With all the plastic surgery out there to help you lose that panza, it's no surprise that a new fat-erasing method has been introduced. The new treatment, called Aqualyxinjections, claims to be a fat removal done without surgery. Instead you pee out the fat over a few weeks. Yes! PEE as in urination.
As weird as it may sound, this may be the new beauty trend women who want a non-surgical way to lose belly fat may follow. One bride-to-be, Sharon Donaldson, tried the procedure and lovesit!

The 39-year-old British woman is one of the first people to try the treatment which costs 1,000 pounds or about $1,700. She decided to have it done before her wedding day and was able to get rid of fat from her face and stomach.
This new fad is considered an alternative to liposuction but it's still controversial. The water solution is injected through a needle which contains an ingredient that binds with fat tissue and breaks it down. Then over a period of three weeks, you urinate the fat out.
Donaldson managed to lose four dress sizes before her wedding day and she says it was a simple procedure. During the sessions, she was injected in the fatty areas with the Aqualyx injections which is ideal if you have stubborn body fat that won't go away.
As with any weight loss treatment, doctors are wary of it because of its newness. They are especially concerned with Aqualyx injections because the fat can be reabsorbed into the system and it may pose a health risk if it gets into the bloodstream. This can make your cholesterol and glucose levels rise causing other health problems. Due to its spot reducing qualities, it can also cause you to absorb fat in other parts of the body and make you end up with a disproportionate figure.
Although this might sound like a dream come true for many women, it is best to proceed with caution because it is still new and can pose certain health risks. If you are seriously considering having fat removed, doctors say liposuction is a safer bet.
It disgusts me to know that people are this desperate to lose weight that they would do this to their bodies. I'm scared of taking regular aspirin, so the idea of injection myself with this foreign water solution scares me! I think it's best that we try to maintain a balanced healthy lifestyle instead of focusing on stubborn chichos. You never know what health complications you may end up with if you follow through with a procedure still foreign to many medical professionals.
