Fat Dissolving Injection Korea: Prices, Options and How We Decide

Looking up a fat dissolving injection Korea price and wondering whether a few cc of solution will really shift a stubborn chin or belly?

Stay with this page before you compare quotes, because most figures you will find online carry no unit.

By the end you will know our price per cc for face and body, what fat-selective energy costs beside it, how recovery runs day by day, how many days to plan in Seoul, and who should ask first.

Hello, I'm Dr. Jang Dong-hoon, Founder & Medical Director of THE Beautiful Clinic in Seoul. The doctor who examines you plans and treats you, and nobody sells you a package to be done by someone you never met. Clinic staff interpret at no charge, arranged for your appointment time.

I wrote this because a price without a unit cannot be compared, and the unit on our list is cc. Two quotes for one session can describe very different amounts of product.

The direct answer: 150,000 KRW for 2cc on the face and 299,000 KRW for 2cc on the body, from the clinic's price list dated 20 August 2026. Whether an injection or energy suits you better is decided at the exam, not from the price.

Fat dissolving injection prices at our Gangnam clinic

These are list prices in Korean won, taken from the price list dated 20 August 2026. The final figure is confirmed at consultation, once the doctor has looked at the area you want treated.

Both fat-dissolving injections on our list are priced per 2cc, and the face and body versions are separate products at separate prices. Violet injection is a third 2cc injection on the body menu; whether it belongs in your plan is something the doctor decides at consultation rather than something you choose from a page.

Why a price per session tells you very little

A quote for "one session" means nothing until you know the area and the volume. Ask any clinic, including us, how many cc a figure covers and how many areas it includes. Then the comparison is fair.

What a fat dissolving injection does to a fat cell

On a fat dissolving injection Korea menu, one name can cover several products. Some are built on deoxycholic acid, a bile acid the body already makes to digest fat from food; others are choline-based, and some combine the two with phosphatidylcholine. Placed in the fat layer, they break open the membrane of the fat cell, and the body carries the debris away through the lymphatic vessels over the following weeks. Which product fits the area is confirmed at consultation.

Three practical points follow from that mechanism:

• It works only where it is placed. A pocket under the chin or a small pouch below the navel can respond. A whole abdomen is a job for energy such as ONDA rather than a handful of injections.
• It is slow. Swelling makes the area look bigger first, and the change shows from 2 to 4 weeks, so the shape you fly home with is not the result.
• It is not weight loss. Treated fat cells generally do not come back, but the cells around them can still grow if your weight rises.

Injection lipolysis is regulated differently from country to country, and some products are used off-label in some markets, so check the status where you live before you travel. Fat grafting, fat transfer and buccal fat removal often sit beside fat dissolving injections Korea results, but they add fat or remove a fat pad surgically, and none of them is on the clinic's menu. Under-eye fat repositioning with Agnes is, and whether it suits your eyes is assessed in person.

Injection, energy, or both?

Our Body Sculpting Centre analyses your proportions and where fat actually sits before choosing anything. Abdomen, thigh, arm and flank behave differently, and reducing volume without tightening skin is how a treated area ends up looking softer instead of sharper.

ONDA microwave treatment uses patented Coolwaves energy that is absorbed preferentially by fat. The 7 mm head reaches the fat layer of the double chin, deep cheek, abdomen and upper arm, while the 3 mm head tightens epidermis and dermis. Contact cooling keeps the risk to the surface low, and most patients need no anaesthetic cream at all.

InMode pairs radiofrequency with a high-voltage pulse that acts on the fat-cell membrane, while the RF above it remodels collagen. An infrared sensor reads skin temperature 1,000 times a second and holds the epidermis below 43 °C.

What a body contouring session involves

1. 1Assessment. We measure your proportions and map where the fat actually sits, region by region, before a device or a syringe is mentioned.
2. 2The choice of tool. ONDA and Body InMode handle fat with tightening, MICOOL covers localised reduction, ULFIT works on laxity, Scizer on focal areas, Vanquish on broad zones and PunchWave on cellulite.
3. 3Treatment, only where it is needed. Selective, region-by-region work rather than one package applied to everyone. ONDA appointments are short and usually run without numbing cream.
4. 4Afterwards. Across the body programme, expect nothing to mild tenderness. Ask us what to expect after the specific injection you are given. That belongs in the consultation, not on a price list.

Injections are priced per 2cc; energy is priced per kJ, per pad or per minute. How many sessions your silhouette needs comes from the area, not from a package, and the body programme is maintained in courses rather than finished in one visit.

For planning repeat visits, ONDA holds around six months and InMode around six months. The aim is a smoother line; circumference tends to follow, but the line is the brief.

