Aqualyx in Cobham, for the pockets that won’t budge.

What AQUALYX actually is

AQUALYX is a water-based solution of deoxycholic acid, injected by a doctor directly into the fat pocket being treated. It works by breaking down the walls of the fat cells themselves, releasing their contents to be processed and cleared naturally by the body over the following weeks. The crucial detail is what happens afterwards: once cleared, those fat cells are gone for good. This is not a treatment that shrinks fat temporarily. It removes the cells, permanently, without surgery.

Where it works best

AQUALYX is designed for localised, stubborn pockets rather than large areas, and the classic sites are the ones clients guess:

• The double chin, the most requested area of all
• The abdomen, where the last pocket lingers
• The flanks
• The inner thighs
• The knees

If your concern is somewhere else, ask at your consultation: the honest answer about whether AQUALYX suits it is free.

Who it suits, honestly

This is a contouring treatment, not a weight-loss one, and our doctors are careful about the difference. AQUALYX suits clients at a stable weight with localised, stubborn pockets that resist diet and exercise. It is not an alternative to either, and it is not the right tool for overall weight loss. That honesty matters because the results are permanent only in partnership with you: the treated cells never return, and maintaining a stable weight is what keeps the result looking exactly as it did at your final review.

A course, not a one-off

Most areas need two to four sessions, spaced about four weeks apart, and your plan is agreed at consultation with one of our doctors rather than discovered invoice by invoice. Each treatment includes a review appointment four weeks later, timed for when the body has done its clearing work, so progress is assessed on results rather than promises. Appointments run 30 to 45 minutes, which in Cobham terms means a course of treatment folds neatly into a season of ordinary village mornings.

The week after each session

Expect swelling and tenderness in the treated area for a few days after each session, sometimes with redness or bruising that can last up to a week. Far from being a complication, the swelling is a sign the treatment is working as the fat cells break down. It is worth planning around, all the same: most clients book sessions ahead of quiet weeks rather than big occasions. Your doctor will talk through exactly what to expect for your particular area before anything is injected.

A doctor who sees the whole picture

Every AQUALYX treatment in Cobham is performed by Dr Yasmin Tayeb, Dr Olivia McCormack, Dr Bianca Coveva or Dr Ghazala Khan, and that matters beyond safety. Cobham is our most complete clinic, so the doctor planning your course can see it in context: whether the chin pocket is really the issue or the jawline above it, whether contouring alone will satisfy you, whether another treatment would serve you better. Advice built on the whole menu, rather than the treatment in front of you, is the quiet advantage of the flagship clinic.

See the work, not just the words

The flagship clinic, in the heart of the village

Wellface began on Cobham High Street, and the clinic still sits among the village cafés and boutiques with parking nearby. Evening appointments run until 8pm from Monday to Thursday, and Saturdays until 5pm, which makes the four-week rhythm of an AQUALYX course easy to keep.

Clients visit from Oxshott, Stoke d’Abernon, Leatherhead, Weybridge and Esher, with Cobham & Stoke d’Abernon station linking us to the wider county. In south-west London? The same doctor-led treatment is available at our Wimbledon clinic, minutes from the station.
