Aqualix

Aqualix - what kind of drug is this?

Aqualyx is a drug that is used to remove fat deposits using the intralipotherapy method. This eliminates the need for surgical methods. It contains substances that can destroy subcutaneous fat and then gradually remove it from the body through the lymph.

The drug is injected into problem areas. Particularly effective for getting rid of fat deposits that are difficult to correct through diet and exercise.

Effect

In some cases, improvements can be seen after 1-2 sessions. But treatment must be accompanied by correction of eating behavior. If habits that lead to weight gain continue, the drug will destroy fat cells, but at the same time new ones will form and hypertrophy.

If the fat deposits are significant, more sessions (up to 8) may be required. It depends on the area being treated: for example, eliminating a double chin is faster than dealing with fat on the thighs. The drug is also prescribed for local fat deposits remaining after liposuction.

The procedures are carried out at intervals of 4 weeks.

Release form

Aqualix is available in the form of a microgel-based solution, has a slightly pinkish tint and is sold in 8 ml ampoules. One package includes 10 bottles. Freezing ampoules is not recommended. Optimal storage conditions are room temperature not exceeding 25 degrees.

Aqualix is sold in easy-to-use ampoules

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

As with all drugs administered through the skin, the use of Aqualyx® solution carries a risk of infection. This may be due to injection of the drug into an area with an active inflammatory or infectious process, or improper cleaning and disinfection of the injection site. Particular caution is required when using the drug in persons with hemorrhagic manifestations and/or blood clotting disorders, as well as in patients taking anticoagulants. In these cases, while using the solution, there is a high probability of bleeding or localized bruising.

How does Aqualix work?

When they enter a problem area, the active components are distributed in adipose tissue. They destroy lipid cell membranes. At the same time, the outflow of fluid from adipose tissue increases. Then the split lipids with active substances are excreted through the lymphatic system.

Thanks to the slow release of active components and the gradual evacuation of fat from the body, the procedure does not harm the kidneys and liver.

Aqualix promotes lipid breakdown

WARNINGS

Aqualyx® should NOT be injected into tissues/anatomical areas other than adipose tissue or areas of localized fat accumulation. Otherwise, the drug should be administered clearly within the boundaries of these areas. DO NOT inject the solution into the skin, muscle tissue, blood vessels, parenchymal organs or body cavities.

The drug CANNOT be administered if the thickness of the subcutaneous adipose tissue layer is less than 1.5 cm.

It is PROHIBITED to mix and/or add other substances to the drug.

Correction zones: where can lipolytic injections be made?

The drug is not used for comprehensive weight loss; it is administered only to problem areas, such as:

chin;
stomach;
buttocks;
back;
waist;
hands;
patellar region;
posterior cervical area;
hips.

According to indications, injections can be administered to men in the chest area to eliminate fat deposits due to gynecomastia.

The drug is administered locally to problem areas

CONTRAINDICATIONS

The use of Aqualyx® is contraindicated in all cases, with the exception of the conditions listed in the INDICATIONS FOR USE section. Aqualyx® solution is an injectable medicinal product indicated for use in the above conditions in aesthetic medicine, surgery and dermatology in the treatment and correction of local defects in the form of small accumulations of excess adipose tissue. Like other injectable medications, Aqualyx® should be administered only to healthy patients, in the absence of acute or chronic skin diseases in/around the corrected area. In order to prevent complications, the drug should not be used in patients with a history of anaphylactic or serious allergic conditions, in the presence of serious organ or system pathology, including autoimmune diseases, as well as in pregnant and lactating women.

Pros and cons of the procedure

Pros:

does not require anesthesia;
does not leave scars or scars;
can be used on the face;
does not provoke allergic reactions;
does not have a toxic effect on tissues;
does not require long-term rehabilitation;
produces a lasting effect.

Minuses:

in 1 procedure it is impossible to destroy a large amount of adipose tissue;
if the solution is administered incorrectly and the skin is injured, an inflammatory process will occur;
discomfort may be felt when administering the drug;
After the procedure, swelling occurs, which gradually disappears.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

Aqualyx® is a biocompatible, fully absorbable microgel aqueous solution for the treatment of lipohypertrophy and subcutaneous fat hyperplasia, as well as bull's hump in HIV-infected patients. The drug is used in conjunction with the cavitation adipocytolysis protocol, which involves the use of ultrasonic waves from an ultrasound transmitter located on the surface of the skin.

Before administering the drug, the injection site should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Despite the established good tolerability, the amount of Aqualyx® in one administration session should not exceed 40 ml (or 25 ml per specific anatomical area).

When administering Aqualyx®, only intralipotherapy should be used.

When tissue is infiltrated with Aqualyx® solution, the use of mesotherapy or other injection techniques is NOT ALLOWED.

