitability, dose and monitoring are decided by a clinician.
Consultation required · Prescription only
Semaglutide
A prescription weight-management medicine containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that influences appetite signalling. Prescribed only after a clinical assessment and used with ongoing follow-up.
