Aqualyx

Fat Dissolving Injections in Haywards Heath & Uckfield

Target stubborn pockets of fat without surgery

Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, some areas of stubborn fat simply refuse to budge. Whether it’s a double chin that won’t disappear or small pockets of fat around the abdomen, thighs or arms, these areas can affect your confidence despite all your hard work.

Aqualyx® is a non-surgical fat dissolving treatment designed to target these resistant areas, helping to improve body contours without the need for liposuction or invasive surgery.

At Revive Aesthetics, Rebecca takes a realistic and honest approach to body contouring. Aqualyx is not a weight-loss treatment, but for the right client it can produce excellent, natural-looking improvements by reducing small, localised fat deposits.

Is Aqualyx right for me?

Aqualyx fat dissolving injections may be suitable if you:

  • Have stubborn pockets of fat that haven’t responded to diet and exercise
  • Are close to your ideal weight
  • Would like a non-surgical alternative to liposuction
  • Want to improve the contour of specific areas rather than lose weight
  • Are looking for gradual, natural-looking results

Common treatment areas include:

  • Double chin
  • Abdomen
  • Upper arms
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Hips
  • Flanks (love handles)

During your consultation, Rebecca will assess your concerns and discuss whether Aqualyx is the most suitable treatment for your goals. If she feels another treatment would achieve a better result, she’ll always explain your options honestly.

How does Aqualyx work?

Aqualyx is a specially formulated injectable treatment that works by breaking down unwanted fat cells in targeted areas of the body. Once treated, the fat is naturally processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Because the treatment permanently destroys the fat cells in the treated area, results can be long-lasting when supported by a healthy lifestyle.

What happens during treatment?

Before treatment, Rebecca will carry out a full consultation to ensure Aqualyx is suitable for you and to discuss the results you can realistically expect.

The treatment involves a series of small injections into the targeted area using a specialist technique. The appointment typically takes around 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful, and Rebecca will talk you through every step to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Aqualyx a weight-loss treatment?
No. Aqualyx is designed to treat small, stubborn pockets of fat rather than help with overall weight loss. It’s most effective for people who are already close to their ideal weight.

Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients experience some mild discomfort during treatment, often described as a stinging or burning sensation. This settles quickly and Rebecca will do everything possible to keep you comfortable.

How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require between two and six sessions, depending on the size of the treatment area and the results they wish to achieve.

Will the fat come back?
The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important, as the remaining fat cells can still increase in size if you gain weight.

When will I notice a difference?
Results develop gradually as your body naturally removes the treated fat cells. Most people begin to notice improvements within a few weeks, with continued improvement after each treatment.

Rebecca’s Perspective

“Body contouring should never be about chasing perfection. My role is to help you feel more confident by treating the areas that genuinely bother you, while always being honest about what’s achievable. Sometimes a subtle change is all that’s needed to make a real difference.”
