Treatment Overview
Precision Arm Lipolysis Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to target localized upper-arm fat with high accuracy. Using advanced Korean lipolytic formulations, including deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine, the treatment breaks down stubborn fat cells, which are naturally metabolized and eliminated by the lymphatic system. Some formulations may also include skin-firming and collagen-boosting agents to enhance arm elasticity and tone.
This procedure is ideal for patients with specific, stubborn pockets of arm fat who want gradual, natural-looking arm slimming without surgery.
Korea is internationally recognized for Precision Arm Lipolysis programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided injections for exact fat targeting
- Micro-dose, multi-point injection techniques for even and smooth contouring
- Optional combination with RF or HIFU for enhanced skin tightening
- Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime
- Personalized arm mapping for optimized contour
This ensures safe, effective, and well-defined upper-arm shaping.
