In the '90s, in Brazil and then in Italy, phosphatidylcholine solution (the drug Lipostabil - much earlier used in general medicine) was first used in aesthetic procedures, reduction of fat bags of the lower eyelid and removal of yellow tufts and lipomas (Prof. S. Maggiori - Italy). From the very beginning, treatments using phosphatidylcholine solution were incorrectly called INJECTIONAL LIPOLYSIS. It was thought that the main active ingredient was phosphatidylcholine and that it caused a reduction in fat cell volume (the process of lipolysis). In reality, it was a completely different agent and a completely different process that caused fat reduction. Research conducted in 2005, by a team of doctors led by Prof. Motolese (Italy), showed that the substance that acts on fat tissue in phosphatidylcholine solution is not phosphatidylcholine itself but sodium deoxycholate - a powerful substance that leads to the complete destruction of fat cells. On the basis of this research, in 2007, Prof. Motolese began work on a new preparation that was designed to work by completely destroying the fat cell, i.e. to induce adipocytolysis, not lipolysis as was thought. This work led to the development of a new injection technique, Intralipotherapy®, and a preparation, Aqualyx. Aqualyx is a solution without phosphatidylcholine, in which detergents (of the sodium deoxycholate type) are the main substances acting on the fat cell. The detergent dissolves fat and destroys the cell membrane - the process of adipocytolysis takes place. Aqualyx injected into fat tissue causes the destruction of fat cells, which are transported to the liver and excreted from the body through the kidneys.

Aqualyx is the world's only medical material registered with the CE mark for the reduction of locally accumulated fat, exclusively by the intralipotherapy® injection technique. Additional safety is guaranteed to the patient by the fact that only physicians who have received specialized training are authorized to perform such procedures, a rule that is strictly observed by the Polish distributor Fenice of Warsaw.

Remember, Aqualyx is not a replacement for liposuction. It is a much gentler procedure, is distinguished by its non-surgical procedure, much less trauma to the body and does not exclude the patient from daily functioning.

Aqualyx is the only registered treatment for injectable fat removal, and the intralipotherapy® method has been recognized as the safest injectable technique for reducing subcutaneous tissue. Aqualyx is the non-surgical equivalent of liposuction.
