Because I wanted to dissolve fat areas in my face youre not really supposed to. I have injected Aqualyx intramuscularly (too deep), intranervously (into nerve), and intradermally (into skin). I will tell you what happens for each, and from my personal experience after 5 sessions.
This is meant for the inhibcels who are more scared than even normie foids on r/DIYaesthetics and tiktok. This is a follow up to my other post, where I show how I did it.

Injecting too superficially
This happened to me when I injected Aqualyx right below my ear/behind ramus. Because it was at a really weird angle in front of my bathroom mirror and I was trying a 6mm needle, so I ended up injecting a into the skin. When injecting you will feel a sharp pain and a immediately a 1cm white lump will appear. In about 24 hours the white lump will fade and you will see a red no larger than 1cm.
Ignore the blue grid, they are leftover smudges from my pen when drawing the injection points because I took the pic soon after. But if you look closely you will see the red dot. That is essentially the intradermal injection mark that will fade over a few days. It is not more noticable than if you just popped a small pimple.
Injecting into a nerve
I injected directly into a submental nerve twice below my chin. Again there was a sharp pain but I didnt even realize I had injected into a nerve until about a week later when I touched the spot and it was completely numb. The numbness is about 1-2cm and fades over a month, there is also no visual indicator of damage.
Injecting too deep
This happened because I tried to inject below my zygomatic arch and next to my ear where there is only a very thin layer of subq fat. I also pinned using an 8mm needle 90° essentially straight into the underlying muscle. You will feel a sharp pain when injecting apart from that, it is completely harmeless.
Also, the immediate pain for any of these injections were really not as bad as ppl say (I never used lidocaine or any numbing cream). Even when I felt the sharp pain I still firmed it and pushed the liquid fully in without ever readjusting. I personally think its worth it for the specific aesthetic result I am trying to achieve, even if I may risk these adverse effects again.

My Experience with DIY Aqualyx
Hello everyone, I just did my fourth DIY session of Aqualyx in my bathroom. In total I have done three sessions on my cheeks and one for my double chin. In this thread I will give some tips and share my experience. Ingredient List 27g 8mm Needles from Amazon Alcohol wipes from Amazon Aqualyx...
