Treatment Overview
PPC Injection (Phosphatidylcholine Injection) in Korea is a non-surgical fat-dissolving therapy that specifically targets stubborn fat deposits under the chin. Widely used for double chin reduction, PPC injections break down fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally metabolize and eliminate them over time.
In Korea, dermatology clinics often enhance PPC injections with deoxycholic acid, L-carnitine, peptides, and vitamins to improve results. This makes PPC not only effective for fat loss but also beneficial for skin tightening, circulation, and rejuvenation—helping patients achieve a slimmer, sharper V-line jawline without surgery.
Purpose & Benefits
- Double Chin Fat Reduction: Dissolves localized submental fat cells.
- Jawline Contouring: Creates a slimmer, more defined facial profile.
- Skin Tightening: Prevents sagging after fat loss through collagen stimulation.
- Non-Surgical & Quick: Injections completed in 15–30 minutes.
- Natural, Gradual Results: Fat reduction happens progressively.
