Treatment Overview
FatX Cellulite Injection Treatment in Korea is a minimally invasive, non-surgical therapy designed to target cellulite and localized fat deposits on areas such as the thighs, buttocks, and hips. The treatment uses lipolytic injections, often containing phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and deoxycholate, to dissolve stubborn fat cells beneath the skin, reduce the appearance of dimpling, and improve skin smoothness.
Korean clinics frequently combine FatX injections with complementary treatments such as RF skin tightening, shockwave therapy, Body HIFU, Carboxytherapy, or EMSculpt to enhance cellulite reduction, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall body contour.
Treatment plans are personalized according to cellulite severity, fat distribution, and skin elasticity to ensure gradual, natural-looking results.
Korea is internationally recognized for FatX programs that integrate:
- Targeted lipolytic injections for cellulite-prone areas
- Optional combination with RF, HIFU, shockwave, or EMSculpt
- AI- or ultrasound-guided injection mapping for precision
- Multi-session protocols for safe and effective results
- Outpatient procedures with minimal downtime
This ensures safe, effective, and precise non-surgical cellulite reduction.