If necessary, 0.2 ml of pure lidocaine (without adrenaline or other substances with a vasoconstrictor effect) can be added to each bottle of Aqualyx® solution. Objective data obtained from clinical studies indicate that periods of 15 days or more should be maintained between administrations of Aqualyx®.

The injection of the drug should be carried out slowly, using special needles for intralipotherapy. This allows you to achieve good distribution of the solution in the tissues and avoid injury.

After administering the appropriate amount of the drug, a special gel that conducts ultrasonic waves is applied to the surface of the skin. The effect of ultrasound continues for a certain period of time, which is determined automatically, depending on the corrected area of the body, in accordance with the program of the Sonolyx ultrasound generator (cavitation adipocytolysis using Aqualyx® solution) with continuous movement of the ultrasound sensor over the surface of the skin.

Between sessions of administering the Aqualyx® solution, additional treatment of the corrected areas with ultrasonic waves is allowed, but without injection of the drug (the so-called “dry cavitation”).

In order to maintain the achieved results, it is extremely important to inform and remind the patient about the need for regular clinical examinations, starting several months after the end of the course of treatment.

How is intralipotherapy performed?

Stages of the procedure:

The doctor discusses with the patient which areas he would like to correct. Then he marks these areas with a marker.
Then he prepares the required number of ampoules depending on the size of the problem area. For 1 procedure, from 1 to 5 pieces can be used. A little lidocaine is added to the solution to make the injections less uncomfortable. Then the resulting mixture is drawn into a syringe.
The injection area is treated with an antiseptic.

The doctor then injects into the areas marked with a marker, distributing the drug into the fatty tissue. To administer the lipolytic, a special needle is used, with which you can treat the entire area in one go.
The solution is injected sequentially into each marked area.
Next, using antiseptic wet wipes, the injection sites are disinfected and the markings are removed.
To relieve discomfort, the patient’s skin is treated with a special homeopathic ointment that has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Content

There are many reasons for being overweight. Often this is banal overeating, which - in turn - can also have several reasons. And someone, in the struggle with their own obesity, decides to first find the root of the problem, but, unfortunately, there are few such people. And most are looking for an easy and quick way. For some patients, our figure correction specialists suggest starting with determining the cause of obesity, but it also happens that an overweight person simply needs to speed up the process of losing weight. And in this sense, not only and not so much liposuction, which is well known to everyone, helps! This article will talk about a new technology for removing subcutaneous fat, which is called intralipotherapy.

The main advantages of the method

Painless.
There is no rehabilitation period.
No anesthesia required.

Disadvantages of the method

There are contraindications.

Medicine does not stand still and today the latest technology has been developed for the correction of local fat deposits in a non-surgical way - Intralipotherapy with Aqualyx® (hereinafter referred to as “Aqualyx”).

Until recently, the main procedure for removing subcutaneous fat was liposuction.

During the operation, the fat is first destroyed mechanically, ultrasound or using a laser, and then removed using a vacuum method.

Liposuction remains the most popular plastic surgery in the world today, but we still must not forget that this is a full-fledged surgical intervention with all the risks and complications associated with it.

What is intralipotherapy

Intralipotherapy Aqualix involves deep injection of the drug into adipose tissue. The introduction is made with special Lipoinject needles strictly in accordance with the procedure protocol. The intralipotherapy technique can only be used by doctors who have undergone special training. With the correct technique of mesotherapy with Aqualis, a high degree of treatment effectiveness and the absence of complications are ensured. Administration of the drug through intralipotherapy is painless and does not require additional anesthesia.

Aqualyx is a non-surgical liposuction that does not require anesthesia for injections and is a virtually painless procedure.

Composition of the drug: polymer of 3:6-anhydro-l-galactose and D-galactose, buffer systems, 3a,12a-dihydroxy-5b-24-deoxycholic acid sodium salt, physiological solution for injection. The drug is biologically compatible and completely absorbable.

Aqualix

Aqualix (Motolose Solution) is the first injectable drug that can selectively and gradually reduce the volume of local fat deposits without damaging the surface layers of the dermis and muscle tissue.

Numerous studies have shown the high effectiveness and safety of this method. Aqualix gives the patient the opportunity to choose a non-surgical technique without the need for anesthesia, an operating room and a scalpel, but allowing one to achieve an effect comparable to that of liposuction.

Lipolytic Aqualix allows you to eliminate problem areas, that is, the drug Aqualix does not have the goal of getting rid of excess weight (this is the task of physical activity and diets), but is intended for body correction, namely:

elimination of double chin;
elimination of “sides” at the waist;
relieving sagging belly;
adjustment of hands and other parts of the body.

