Treatment Overview
SculpSure Submental in Korea is a non-invasive laser fat reduction treatment designed specifically to target stubborn fat beneath the chin. Using FDA-approved 1060 nm laser technology, SculpSure gently heats and destroys fat cells while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Over the following weeks, the body naturally eliminates these damaged fat cells, leading to a slimmer, more defined jawline.
Unlike injections or surgery, SculpSure is needle-free and incision-free, making it an excellent option for patients who want double chin reduction with no downtime. It is often chosen in Korea by patients seeking a sharper “V-line” contour without invasive procedures.
Purpose & Benefits
- Double Chin Fat Reduction: Eliminates submental fat permanently.
- Jawline Contouring: Improves facial balance and sharpens the V-line.
- Non-Invasive Laser: No needles, anesthesia, or surgery required.
- Quick Treatment: Each session takes about 25 minutes.
- Minimal Downtime: Patients resume normal activities immediately.
Ideal Candidates
SculpSure Submental in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults with mild to moderate double chin fat.
- Patients with good skin elasticity.

- Cooling Mechanism: Protects skin while heating fat cells.
- Treatment Time: 25 minutes per session.
- Sessions Required: 1–3 sessions, spaced 6 weeks apart.

- 6–12 Weeks: Fat gradually eliminated; results become visible.
Aftercare Tips:
