Aqualyx Fat Dissolving Injections

Hi all,

I am wanting to undergo a fat dissolving injection procedure called Aqualyx. It works in a similar way to “Lemon Bottle” and “Kybella”. I am going to have it injected into some fatty lumps due to poor site rotation. Many clinics state that this treatment isn’t suitable for diabetics but won’t state why?

Is this because of increased risk of infection? My blood sugar is generally well-controlled and to add to this, I’ve had injectable procedures done in the past without any complications.

There is a registered doctor on doctor’s forum who claims to have treated type 1 diabetics with Aqualyx and he said they’ve all been fine. He mentions that one must be cautious about increased risk of infection which I guess is the same for a non-diabetic receiving an injectable procedure.

I would like some insight on this.

Thank you!

I hope I'm not asking an insensitive question here, but a month ago you were 7 weeks pregnant. Are you still pregnant? If so, I'd stay away from any elective procedures. No matter what procedure you have, it always holds a risk, including a risk for your pregnancy.
If you aren't pregnant anymore, I'm sorry to have brought it up if it's painful.

Personally, I wouldn't touch any type of procedure like this with a barge pole, but that's my body, and we all make our own decisions on what risks we deem acceptable.
