Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections for Double Chin | Revitalised Aesthetics Manchester

If you have been considering aqualyx fat dissolving injections for double chin reduction, you are not alone. Submental fat — the pocket of fat beneath the chin — is one of the most common concerns we treat at Revitalised Aesthetics, our nurse-led aesthetic studio in Manchester.

How Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections Actually Work

Aqualyx is a plant-based compound solution derived from deoxycholic acid, a substance the body produces naturally to aid fat digestion. The NHS notes that non-surgical cosmetic procedures carry risks and should always be performed by a qualified professional. When injected directly into a localised fat deposit such as the double chin, Aqualyx destabilises the fat cell membrane. The cell breaks down and the released fatty acids are gradually processed and eliminated by the body's lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Because it targets fat cells specifically, surrounding tissue remains unaffected when the treatment is administered with anatomical precision — something that matters enormously when working in a delicate area like the submental region. At Revitalised Aesthetics, every fat dissolving treatment is performed by a qualified nurse with over ten years of clinical experience, which means placement accuracy is prioritised at every step.

The procedure itself typically takes between 30 and 45 minutes. A fine needle delivers multiple small injections across the treatment zone. Most clients describe a mild burning or pressure sensation that settles quickly. Swelling and tenderness in the days following treatment are completely normal and are actually a sign that the inflammatory process required for fat breakdown has been triggered.

How Many Sessions Will You Need and What Results Can You Expect?

Most clients require between two and four sessions spaced approximately six to eight weeks apart. The exact number depends on the volume of fat present and how your body responds to the initial treatment. Results are progressive rather than immediate — visible contouring typically becomes apparent from around four to six weeks after each session as swelling resolves and fat cells clear.

The results achieved with aqualyx are considered permanent in the sense that destroyed fat cells do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight supports and prolongs your outcome.
