Aqualyx aftercare is important to reduce swelling, avoid complications, and help the fat-dissolving process work properly. Here’s the typical guidance clinics give after treatment.

First 24–48 hours

  • Use cold compresses for 15–20 minutes at a time to reduce swelling and discomfort.

  • Do not touch or massage the area for at least 6–12 hours. 

  • Avoid makeup or skincare on the area for 12–24 hours. 

  • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) for about 48 hours.

  • Stay hydrated to help your body process the broken-down fat.


First week

  • Expect swelling, tenderness, and bruising.

    • Swelling often peaks in the first 48–72 hours and can last 3–7 days or sometimes up to 2 weeks depending on the area.

  • Avoid intense exercise for about 5–7 days. 

  • Avoid heat exposure (saunas, hot baths, sunbeds, steam rooms).

  • Compression garments may be recommended for body areas to reduce swelling.


After the first week

  • Some clinics recommend gentle massage for 1–3 weeks to help distribute the product and lymphatic drainage.

  • Maintain a healthy, low-fat diet and good hydration while the body metabolises the dissolved fat.

  • Final results usually start showing after 4–8 weeks, and treatments are often spaced a few weeks apart.


Normal side effects:

  • Swelling

  • Bruising

  • Redness or warmth

  • Tenderness or firmness

  • Mild itching or numbness

🚨 Contact your clinic if you have severe pain, spreading redness, or signs of infection.
