Characteristics and Composition of Aqualyx Face
Aqualyx Face is a specialized preparation for the localized reduction of fatty tissue in the facial area, particularly around the chin and jawline. It is a so-called aqueous microgel, meaning a solution with a consistency that allows for even distribution within fatty tissue.
Composition of the preparation
The Aqualyx Face formula is based on several key ingredients:
- water (Aqua) – the base of the solution, enabling proper dilution and distribution of active substances,
- buffered saline solution – responsible for maintaining a stable pH and compatibility with body tissues,
- agarose – a gelling agent that gives the preparation its microgel structure and enables controlled release within the tissue,
- sodium deoxycholate – the main active ingredient responsible for the lipolytic effect.
Role of sodium deoxycholate
Sodium deoxycholate acts like a detergent—it dissolves the membranes of fat cells (adipocytes), leading to their breakdown. This process is called adipocytolysis.
After the fat cells are destroyed, their contents are gradually removed from the body—first through the lymphatic system, then metabolized in the liver and excreted.
Why is the Face formula milder?
The version intended for the face differs from the classic preparation:
- it has a lower concentration of sodium deoxycholate,
- it has a higher (more physiological) pH,
- it is better adapted to the thin and sensitive skin of the face.
As a result, it:
- reduces the risk of swelling and redness,
- works in a more controlled and precise manner,
- allows removal of even small fat deposits without excessive tissue damage.
Mechanism of action in tissue
After administration of the preparation (most often via intralipotherapy):
- the microgel spreads evenly within the fatty tissue,
- sodium deoxycholate damages the membranes of fat cells,
- the cells break down and release fat,
- the body gradually removes their remnants.
The effect is not immediate—it appears gradually along with the body’s natural metabolic processes.
Composition and action of Seralyx serum (therapy support)
The treatment includes a serum that supports skin regeneration, containing:
- resveratrol (0.5%) – a strong antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effects,
- Physalis angulata extract – soothes irritation and supports healing,
- hyaluronic acid (various forms) – hydrates and accelerates regeneration,
- biomimetic peptides – support rebuilding and improve skin quality.
The serum is used after the procedure to:
- reduce swelling and redness,
- accelerate tissue regeneration,
- improve patient comfort.
Summary
Aqualyx Face is a precisely developed lipolytic microgel whose action is based on controlled adipocytolysis induced by sodium deoxycholate. Thanks to its modified composition and parameters (lower concentration, milder pH), the preparation is adapted to the delicate structures of the face and enables safe contouring without surgical intervention.
