Treatment Overview
K-Shape Body Contouring Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits and sculpt body contours for a more defined and proportional silhouette. Using advanced Korean lipolytic formulations, often including deoxycholic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and specialized body-contouring agents, K-Shape selectively targets fat cells, which are naturally metabolized and eliminated by the lymphatic system.
K-Shape is effective for stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, hips, knees, back rolls, bra fat, and waistline, producing gradual, natural-looking slimming and contouring results.
Korea is internationally recognized for K-Shape programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided fat mapping for precise injection depth
- Microinjection techniques for uniform fat reduction
- AI-assisted body line analysis for personalized contouring
- Combination therapy with RF, HIFU, or EMSculpt for enhanced tightening
- Lymphatic drainage programs to accelerate fat elimination
- Outpatient sessions with minimal downtime
This ensures effective fat reduction, improved body contours, and harmonious silhouette enhancement.
