Treatment Overview
Slim Injection Therapy is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment widely offered in Korean dermatology clinics to help patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured body without downtime. It involves injecting a blend of lipolytic compounds, vitamins, amino acids, and metabolic boosters into targeted fat deposits. These ingredients break down fat cell membranes and accelerate fat metabolism, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the dissolved fat through the lymphatic system.
Unlike surgical liposuction, Slim Injection Therapy is minimally invasive, safe, and customizable. It is commonly used for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, flanks, upper arms, knees, and double chin, making it a versatile option for both body and facial contouring.
