Treatment Overview
FatCut Arm Slimming Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to target stubborn upper-arm fat and improve arm contour and definition. Utilizing advanced Korean lipolytic formulations, typically containing deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine, the injection breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the lymphatic system. Some formulations also include ingredients that enhance skin firmness and elasticity.
This procedure is ideal for patients with localized arm fat resistant to diet and exercise, seeking gradual, natural-looking arm slimming without surgery.
Korea is internationally recognized for FatCut Arm Slimming programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided injections for precise targeting of arm fat
- Micro-dose, multi-point injection techniques for smooth and even contouring
- Optional combination with RF or HIFU for enhanced skin tightening
- Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime
- AI-assisted arm mapping for personalized treatment
This ensures safe, effective, and well-defined upper-arm contouring.
