Aqualyx® Fat Dissolving in Cockfosters, London
Target Stubborn Fat Without Surgery
At Surgicare Aesthetics, we offer Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections to safely and effectively reduce stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise. This minimally invasive treatment is ideal for contouring both the face (such as a double chin or jowls) and the body (including stomach, thighs, hips, and arms).
Aqualyx® works by breaking down fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally flush them away through the lymphatic system. Treatments are carried out in our CQC-registered clinic in Cockfosters, by highly experienced doctors who ensure safe, precise, and natural-looking results.

The Aqualyx® Procedure
Your treatment begins with a consultation at our Cockfosters clinic, where your doctor will assess your goals and determine if Aqualyx® is right for you. During the procedure, small amounts of Aqualyx® are injected into the treatment area using fine needles or cannulas. The solution disrupts the fat cell membranes, allowing the contents to be broken down and naturally eliminated by the body over time.
Depending on the size of the area, most patients require a course of 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal results.

Aqualyx® FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Treating Lipomas Without Surgery — Aqualyx® Injections at Surgicare Aesthetics
Performed by Dr Patel, General Surgeon at Surgicare Aesthetics Cockfosters
Lipomas — soft, fatty lumps that develop beneath the skin — are common and usually harmless, but can be bothersome or cosmetically concerning, especially when they appear in visible areas such as the forehead, arms, or neck. Traditionally, lipomas have been removed surgically, but at Surgicare Aesthetics, we now offer a non-surgical alternative using Aqualyx® fat-dissolving injections, performed exclusively by Dr Patel, General Surgeon.
What Are Aqualyx® Lipoma Injections?
Aqualyx® is an injectable treatment that dissolves localised fat deposits by breaking down fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally flush them away. When used for lipomas, it offers a safe, minimally invasive way to reduce or eliminate the lump without the need for surgery or scarring.
This approach is ideal for small to medium lipomas, especially those located in highly visible or delicate areas, where surgical removal could leave a noticeable mark.
Benefits of Aqualyx® for Lipomas
- No surgery, no stitches, no scars
- Performed by Dr Patel — General Surgeon with aesthetic expertise
- Minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities immediately
- Gentle, gradual reduction for a natural result
- Suitable for visible areas such as the forehead, face, neck, or arms
- Doctor-led treatment in a CQC-registered Cockfosters clinic
What to Expect
During your consultation, Dr Patel will assess the lipoma’s size, depth, and location to confirm suitability for Aqualyx®. Treatment involves a small number of precise injections directly into the lipoma using fine needles or a cannula. Over the following weeks, the fatty tissue is gradually broken down and reabsorbed by the body.
Most patients require 1–3 sessions, depending on the size and response of the lipoma. Results develop progressively, with a smoother, flatter appearance emerging naturally — and no surgical scar.
