Target stubborn fat without surgery
There are areas of the body that don't respond to diet and exercise the way we'd like. The double chin that stays no matter how much weight you lose. The bra fat that no amount of training shifts. The inner thighs that rub regardless.
Fat dissolving injections target these stubborn pockets of fat directly — breaking down fat cells in the treatment area so they can be processed and eliminated by the body naturally. No surgery, no general anaesthetic, no significant downtime.
At Aesthetics by Emma, Emma uses Aqualyx — the only MHRA-approved, CE-marked fat dissolving injectable available in the UK — delivered with the clinical precision of a Registered Nurse and Independent Prescriber with over 20 years of NHS experience.
Aqualyx is a clinically proven fat dissolving injectable and the only product of its kind to hold both MHRA approval and CE marking for use in the UK. It has been used in over 2 million treatments across 49 countries since 2009, giving it one of the strongest safety records of any injectable fat reduction treatment available.
Aqualyx works using deoxycholic acid — a compound your body produces naturally in bile to break down dietary fat. When injected directly into a targeted fat deposit, it breaks down fat cell membranes, releasing the fat to be processed and eliminated through the body's natural lymphatic system over the weeks that follow. Results develop progressively after each session, with the best outcomes achieved over a course of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.

What to expect at your appointment
Your first appointment begins with a free consultation and assessment. Emma will assess the treatment area, discuss your goals honestly, and confirm whether fat dissolving is the right approach for you. She will also give you a realistic expectation of how many sessions are likely to be needed for your specific area and concerns.
Treatment itself takes between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Aqualyx is administered via a series of small injections into the fat layer of the targeted area.
Some swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated area is completely normal in the first 24 to 72 hours — this is the body's natural inflammatory response and is a sign the treatment is working. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Results develop gradually over four to eight weeks as the body eliminates the broken-down fat cells. Most patients see visible improvement after their first session, with the best results achieved after a full course.
