Treatment Overview
Aqualyx Arm Fat Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce localized arm fat and improve arm contour. Utilizing Aqualyx, a deoxycholic acid-based lipolytic solution, this procedure selectively destroys fat cells in the upper arms. The broken-down fat is then naturally metabolized and removed through the body’s lymphatic system.
This treatment is ideal for patients with localized arm fat resistant to diet and exercise, seeking gradual, natural-looking arm slimming without surgery or liposuction.
Korea is internationally recognized for Aqualyx Arm programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided injections for precise fat targeting
- Micro-dose, multi-point injection techniques for even contouring
- Optional combination with RF or HIFU for skin tightening and firming
- Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime
- AI-assisted body contour mapping for personalized treatment
This ensures safe, effective, and well-defined arm contouring.
