Treatment Overview
FatX Thigh Fat Dissolving Injection in Korea is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment targeting stubborn fat deposits in the inner thighs, outer thighs, and saddlebag areas. Using advanced lipolytic solutions, typically based on deoxycholate or phosphatidylcholine, FatX injections break down localized fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.
Korean clinics often combine FatX thigh injections with additional therapies such as HIFU, RF, or lymphatic drainage to enhance fat reduction, improve skin firmness, and refine thigh contours.
Treatment programs are personalized according to each patient’s fat distribution, skin elasticity, and body-shaping goals, ensuring natural-looking, balanced results.
Korea is internationally recognized for FatX programs that integrate:
- Targeted lipolytic injections for inner and outer thigh fat
- Optional combination with HIFU, RF, or lymphatic therapy
- Ultrasound- or AI-assisted mapping for precise targeting
- Multi-session protocols for gradual, safe fat reduction
- Outpatient procedures with minimal downtime
This approach ensures effective, safe, and precise non-surgical thigh fat reduction.
