Product quantity of Aqualyx ranges between 0.1ml (10 insulin units) and 0.3ml (30 insulin units) per injection point for maximum effect.
For the first treatment, it is recommended to administer 0.3ml (30 insulin units) per injection site regardless of area, as the most quantity of fat will be present for the first treatment.
If good results are achieved, but multiple treatments are requested, then reduce the unit quantity down to 0.2ml (20 insulin units)or in very small pockets of fat 0.1ml (10 insulin units).
When injecting near a danger zone with Aqualyx, such as the outside of the oral commission, inject away from the danger zone and towards the centre of the neck/face. This will help ensure product distribution to the safe zone only.
The inch of pinch
When using the “Pinch of an Inch” theory, we can comfortably say our client will have a reasonable level of fat in each area, “when you pinch, you get at least an inch” or if this is the clients first treatment, you will infuse the maximum recommended product at each injection site which is 0.3ml (30 insulin units). This will result in fewer injection points compared to consecutive treatments when there is a reduction of fat in the treated area.
Administer 0.3ml (30 insulin units) per injection point in your grid.
9ml will give you 30 injection points so ensure these are marked out first.
Pro Tip: 5 columns by 6 rows to create a grid of 30 injection points
Less than inch of pinch
Administer 0.2ml (20 insulin units) per injection point in your grid.
9ml will give you 45 injection points, so ensure these are marked out first.
Pro Tip: 5 columns by 9 rows to create a grid of 45 injection points per vial
Remaining fat layer
Administer 0.1ml (10 insulin units)per injection point in your grid.
9ml will give you 90 injection points so ensure these are marked out first.
Pro Tip: 9 columns by 10 rows to create a grid of 90 injection points per vial
