Are fat dissolving injections safe? What you need to know

Fat Dissolving Injections

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

What makes fat dissolving injections safe?

Safety is the number one concern – and rightly so. Here’s how Bold Street Clinic ensures a safe treatment experience:

Doctor-led administration

All Aqualyx treatments are administered by registered, qualified doctors. You’re in medically trained hands.

Regulated environment

Our clinic is CQC-registered, meaning it meets strict UK healthcare standards.

Proven product

Individual suitability

We only recommend treatment after a thorough consultation to assess whether it’s appropriate for your goals and body type.

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.
