LemonBottle vs Aqualyx: Which Fat Dissolving Solution is Right for You?

In the world of non-surgical body contouring, fat dissolving injections have become a popular way to target stubborn pockets of fat that just won’t shift with diet and exercise. Two names you’ll hear most often are Aqualyx and the newer LemonBottle. But what’s the difference between them and which one might be the best choice for your clients? Let’s break it down.

What are they?

Aqualyx is a widely used fat dissolving product made from deoxycholic acid and other compounds. It has been on the market for over a decade and is supported by clinical studies, making it a trusted option for treating areas like the double chin, love handles, and thighs.

LemonBottle is a newer formula that combines natural ingredients - bromelain, lecithin, riboflavin - and other natural extracts. It’s especially marketed for its faster results and less swelling compared to older formulas.

How do they work?

Both products are injected directly into small, localised fat deposits. The active ingredients break down the fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally metabolise and remove the fat over several weeks.

Key differences at a glance:

	Aqualyx®	Lemon Bottle®
Active ingredients	Mainly deoxycholic acid	Natural Ingredients
Time on market	Over 10 years, clinically proven	Newer, growing in popularity
Swelling & downtime	More swelling/bruising common	Marketed as causing less swelling
Number of sessions	Usually 2–4 (sometimes more)	Often fewer sessions needed
Popular areas	Body and chin	Especially popular for double chin and body contouring
Cost	Moderate	Often slightly higher

Which works faster?

Many clients and practitioners report that LemonBottle tends to show visible changes slightly sooner, sometimes after just one session. Aqualyx usually requires a few treatments spaced a few weeks apart to see full results.

That said, everyone’s body responds differently and results depend on lifestyle, metabolism, and the amount of fat being treated.

Safety and comfort

Both treatments are safe when performed by trained professionals, but some clients find LemonBottle injections to be less painful and experience less swelling afterwards. Aqualyx can sometimes cause more significant swelling and tenderness in the days after treatment.

Which one should you choose?

Ultimately, the best choice depends on:

• The area you’re treating

• How quickly you want to see results

• Your pain tolerance and downtime preference

• Your practitioner’s experience and recommendation

Both LemonBottle and Aqualyx are powerful tools to help contour and refine stubborn areas of fat — without surgery. Choosing the right product often comes down to your unique needs and the expertise of your injector.
