Treatment Overview
Mesotherapy in Korea is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses micro-injections of customized solutions to reduce fat under the chin, improve skin texture, and enhance circulation. Originally developed in France, mesotherapy has been refined in Korea to include advanced fat-dissolving compounds, vitamins, peptides, and skin-tightening boosters—making it highly effective for double chin fat reduction and facial contouring.
This minimally invasive treatment is popular among patients who want a slimmer, sharper jawline without surgery. Mesotherapy works gradually, breaking down fat cells while nourishing the skin for a smooth, rejuvenated appearance.
Purpose & Benefits
- Double Chin Reduction: Breaks down and eliminates localized submental fat.
- Skin Tightening & Firming: Boosts collagen and elastin production.
- Jawline Contouring: Creates a slimmer, V-line facial profile.
- Cellulite & Texture Improvement: Smooths unevenness and enhances skin tone.
- Non-Surgical & Quick: In-clinic procedure with minimal downtime.
Ideal Candidates
Mesotherapy in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults with mild to moderate double chin fat.
- Patients who want gradual, natural fat reduction.
- Individuals with early signs of skin laxity under the chin.
- Those preferring a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
- Patients who want fat reduction + skin rejuvenation in one treatment.
Possible Risks & Complications
- Swelling & Redness: Temporary, lasting 1–3 days.
- Bruising or Tenderness: Common but mild injection-site reaction.
- Tingling or Warmth: As fat breakdown begins.

Surgical Techniques Used

- L-Carnitine: Enhances fat metabolism and elimination.

Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Mild swelling, redness, or tingling.
- 1–3 Days: Symptoms subside; most return to normal activities.
- 2–4 Weeks: Visible fat reduction and smoother skin appear.
Aftercare Tips:
- Drink plenty of water to flush out fat metabolites.
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, and high-fat meals for 48 hours.
