Are fat dissolving injections safe? What you need to know
Struggling with stubborn fat that won’t budge – no matter how well you eat or how often you exercise? You’re not alone. Many Liverpool residents are turning to fat dissolving injections as a fast, non-surgical solution to contour those hard-to-tone areas. But the question remains: are fat dissolving injections safe?
If you’ve been considering fat dissolving in Liverpool, this post breaks down the essential facts – so you can make a confident, informed decision.
Why fat dissolving matters for Liverpool clients
Liverpool is a city that’s constantly on the go – whether you’re working in the city centre, socialising in the Ropewalks, or enjoying the waterfront. Yet even the most active lifestyles can’t always shift fat in areas like the chin, hips or stomach.
That’s where Aqualyx fat dissolving injections come in. They offer:
- A non-surgical alternative to liposuction
- Minimal downtime (ideal for busy schedules)
- A chance to target fat precisely, especially in problem zones like the jawline or underarms
At Bold Street Clinic, we see a growing number of clients looking to feel more confident in their own skin – especially in areas that diet and exercise alone can’t seem to touch.
What are fat dissolving injections & how do they work?
Fat dissolving injections, most commonly using a compound called Aqualyx, work through a process called lipolysis. Here’s what you need to know:
What is Aqualyx?
Aqualyx is a clinically-tested injectable treatment made from a compound that safely breaks down fat cells.
How is it administered?
- Injections are carried out by qualified doctors
- The solution is precisely injected into targeted fat deposits
- Fat cells dissolve and are naturally flushed through the lymphatic system
Where can it be used?
Common treatment areas include:
- Chin and jawline (double chin)
- Stomach and flanks
- Thighs and knees
- Hips and back

Common questions about fat dissolving injections
How many sessions?
Most clients require between 2–6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart for best results.
When will you see results?
You may begin to notice changes after just 1–2 treatments. Final results become more visible over several weeks as your body metabolises the broken-down fat.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. You may experience:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Light bruising or tenderness
Most side effects clear within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief can help with any discomfort.
Is Aqualyx permanent?
Yes – as long as you maintain your weight, the treated fat cells are gone for good.
Does it hurt?
Discomfort is generally mild. A local anaesthetic may be mixed with the solution to reduce pain.
Can I go back to work afterwards?
Absolutely. Most clients return to daily activities straight after treatment.
