Look at the waist as a whole
Is your concern a small fold above a waistband, your side profile or a difference between the two sides? Describe it in ordinary clothing as well as in the mirror.
Ask how the area relates to the abdomen and back. A local treatment plan is more specific than a promise of a smaller waist.
Both sides deserve an individual assessment
Both flanks deserve assessment. Discuss differences in your starting shape and a realistic goal; perfect symmetry cannot be promised.
Confirm whether the quote covers one side, both sides or a wider combined area, and whether treatment would be staged.
Make the consultation about fit, not just fat
Mention scars, skin changes, previous procedures and health concerns. The exact product, area and your individual assessment must support the plan.
VIVO lists love handles under Aqualyx Body. The practitioner assesses your particular concern; another approach or no procedure may be more appropriate.
Think about side pressure and movement
Tell the practitioner about fitted workwear, belts, driving, side sleeping and twisting or lifting at work. Ask which activities need adapting for your procedure.
Get written aftercare and a contact for concerns. Swelling or soreness is not proof of a successful result.
Set a review point and understand the cost
Agree when both sides will be reviewed and what would justify further treatment. No waist-size reduction is guaranteed.
The owner-approved minimum Aqualyx Body charge is £99 for an eligible area up to 125 cm², with £19.99 for each additional 25 cm² or part thereof. The £30 booking deposit is deducted from the total. A practitioner confirms suitability, actual scope and the final charge; surface area does not determine injection dosage. The allowance is not automatically a two-flank or full-waist package; agree the measured eligible scope first.
Your questions, answered
Does from £99 include both love handles?
That has not been verified. It is the starting Body treatment price; the practitioner must explain the scope and individual quote before you agree to treatment.
Is this the same as treating the stomach?
No. These are separate consultation topics. The proposed boundaries and any combined plan need to be clearly explained and clinically appropriate.
Can you guarantee a smaller waist size?
No. A clothing size or waist measurement is not a guaranteed outcome, and this page does not assign a promised reduction.
