Treatment Overview
Kabeline is a KFDA-approved fat-dissolving injection that is becoming increasingly popular in Korea for facial slimming and contour refinement. While most skin boosters focus on hydration or collagen stimulation, Kabeline specifically targets localized fat deposits—particularly in the double chin, jowls, and lower cheeks.
Kabeline is often compared to Juvelook, another Korean-developed booster:
- Juvelook: A hybrid of Poly-D-Lactic Acid (PDLA) + Hyaluronic Acid (HA), designed to stimulate collagen and hydrate, improving wrinkles, scars, and skin quality.
- Kabeline: A lipolytic solution that eliminates stubborn fat cells for sharper facial contours.
Many Korean dermatologists combine the two: Kabeline for contouring + Juvelook for skin regeneration.
Purpose & Benefits
- Fat Dissolution: Breaks down fat cells in chin, jowls, or cheeks.
- V-Line Enhancement: Defines the jawline and slims the lower face.
- Skin Tightening Support: Mild collagen stimulation for firmness.
- Non-Surgical Alternative: Avoids liposuction or invasive contouring surgery.
- Combination Power: Works well with Juvelook for skin + contour care.
- Natural-Looking Results: No artificial volume; just refined shape.
Ideal Candidates
Kabeline in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 20s–50s with stubborn facial fat.
- Patients with a double chin, jowls, or rounder lower face.
- Individuals comparing Kabeline vs Juvelook:
- Kabeline: Best for slimming and contouring.
- Juvelook: Best for collagen stimulation, scars, and wrinkles.
- Men and women seeking both V-line definition and skin rejuvenation.
- Patients who prefer non-surgical contouring.
Possible Risks & Complications
Kabeline is safe when performed in Korea’s advanced dermatology clinics, but mild side effects may include:
- Swelling & Redness: Common, lasts 2–5 days.
- Tenderness or Warmth: Natural response as fat cells break down.
- Bruising: Temporary at injection sites.
- Rare Risks: Uneven fat loss (minimized with expert injection mapping).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though non-surgical, Kabeline treatment follows precise medical protocols:
- Localized Micro-Injections: Targeted to fat pockets under chin, jowls, or cheeks.
- Customized Mapping: Injection points planned for natural contouring.
- Gradual Reduction: Fat breakdown occurs over weeks.
- Multi-Session Treatment: Typically 2–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
- Combination Protocols: Paired with Juvelook, PDO threads, or HIFU for lifting.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Swelling, redness, or mild tenderness.
- 2–5 Days: Swelling reduces; contour begins to refine.
- 2–4 Weeks: Noticeable fat reduction visible.
- Multiple Sessions: Recommended for natural, long-lasting results.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid pressing or massaging the area for 1 week.
- Stay hydrated to aid fat elimination.
- Avoid alcohol and heavy meals for 48 hours.
- Apply SPF daily to protect healing skin.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Swelling may mask results initially.
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Slimmer jawline and refined contours.
- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Jawline sharpens, fat reduction complete.
- Long-Term: Results are semi-permanent, as dissolved fat cells do not return (though lifestyle maintenance is important).
