Aqualyx is a gel-based fat dissolving treatment where a solution is injected into the treatment area to alter the surface tension of the fat cell membrane and increase their permeability. An ultrasound device is then applied over the surface of the skin in the targeted areas causing the movement of liquids both inside and outside the fat cells. The fat cells start to balloon and break up which leads to the drainage of micro-droplets of fatty liquid into the body which is then metabolized through the lymphatic system and excreted.
