Treatment Overview
LipoLab PPC Fat Dissolving Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment specifically designed to target localized fat deposits and refine body and facial contours. Using advanced Korean lipolytic formulations that typically include phosphatidylcholine (PPC), deoxycholic acid, and other fat-melting agents, LipoLab selectively disrupts fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated through the lymphatic system.
The treatment is effective for stubborn fat in areas such as the double chin, jawline, cheeks, abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, hips, knees, bra fat, and back rolls, offering gradual, natural-looking fat reduction and body contouring.
Korea is internationally recognized for LipoLab PPC programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided fat mapping for precise injection depth
- Microinjection techniques for uniform fat dissolution
- AI-assisted facial and body contour planning for personalized results
- Combination therapy with RF, HIFU, or EMSculpt for enhanced tightening
- Lymphatic drainage support to accelerate fat elimination
- Outpatient sessions with minimal downtime
This ensures safe, effective fat reduction, improved body contours, and natural silhouette enhancement.