Intralipotherapy with Aqualyx is a procedure consisting of several injections that allows you to quickly, effectively and almost painlessly achieve the desired results. Aqualix injection contains sodium deoxycholate, which in simple terms is explained as a salt of bile acid, which is produced by the liver. The use of this salt in aesthetic medicine is no longer new. But intralipotherapy with Aqualix contains many positive differences from the usual sodium deoxycholate:

uniform distribution of the substance under the skin, which reduces the risk of possible side effects and allows you to achieve the desired result;
intralipotherapy, the drugs of which are administered using a special technology, reduce the number of necessary injections (the maximum figure is reduced to 3 injections);
Aqualix evenly removes fat layers from the body, resulting in no bumps on the skin.

Non-surgical liposuction Aqualix

Aqualyx is a non-surgical liposuction that does not require anesthesia for injections and is a virtually painless procedure.

Aqualyx office liposculpture is a new European solution to many aesthetic problems that impose a lot of complexes that interfere with normal life. Thanks to Aqualix, the body takes on a new, more perfect look.

Why are Aqualix injections needed?

Aqualix against double chin Ultrasonic liposuction Aqualix is based on the purpose of effectively influencing fat cells, destroying their intercellular connections, and accelerating the process of breakdown of fat cells. On the basis of this, this technique in Europe received the name: aqualyx liposculpture. Aqualix corrects the chin to the desired shape within 20-30 minutes. With the help of Avalix you can correct not only your chin, but also your entire face. Aqualix corrects the face according to the same principle as the chin, treating each part of the face separately.

Aqualix makes the belly ideal Intralipotherapy, reviews of which indicate that Avalix forms the ideal tummy. Aqualix mesotherapy allows you to completely project an ideal silhouette, where there are no problems such as a bulging or sagging stomach, bumps on skin areas, etc.
Aqualix injections for weight loss Aqualix injections are not really for weight loss, but only to eliminate “angles” on the body, that is, Aqualix injections make the contours of the figure more expressive, but the body weight itself does not decrease.

Advantages of Aqualix

Aqualix is safe. The chemically modified sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, which has a short duration of action (3-5 minutes, the time during which adipocytolysis occurs) is a natural metabolite, ensures complete biological compatibility of the drug, effectiveness and safety of exposure.

Aqualix is non-toxic. It works only at the injection site and guarantees no toxic effects on the body.

Fully controlled exposure. The spongy structure promotes slow, controlled release of the drug.

Aqualyx® (Aqualix) contraindications

The Aqualix procedure has a number of contraindications, so before doing it, you should consult with the specialist who will conduct the session. Contraindications include the following:

pregnancy and lactation;
autoimmune diseases;
chronic and acute liver diseases;
diabetes mellitus type 1 and decompensated diabetes type 2;
heart diseases;
allergic reactions to lidocaine;
atopic dermatitis;
renal failure;
blood clotting disorder;
mental illness;
local or systemic infection during the procedure.

Compatibility of Aqualyx® intralipotherapy with other procedures

To enhance the effect, the intralipotherapy procedure must be supplemented with lymphatic drainage procedures: LPG - massage, radio wave lifting (RF), pressotherapy, manual massage, ultrasonic lipomodeling.

Correction zones with Aqualix: upper arms, upper arms, folds on the back, abdomen, sides, riding breeches, outer thighs, inner thighs, inner knees, double chin, gynecomastia, lipomas, buffalo hump.

Aqualix is the only drug in the world that is properly registered in Europe and Russia, having a European CE quality certificate and a registration certificate from Roszdrav.

Recovery after the procedure

Lipolitik Aqualix does not begin to act immediately, but disintegrates gradually. Recovery after manipulation will take 10 to 14 days. During the rehabilitation period it is necessary:

drink more water (at least 2 liters per day);
give up fitness classes;
do not visit baths, saunas and solariums;
wear shapewear for a week after the procedure;
avoid hot baths.

On days 5-7 after intralipotherapy, any lymphatic drainage procedure should be done in a clinical setting, for example, LPG. This method is based on the use of a special device that pinches the skin, accelerating blood flow in the affected area. As a result of such manipulation, the lipolytic is more quickly absorbed, and fat is quickly removed from the body after splitting.

The LPG procedure is recommended to accelerate the removal of fat from problem areas

STORAGE

Aqualyx® can be stored at room temperature, provided the room is sufficiently dry. Do not freeze. Keep out of the reach of children.

The physician must ensure that the product can be traced further. This means that the physician must be able to monitor the patient who has been treated with Aqualyx®. It is recommended to attach a drug label to the patient's medical history or other document.

The product should be used only as directed. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for harm or damage caused to the patient due to other and/or improper use of the drug. The user is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the drug for use under given conditions, especially in cases where they are not indicated in the instructions.
