PIAF Clinic Fat-Dissolving Injection

If incisions, anesthesia, and recovery periods are burdensome

Fat-dissolving injections are a non-surgical procedure that injects ingredients to dissolve the fat cell membrane in areas with concentrated fat, allowing the dissolved fat to be gradually expelled through the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Unlike liposuction, which removes a large amount at once, this 20-minute procedure allows for immediate return to daily life, making it suitable for those who find surgery burdensome or have less fat. The composition and injection intervals vary by area and purpose, typically conducted every 2-4 weeks over several sessions. Results and required sessions vary by individual based on fat volume and body type.

Types of PIAF Fat-Dissolving Injections

01/

Deoxycholic Acid Fat-Dissolving Injection

This fat-dissolving injection contains deoxycholic acid, approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Deoxycholic acid is a bile acid naturally present in the body, which dissolves the fat cell membrane, destroying the cell and helping emulsified fat to be expelled. It is mainly used for areas with localized fat, like the double chin, and is known to aid in collagen production in the treated area, benefiting skin elasticity.

  • Approved ingredient by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety
  • Reduction of double chin fat
  • Expected improvement in skin elasticity
  • Naturally occurring substance in the body

Contour Injection

This injection combines fat-dissolving ingredients with those that aid circulation and reduce swelling, used for both face and body. It reduces fat layers while promoting lymphatic circulation to soften stubborn cellulite, and is considered for evenly treating larger areas like cheeks, jawline, arms, and thighs. PIAF does not use steroids and adjusts ingredient ratios for each area.

  • Applicable to the entire face, including double chin
  • Cellulite improvement
  • No steroid mixture
  • Adjusted composition for each area

Body Fat-Dissolving Injection

Targets stubborn fat in the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, and calves that are hard to manage with exercise and diet. PIAF first identifies areas with concentrated fat and cellulite, marks the injection points in a grid pattern, and performs the procedure to ensure even reduction without hollowing specific areas.

  • Abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs
  • Grid design before injection
  • Evenly reducing lines
  • Non-surgical management

Facial Fat-Dissolving Injection

Reduces fat in areas like double chin, buccal fat, and cheek fat that make the face appear larger, creating a slimmer facial line. Since even small changes in the face can alter one's appearance, PIAF analyzes facial shape and fat distribution, then finely adjusts the injection layer and dosage to aim for a natural V-line.

  • Design after facial shape analysis
  • Precise adjustment of dosage and layer

It reduces the number of fat cells, not just their size. When the ingredients of the fat-dissolving injection enter the subcutaneous fat layer, the membrane surrounding the fat cells loosens, causing the cells to burst and the fat inside to disperse into small particles. The dispersed fat is transported to the liver through the lymphatic and circulatory systems and metabolized out of the body. This process occurs gradually over 2-4 weeks after the procedure, with changes becoming more noticeable with each session. Since the number of fat cells decreases, results tend to last longer if weight is maintained, but remaining cells can enlarge with overeating or rapid weight gain. The required sessions and response vary by area and fat volume, and realistic goals are set during consultation.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.How many sessions are needed?
Small areas like the double chin typically require 2-3 sessions, while larger areas like the abdomen and thighs may need 3-5 sessions every 2-4 weeks. The number of sessions varies based on fat volume and response, so a plan is set during consultation according to your goals.
Q.How is it different from liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat at once using a cannula, requiring anesthesia and recovery, but offering significant changes. Fat-dissolving injections are non-surgical, gradually reducing fat cells with injections, suitable for those with less fat or who cannot afford recovery time. The choice depends on fat volume and goals, decided after consultation.
Q.Can I exercise immediately after the procedure?
Light walking is possible from the day of the procedure, but it's best to avoid intense exercise and saunas for about a week. Regular exercise and diet afterward can help maintain results.
