What Are Fat Dissolving Injections

Fat dissolving injections are minimally invasive contouring treatments designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. Known in Korea as 지방분해주사 or 윤곽주사, these injections break down stored fat, which is then naturally eliminated by the body over time. They are ideal for precise sculpting and refining facial and body lines without surgery or downtime.

Why Choose Min Clinic

Min Clinic in Gangnam provides medically guided, customized contouring programs based on each client’s body fat distribution and goals. Our treatment plans are designed around natural-looking improvements and safe injection protocols supervised by experienced clinicians.

Areas Treated

Fat dissolving injections are effective for both face and body, including:

• Double chin and jawline definition
• Cheeks and lower face slimming
• Bra bulge and underarm fat
• Upper arms
• Abdomen and belly line
• Love handles and waistline
• Thighs and inner knees
• Back fat and flanks

How It Works

The injection contains fat-dissolving agents that break down adipocytes (fat cells). The treated fat is gradually metabolized and removed through the lymphatic system. This reduces volume in treated areas and refines contours.

Benefits include:

• No anesthesia required
• No scarring or incisions
• Minimal downtime
• Targeted precision shaping
• Can be combined with body contouring programs

Treatment Experience

A typical session at Min Clinic follows this process:

1. Consultation and fat analysis
2. Marking and treatment planning
3. Local cooling or numbing if needed
4. Quick series of micro injections
5. Lymphatic drainage massage (optional)
6. Aftercare guidance

Sessions take about 10–20 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Results and Timeline

Results are gradual as the body processes released fat. Many clients notice visible improvement after 2–3 sessions. For optimal results, a treatment series is usually recommended at 1–2 week intervals. Once fat cells are dissolved and cleared, results can be long-lasting with consistent lifestyle habits.

Comfort, Safety, and Side Effects

Most clients tolerate treatment well. There may be temporary swelling, mild bruising, or warmth in the area for 1–3 days. Proper hydration and light lymphatic massage can support results. Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or for those with severe metabolic disorders.

Who Is a Good Candidate

This treatment is suitable if you:

• Have localized fat in specific problem areas

• Need facial slimming or jawline refinement

Aftercare

• Avoid massage for 24 hours unless instructed
• Hydrate to support fat elimination
• Avoid heat treatments and alcohol for 24 hours
• Light activity is fine the same day

FAQs

Can I lose weight with fat dissolving injections?

This treatment is for contouring, not weight loss. It targets localized fat only.

Are results permanent?

Cleared fat cells do not return, but remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Stable habits help maintain results.

Is it painful?

A mild stinging sensation may be felt, but numbing and cooling options are available for comfort.

Can I combine with other treatments?

Yes. Many clients combine this with radiofrequency tightening, HIFU, facial contour lifting, or body laser slimming for enhanced results.
