Treatment Overview
Laser Lipolysis in Korea is a minimally invasive double chin reduction treatment that uses advanced laser energy to melt fat cells and tighten the skin simultaneously. Unlike traditional liposuction, Laser Lipolysis involves only tiny incisions and local anesthesia, making it far less invasive with a faster recovery.
The procedure uses a thin laser fiber inserted under the skin to deliver controlled 1064 nm or 1444 nm laser energy, liquefying fat cells while stimulating collagen and elastin production. This dual effect reduces stubborn fat under the chin and improves skin elasticity—resulting in a slimmer, firmer jawline and a youthful neck contour.
Purpose & Benefits
- Double Chin Reduction: Targets and eliminates resistant submental fat.
- Jawline Definition: Sharpens the lower face and enhances the V-line profile.
- Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen for firmer, lifted skin.
- Minimally Invasive: Tiny incisions, minimal scarring, and short recovery.
- Long-Lasting Results: Fat cells permanently destroyed.
Ideal Candidates
Laser Lipolysis in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults with moderate double chin fat and mild skin laxity.
- Patients seeking surgical-like results without traditional liposuction.
- Individuals with good skin elasticity for optimal tightening.
- Those preferring a minimally invasive option with quick recovery.
- Patients looking for permanent results with only one treatment session.
Possible Risks & Complications
- Swelling & Redness: Common for several days after treatment.
- Bruising or Tenderness: Mild, typically resolves within 1–2 weeks.
- Temporary Numbness: Usually subsides as nerves recover.
- Small Scars: Tiny incision marks may remain but are often barely visible.
- Not Suitable For: Pregnant women, patients with uncontrolled health conditions, or those with severe obesity.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Laser-Assisted Fat Melting: A laser fiber delivers energy to melt fat cells.
- Micro-Cannula Aspiration: Liquefied fat is gently suctioned out.
- Collagen Stimulation: Laser energy contracts skin tissue and promotes collagen production.
- Precision Targeting: Ensures natural contouring of chin and jawline.
- Sessions Required: Usually one session is sufficient, with follow-ups as needed.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Mild swelling, redness, or warmth under the chin.
- 1–3 Days: Return to most normal activities; some bruising may persist.
- 1–2 Weeks: Healing continues; visible contouring begins.
- 1–3 Months: Full results as collagen regeneration and fat elimination complete.
Aftercare Tips:
- Wear a compression band if recommended by the clinic.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking for 1 week.
- Keep treated area clean to prevent infection.
- Apply sunscreen (SPF 50+) if chin/neck exposed to sunlight.
Results & Longevity
- After 1–2 Weeks: Reduction in chin fullness noticeable.
- After 1–3 Months: Significant slimming and skin tightening achieved.
- Longevity: Permanent fat removal; results last for years if body weight is maintained.
