What Are Fat-Loss / Fat-Dissolving                  Injections

• These are minimally-invasive injection treatments aimed at targeting stubborn localized fat deposits (rather than general weight loss) in areas where diet/exercise may not be sufficient.
• They commonly use active substances like deoxycholic acid, sodium deoxycholate, phosphatidylcholine, etc., which act to destroy fat cell membranes (adipocytolysis) and allow the body to naturally clear the fat cells.
• Popular treatment areas include under-the-chin (submental fat), jawline/facial fat pads, arms, thighs, abdomen, “love handles”.

    Why Choose Korea for This Treatment

• Korean clinics are strongly positioned in non-surgical aesthetic procedures, with advanced protocols and multiple clinic options for fat-dissolving injections.
• Many clinics provide international-patient support (English language, consultation service) and tailor procedures for aesthetic/beauty travellers.
• The procedure is offered as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for localized fat reduction in Korea, which may appeal for those seeking minimal downtime.

    Typical Treatment Menu & What to Expect

    Service Menu Snapshot

• Consultation & assessment of fat deposit area: targeted zones identified (ex: double chin, jowls, arms)
• Grid or marking of injection points, numbing if required ● Injection of fat-dissolving agent into target fat pads ● Post-injection care and schedule for repeat sessions (often multiple sessions recommended)

    Session & Downtime

• Treatment time: Usually 20-30 minutes (could be more depending on area) according to some clinics.
• Downtime is minimal: Some swelling, redness, bruising or firmness in the treated area for a few days is common.
• Results: Because the fat cells need time to be cleared, visible improvement may appear after several weeks; many sessions may be needed (3-5 sessions or more) depending on the area and goal.

    Cost Guidance

• According to one summary, typical per-session cost could range from ₩200,000 to ₩500,000 KRW (~US$150-400) depending on clinic, area, number of injections.
• Some sources suggest higher ranges for more extensive areas (ex: ₩300,000-₩800,000 or more) depending on product brand, number of sessions.

    Who Is a Good Candidate?

✅ Good for you if:

• You have small to moderate localized fat deposits (double chin, small bulges) that resist diet/exercise.
• Want a non-surgical option with minimal downtime.
• Are at or near your ideal weight but still have isolated fat pockets.

⚠️ Consider caution if:

• You have large volume fat accumulation that might be better addressed with liposuction. Seoul.clinic
• You expect dramatic, large-scale changes in one session — realistic expectations are important.
• You have certain medical conditions — always require full consultation.

    What to Ask or Check at Your        Consultation

• What agent/brand is being used (deoxycholic acid? etc) and is it approved?
• How many sessions are expected and at what interval?
• What areas will be treated and how many injection points?
• What are the potential side-effects and downtime?
• Are the results permanent (i.e., treated fat cells gone) and what maintenance is needed? Seoul.clinic
• What is the full cost including consultation, treatment, after-care?
• Are there before/after photos of similar cases?
• For international patients: translation, logistic support, follow-up care.
