Treatment Overview
Face & Body Fat Dissolving Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to eliminate localized fat deposits in both facial and body areas, improving contours, definition, and symmetry. Using advanced Korean lipolytic formulations—commonly containing deoxycholic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and medical-grade fat-melting agents—this procedure selectively targets fat cells, which are naturally metabolized and removed via the lymphatic system.
The treatment is ideal for stubborn fat areas including the double chin, jawline, cheeks, abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, hips, knees, bra fat, and back rolls, allowing for a harmonious and natural-looking slimming effect.
Korea is internationally recognized for advanced Face & Body Fat Dissolving Injection protocols that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided fat mapping for precise injection depth
- Multi-layer microinjection techniques for uniform fat reduction
- AI-assisted body and facial contour analysis for personalized treatment
- Combination therapy with RF, HIFU, or EMSculpt for enhanced tightening
- Lymphatic drainage programs to accelerate fat elimination
- Outpatient, low-downtime treatment protocols
This approach ensures effective fat reduction, improved facial and body contours, and minimal recovery time.
