Treatment Overview
L-Carnitine Lipolysis Injection in Korea is a non-surgical fat-burning and slimming injection that boosts metabolism and helps the body convert fat into energy. L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays a vital role in transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are broken down and burned.
In Korean dermatology and aesthetic clinics, L-Carnitine injections are often used for localized fat reduction in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, calves, and double chin. It is frequently combined with deoxycholic acid fat-dissolving injections, hyaluronidase, mesotherapy, or RF tightening to enhance contouring results.
