Fat Dissolving Injections (Aqualyx)
Target stubborn fat with Aqualyx at MAK Clinic
Struggling with areas of fat that just won’t budge, no matter how much you diet or exercise? Fat-dissolving injections with Aqualyx offer a medically approved, non-surgical solution to reduce small pockets of fat permanently.
At MAK Clinic Knutsford, our Nurse Prescriber Practitioners deliver this advanced treatment with clinical expertise, ensuring safe, precise results. Whether it’s under the chin, around the waist, or on the thighs, we can help you reshape your silhouette with confidence.
How Fat Dissolving Injections Work
Aqualyx: Non-surgical body contouring with real results
Aqualyx is a clinically developed compound that works by breaking down fat cell membranes. Once injected, the fat is liquified and naturally removed by the body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks.
At MAK Clinic, all treatments are performed or overseen by a medically trained Nurse Prescriber for maximum safety and peace of mind.
Your treatment journey includes:
Detailed consultation: We assess your goals, body composition, and medical history.
Treatment mapping: We mark and prepare the area(s) for precise injection.
Aqualyx injection: Using a fine cannula or needle, the solution is gently delivered into the fat layer.
Aftercare & support: Expect some swelling or tenderness—this is a normal part of the process.
