Treatment Overview
S-Line Injection is a premium fat-dissolving injection therapy in Korea that targets localized fat deposits to create a slimmer and more defined body shape. The term “S-Line” refers to the ideal Korean beauty standard of having a smooth, contoured silhouette from the bust to the hips.
This treatment uses a specialized formula of lipolytic compounds (such as PPC, deoxycholic acid, and L-carnitine) combined with skin-tightening peptides, vitamins, and amino acids. The injections not only break down fat cells but also tighten skin, improve circulation, and enhance elasticity. S-Line injections are most commonly used on the abdomen, waistline, thighs, arms, flanks, and under the chin.
Purpose & Benefits
- Fat Dissolving: Breaks down stubborn localized fat deposits.
- S-Line Body Contouring: Refines waist, abdomen, hips, and thighs for smoother curves.
- Skin Tightening: Peptides and collagen stimulators prevent sagging after fat loss.
- Cellulite Reduction: Improves texture and smoothness.
- Quick, Non-Surgical Treatment: Minimal downtime compared to liposuction.
