Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving Injections
Aqualyx® is a non-surgical fat-dissolving injection designed to target and eliminate stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. This innovative treatment contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid that breaks down fat cells, allowing the body to flush them out through the lymphatic system. It offers a minimally invasive alternative to liposuction, making it an effective solution for body contouring.
This treatment is ideal for areas such as the chin, stomach, thighs, hips, knees, and underarms, as well as for reducing excess fat in the chest (pseudo-gynecomastia) in men. Aqualyx® is administered via precise injections into fat tissue, often combined with a local anesthetic for comfort. Most patients require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, with fat gradually dissolving over several weeks.
Side effects are generally mild, including temporary swelling, redness, or bruising, which subside within a few days. Since Aqualyx® permanently eliminates fat cells, results can be long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle. This treatment is an excellent choice for those seeking a more sculpted and refined appearance without surgery.

What our patients say...
Dr. Shaan Patel is a perfectionist. I had 4mls of filler to give me back my cheeks and to remove my Nasolabial folds. I also had the 2 treatments of Profhilo. Was very impressed with my cheeks and removal of nasalabial folds.
Facial Fillers
My experience at Āatma Aesthetics from beginning to end was by far over 5 stars.
Lip Fillers
If I could give another star I would! If you are looking for a professional service and to have peace of mind when you do your treatment this is definitely the place. Dr. Shaan was super attentive and explained everything in detail. We will definitely be coming back and I already recommended to some family and friends!!
Great Service
Dr Shaan didn’t rush and not only took his time to explain what and how certain results could be achieved but also strived to delivered a lip’s shape that it was just perfect. He is highly skilled and even treated an area on my lips that I wasn’t even aware it could be performed and it completely changed the general look of my lips.
Lip Fillers
Dr. Shaan at Āatma Aesthetics did a great job of my Profhilo. It’s important to get the Profhilo into the right depth in the skin or it’s just wasted. I can see the results already and my fine lines are reduced. Good to find a great Dr. who knows what he’s doing.
Profhilo
Always happy to be attended by Dr, Shaan. Extremely professional, charismatic, attentive to details, and very efficient. You know you can trust him!
Trust
Shaan developed a personalised medical grade skincare routine for me to deal with my recently developed acne. It’s only been 3 days and I’ve already noticed a big difference using ZO products. I highly recommend Āatma Aesthetics for a seamless, professional and bespoke experience.
