Fantastic service and amazing results. If you live or work in the Canary Wharf area, go and speak to Jane she is very knowledgeable and discreet.
My husband and I both visit Medikaur for all of our aesthetic and skin care needs. Jane always listens to our concerns, and gives great advice, never giving us a really ‘done look’ - just a light helping hand to look and feel our best. Our friends can’t work out why we look so well-rested and youthful, despite having stressful jobs and a hectic family life!”
Incredible service and results! Found my new regular place. Competence and experience show.
Aqualyx injections contain a compound solution made with polymers and a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is naturally present in the human body and plays a role in how we break down fats.
When injected into target fat cells, the solution alters the cells’ surface tension, triggering liquid inside and around the cells to move and the fat to break down. This will then drain away to be metabolised through the body’s lymphatic system and eliminated as waste.
No. Aqualyx is used for body contouring rather than overall weight loss. It is designed to refine shape in localised areas.
Most Aqualyx appointments take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Your skin is cleaned first, and we use a local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable.
The number of injections varies by area, but we talk you through each step as we go so you know exactly what’s happening.
Smaller areas, such as under the chin, may only require 1-2 treatments, while larger areas may typically require 2-8. Multiple treatments will usually take place around 4 weeks apart.
You should see improvements within a few weeks. The effects can be long-lasting, provided weight remains relatively stable. However, it’s important to remember you’ll still need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid future weight gain.
It’s common to experience some redness, swelling and tenderness after treatment, and some people develop slight bruising. These usually subside within a few days and over-the-counter painkillers can help if needed. We will talk you through everything and ensure you have all the aftercare advice you need before you go home.
Aqualyx has a well-established history of use in aesthetic practice when delivered by appropriately trained clinicians. As with any injectable treatment, safety depends on careful assessment, correct technique, and appropriate patient selection.
At Medikaur, all Aqualyx treatments are carried out by Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Jane Paterson. Your consultation includes a full discussion of suitability, potential side effects, and aftercare, so you can make an informed and confident decision.
Aqualyx is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It would also not be suitable for you if you have liver or kidney disease or are on blood thinning medication. A full consultation will confirm whether it is appropriate for you.
Aqualyx®, developed for the non-surgical reduction of localised fat under the skin, is a gel-based aqueous solution that dissolves fat and is biocompatible and biodegradable. Aqualyx® works by causing the dissolution of fat cells. The body then naturally expels the released fatty acids.
Pricing can be discussed during your consultation to ensure the treatment plan matches your needs.

Achieving the best outcomes with Aqualyx is about judgement and experience as much as technique. Knowing what areas to treat, how much product to administer, and when to stop makes a real difference to the results.
At Medikaur, Aqualyx treatments are carried out by Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Jane Paterson. Jane has over 25 years’ experience in aesthetic practice, and also trains and mentors other clinicians, so her work is shaped by a strong understanding of anatomy and safe treatment planning.
When Jane approaches body contouring, she does so cautiously and deliberately. She looks carefully at suitability and prefers to plan treatments in stages, rather than trying to do too much at once. This approach helps to achieve natural-looking, lasting results.
When you see Jane for a consultation, you can rely on her to be calm, honest, and practical. She explains what’s realistic, what may not be appropriate, and why. If Aqualyx is not the right option for you, Jane will tell you and help you explore other options.
Choosing Aqualyx at Medikaur means being guided by experience, clear communication, and a focus on results that feel considered and long term.
If you are considering Aqualyx and would like personalised advice, a consultation is the best place to start. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, explore suitability, and understand what results you can realistically expect.
