Treatment Overview
Aqualyx Double Chin Injection in Korea is a non-surgical, injectable fat reduction treatment specifically designed to eliminate submental (double chin) fat and refine the jawline. Using Aqualyx’s advanced deoxycholic acid-based formula, the injection targets fat cells under the chin, breaking them down so they are naturally metabolized and eliminated through the lymphatic system.
The treatment is ideal for patients with mild to moderate submental fullness, providing gradual, natural-looking contouring of the jawline without surgery or liposuction.
Korea is internationally recognized for Aqualyx Double Chin programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided injection for precise targeting of submental fat
- Microinjection techniques for uniform fat dissolution
- AI-assisted facial contour planning for a natural jawline
- Combination therapy with RF or HIFU for skin tightening and enhanced contouring
- Outpatient sessions with minimal downtime
This ensures safe, effective reduction of double chin fat and improved lower-face contours.
