Aqualyx vs Kybella: The Definitive Comparison

Aqualyx and Kybella are both injectable fat dissolving treatments based on deoxycholic acid derivatives — but they are not identical. Aqualyx is the original European-developed treatment, manufactured in Italy and on the market since 2009, with more than 4 million vials administered across 65 countries.

Kybella (known as Belkyra outside the US) is a North American product approved by the FDA in 2015, indicated specifically for submental fat. Aqualyx, by contrast, can be used to contour multiple body areas including the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs and arms — under the discretion of a trained medical professional.

Choosing the original Aqualyx means choosing a treatment with deep European clinical heritage, traceable vial holograms ensuring authenticity, and an established Aqualyx Certified Clinic network across New Zealand. Aqualyx™ is a Class III medical device, Medsafe registered.
