Treatment Overview
Micro Chin Lipolysis Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to eliminate localized submental (double chin) fat and refine jawline contours. Using micro-dose Korean lipolytic formulations, typically including deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine, the procedure breaks down fat cells under the chin. These fat cells are naturally metabolized and eliminated via the lymphatic system.
This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate double chin fullness seeking precise, natural-looking jawline definition without surgery or liposuction.
Korea is internationally recognized for Micro Chin Lipolysis programs that integrate:
- Micro-dose, multi-point injection techniques for accurate and even fat reduction
- Ultrasound-guided injection for precise targeting of submental fat
- AI-assisted facial mapping for optimal lower-face aesthetics
- Optional combination with RF or HIFU for skin tightening and lifting
- Safe outpatient procedures with minimal downtime
This approach ensures effective, precise fat reduction with refined lower-face aesthetics.
