Aqualyx Aftercare
We hope you are satisfied with the results of your fat dissolving Aqualyx treatment. To ensure you receive the full benefits we strongly recommend you note the following:
Immediately after treatment, there may be slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injections. The inconvenience is temporary and generally disappears in a few days. If it continues or if other reactions occur, please call us. The results directly after the treatment should not be seen as the final result.

- Avoid touching the treatment area 6 hours after the treatment. After that the area can be gently washed with soap and water, and light make-up can be applied in the case of the neck/jaw area after 24 hours.
- Until the initial swelling has resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium and sunbathing) or extreme cold.
- If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, be aware that these may increase the bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
Protocol for resolving bruising and swelling
Hot compress: very hot water, soak clean cloth, wring out very tight, lay over the face so that the heat and steam goes to the face. Repeat several times, ideally every 2 hours if possible.
Arnica cream: Available in Boots, apply generously before going to bed, will help resolve bruising.
Wearing a compression garment can help with the swelling (and results).
If you experience persistent or increasing swelling and redness that might indicate infection, or bruising that is more than average, contact the salon for advice.
