Fat-Dissolving Injections in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Korea is a world leader in non-surgical body contouring, and fat-dissolving injections are a highly popular and effective treatment. These injections, also known as lipolytic injections, are a safe and minimally invasive way to reduce stubborn, localized fat deposits on both the face and body. By targeting fat cells directly, they help to slim and contour specific areas without surgery or significant downtime.


What are Fat-Dissolving Injections?

Fat-dissolving injections are a non-surgical procedure where a solution is injected into the subcutaneous fat layer. This solution breaks down the membranes of fat cells, causing them to rupture. The body's lymphatic system then naturally flushes these destroyed fat cells out over the following weeks, resulting in a gradual and permanent reduction in fat in the treated area.


Popular Types of Fat-Dissolving Injections in Korea

  • Deoxycholic Acid Injections: FDA-approved injections specifically for reducing submental fat (double chin).
  • Lipolytic Injections: Customized cocktails often containing ingredients like PPC, used to treat various body areas.
  • Sculpting Injections: Popular in Korea for slimming the jawline and creating a more defined "V-line" facial shape.
