FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS
INTRALIPOTHERAPY
for ‘double chin’
What is it?
Intralipotherapy defines a specific non-invasive technique developed for the treatment of localized fat. The indication for this treatment is restricted to selected patients after a thorough consultation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Aqualyx® is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat tissue. The sodium salt of the (3α, 5α, 12α) - 3, 12-dihydroxy-5-cholan-24-acid, the active substance of Aqualyx®, breaks down the fat cell membrane. The cell releases its content, the triglycerides, resulting in an inflammatory reaction within the fat tissue.
Lifestyle and dietary changes including exercise are required in addition to Aqualyx® treatment in order for it to be successfull.
