Treatment Overview
Dr. Lipo Fat Reduction Injection in Korea is a non-surgical, injectable body-contouring treatment designed to permanently reduce localized fat deposits and refine body contours. Using advanced Korean lipolytic formulations—commonly including deoxycholic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and medical-grade fat-dissolving agents—Dr. Lipo selectively destroys adipocytes (fat cells), which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the lymphatic system.
The treatment is commonly applied to stubborn fat areas such as the double chin, jawline, abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, hips, knees, bra fat, and back rolls, producing smooth, natural-looking results without surgery.
Korean clinics offering Dr. Lipo integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided mapping of fat thickness for precise injection depth
- Microinjection techniques for uniform fat reduction
- AI-assisted body contour planning for personalized results
- Combination therapy with RF, HIFU, or EMSculpt for enhanced tightening
- Lymphatic drainage programs to accelerate fat elimination
- Outpatient, low-downtime treatment sessions
This comprehensive approach ensures safe fat reduction, improved body definition, and minimal recovery time.