After fat dissolving injections, drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day and skip the sauna and alcohol for a week. Swelling and a firm feel last 2 to 5 days, and hives are a reason to message us straight away. Sessions are usually 2 to 4 weeks apart, 3 to 5 times, with change showing from 2 to 4 weeks, and injections can share a day with body ONDA.

MICOOL is the body option you can fly on the same day. A session takes about two hours, and redness, swelling or numbness can last 1 to 2 weeks. Results show from 4 weeks and settle over 2 to 3 months, and a repeat comes after 4 to 6 weeks.

Double chin injection in Korea: what the face price covers

A double chin injection is the face version on our list: 150,000 KRW for 2cc of the Bella choline face injection, on the list of 20 August 2026, before 10% VAT. The area under the chin is small, so 2cc is a real unit of treatment there rather than a sample, and the doctor decides at consultation whether one session or a course of 3 to 5 makes sense.

Two things decide whether it is the right tool. The fullness has to be soft fat you can pinch, not muscle, a gland or a short jawline, which no injection changes. And the skin over it has to spring back, because if it is already loose, we plan ONDA with its 7 mm head for the fat layer of the double chin, or tightening, into the same visit. Swelling under the chin shows more than on the body, so put a double chin injection early in your stay rather than the day before a flight.

Who it suits, and who should ask first

This programme suits a localised area that diet and exercise have not changed, and it suits people who accept a course rather than a single visit. It is not a weight-loss plan.

As a general rule, you are a reasonable candidate for a fat dissolving injection when:

1. 1your weight has been stable for a few months
2. 2the fat is soft and pinchable, for example under the chin, along the jowl, on a lower-belly pouch or the upper arm
3. 3the skin over it still springs back when you let go of the pinch
4. 4you can live with several days of swelling and a result that builds over weeks

It is usually the wrong tool if the area is large, such as the whole abdomen or both thighs, if the skin hangs more than the area is full, or if fullness under the chin comes from muscle, glands or a short jawline. Pregnancy and breastfeeding, an infection at the site, a bleeding disorder and a known allergy to an ingredient are reasons to wait. Whether you fit is confirmed when the doctor examines the area in person.

• Tell us your medical history in consultation, including any medication that affects healing. We ask this before every treatment.
• If your flight date is fixed, say so when you message. Sequencing is easy when we know the dates, and awkward when we do not.
• If the concern is a heavy lower face rather than body fat, ONDA along the jawline may fit better. Our ONDA price breakdown by kJ sets out the face and body figures side by side.

Body InMode is listed at 199,000 KRW for 15 minutes and 349,000 KRW for 30 minutes, and the rest of the body treatment options are priced the same way: by dose, not by promise.

Recovery day by day, and how many days to plan in Seoul

For many people the course after the injection looks like this:

• Treatment day: stinging or burning while the product goes in, easing within minutes to an hour, then swelling and a firm feel.
• Days 2 to 5: swelling and firmness, which the clinic lists for 2 to 5 days, with bruising if a small vessel was nicked and some numbness over the area.
• Weeks 1 to 2: swelling settles, though small firm spots can be felt under the skin for a few weeks.
• From weeks 2 to 4: the change starts to show, and the next session usually falls 2 to 4 weeks after the last one.

Swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness and firmness are the common, temporary reactions. Serious events are uncommon but documented: a systematic review of deoxycholic acid injections for chin and jowl fat describes injury to the nerve that moves the corner of the mouth, seen as an uneven smile, and skin injury at the injection site. Blood-thinning medicines and supplements make bruising worse, so list them before treatment.

If, once you are home, the swelling grows after day five, the area turns hot, red or very painful, the skin changes colour or your smile becomes uneven, see a doctor where you are promptly and take photos. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises medical travellers to arrange follow-up care at home before they leave.

Most people who search fat dissolving injection Korea are also asking how long to stay. The clinic is closed on Sundays and public holidays, so a Saturday-evening or Sunday arrival means Monday at the earliest. Under the chin the swelling shows more than on the body, so leaving two to three days between a chin injection and the flight home lets the peak pass while you are still in Seoul. Body areas usually need less, and MICOOL is the body option you can fly on the same day.

What changes the price

1. 1Volume. Injections are listed per 2cc: 150,000 KRW on the face, 299,000 KRW on the body.
2. 2Area. Face and body sit on different menus at different prices, and more than one area means more than one line on the quote.
3. 3Energy dose. ONDA is charged by kJ, InMode by the minute, MICOOL by the pad. A larger zone needs a larger dose.
4. 4Number of sessions. The body programme is maintained in courses, so ask for the cost of the plan rather than the cost of one visit.

When you are ready, tick the Body Sculpting Centre in the booking selector and send the area you want assessed on WhatsApp. If this is your first visit to Seoul, read what patients ask before they come first.
