One non-surgical treatment that has been paving the way for a few years, assisting individuals in getting rid of stubborn areas of fat, is Fat Dissolving by Aqualyx. Another common query from our future clients is: “Should I expect fat dissolving treatment to do the magic all at once or not?” To reply to that question practically, it’s important to know an overview of the whole process and what generally happens during the first few days/weeks after treatment.
How Fat Dissolving Treatment Works
At Harley Laser Specialist, we have expertise in non-surgical fat dissolving treatments to target stubborn localised fat. Aqualyx is an injectable solution that releases enzymes into the fat cells, causing their cell walls to rupture. This breaks down the fat cells, which are then naturally cleared away by your body over a few weeks to months. In other words, the treatment works—you will lose dramatic amounts of fat, but it’s not a miracle “get skinny quick” solution.
Common Change: Short-Term Impacts
If you notice any changes in your body, they’re likely superficial and due to inflammation right after treatment. Typically, you’ll see swelling and redness, along with mild tenderness in the treated area. This list isn’t exhaustive, and symptoms might vary from person to person. This inflamed appearance may temporarily make the treated areas seem bigger, leading to frustration, but this phase will pass within days.
The Timeline for Results
So, when will you really start seeing results from your fat loss treatment? This usually takes between 4–6 weeks to become most evident after your treatment. The body continues breaking down these fat cells for up to 12 weeks. For some clients, the ideal result might involve a phased treatment process. Most patients need 2–4 treatments, spaced weeks apart.
Factors Affecting Results
On a more personal note, factors that can influence the results include:
- Metabolism: Everyone’s body metabolises fat cells at different rates.
- Lifestyle: Eating right and exercising can maximise the treatment’s effectiveness. Clients who maintain a healthy lifestyle post-treatment tend to see quicker and more significant results.
- Treated Area: Some areas are more stubborn. Results might show sooner in certain parts of your body than others, e.g. your belly may show results before your thighs or under your chin.
Post-Treatment Care
We always recommend clients follow post-treatment care guided by Harley Laser Specialist for the best results. Here are some essential tips:
- Drink Water: It helps flush out the fat after the cells have burst.
- Rest for 48 Hours: Avoid heavy exercise after the treatment process, allowing your body two days to recover.
- Follow-up Care: Attend every scheduled appointment to track your progress and make necessary tweaks to your care plan.
At Harley Laser Specialist, you’re in safe hands with our fully skilled staff. All treatments are performed in a safe and comfortable setting, with guidance provided every step of the way.
Fat dissolving treatment isn’t an instant fix—you won’t see results right away. However, over the next 4–8 weeks, your body will begin to eliminate the previously destroyed fat tissue. With good post-treatment care and a healthy lifestyle, you can maximise the benefits and achieve your desired body shape. We understand your commitment to maintaining your natural beauty, and Harley Laser Specialist is here to help you achieve just that with our range of fat dissolving solutions.
