1.What are lipotropic injections?

Intralipotherapy (lipotropic injections) is an aesthetic treatment that consists of injecting fat removing substances (lipotropes-Aqualyx) in areas with excess fat. These substances help to dissolve adipose tissue, converting fat into a more easily to expel liquid.

2.What is Aqualyx?

Aqualyx is made of Deoxycholic acid DC and is the most used substance in lipotropic injections. It improves the appearance and profile of moderate to severe submental fat. Deoxycholic acid is in a class of medications called cytolytic medications. It works by breaking down cells in fatty tissue.

One of the most important characteristics of these injections is that they are 100% safe and biocompatible. Let me explain it to you better, your lymphatic system is in charge of draining the liquified fat and the remaining substances. Then, all will be eliminated from your body naturally (urine).
