Treatment Overview
Face & Chin Fat Dissolving Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce localized fat in the face and submental area (chin), creating a slimmer, more contoured lower-face appearance. Using advanced Korean lipolytic formulations, such as deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine, the injections selectively target fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated via the lymphatic system.
The treatment is ideal for patients with mild to moderate facial and chin fat, offering gradual, natural-looking contouring of the cheeks, jawline, and chin without surgery or liposuction.
Korea is internationally recognized for Face & Chin Fat Dissolving programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided injections for precise targeting of facial and submental fat
- Microinjection techniques for uniform fat reduction and natural contours
- AI-assisted facial mapping for optimal overall balance and symmetry
- Optional combination with RF, HIFU, or thread lifting for enhanced skin tightening
- Outpatient sessions with minimal downtime
This ensures safe, effective reduction of facial and chin fat with improved lower-face aesthetics.
