Fat Dissolving Injections in Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers advanced fat dissolving injections in Korea using pharmaceutical-grade deoxycholic acid (Goop) and phosphatidylcholine-based Berry Slim formulations to permanently destroy subcutaneous fat cells in the double chin, jowls, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Fat dissolving injections in Korea start from ₩69,000 per 10cc session at our Myeongdong clinic, open 365 days with 8-language support and walk-in availability for international patients.
How Do Fat Dissolving Injections Work in Korea?
Fat dissolving injections in Korea use deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine compounds injected into subcutaneous fat to permanently destroy adipocytes through cytolysis, with visible reduction in 4-6 weeks per session, starting from ₩69,000 for Berry Slim 10cc at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul.
Fat dissolving injections in Korea have become one of the most popular non-surgical body contouring treatments among both Korean residents and international medical tourists. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, fat dissolving injections permanently eliminate targeted fat deposits without surgery, anesthesia, or significant downtime. The treatment works by injecting synthetic deoxycholic acid — a molecule naturally produced by the liver to break down dietary fat — directly into stubborn subcutaneous fat pockets. Once injected, the active compound disrupts fat cell membranes through a process called cytolysis, causing the cells to rupture and release their lipid contents. The body’s lymphatic system then naturally metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed fat over 4-8 weeks. Unlike liposuction, fat dissolving injections in Korea are performed in a clinic setting within 30-45 minutes with no incisions and minimal recovery time. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek at RE:BERRY Myeongdong customizes each fat dissolving injection protocol based on fat layer thickness measured by ultrasound, treatment area dimensions, and patient goals. Common treatment zones include the double chin (submental fat), jowl lines, upper arms, abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, and bra fat. For the double chin specifically, RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers the comprehensive Double Chin All-Kill Package combining Goop injection with Inmode Fit radiofrequency and Berry Slim for maximum fat reduction and skin tightening in a single visit.

How Fat Dissolving Injections Work at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Korea
A 4-step protocol combining pharmaceutical lipolysis with radiofrequency tightening for comprehensive non-surgical fat reduction in Korea.
Fat Layer Assessment & Treatment Planning
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek begins with a hands-on assessment of fat distribution, measuring subcutaneous fat thickness using caliper and ultrasound imaging. Fat dissolving injections in Korea require precise depth calculation — injecting too shallow causes skin irregularities, while too deep misses the target fat layer. He maps the injection grid with a washable marker, typically spacing injection points 1-1.5cm apart across the treatment zone. For double chin treatment, he evaluates submental fat volume, platysma muscle position, and skin laxity to determine whether Goop alone or the full Double Chin All-Kill Package is recommended. The consultation takes 15-20 minutes and is available in 8 languages.
Topical Anesthesia & Skin Preparation
A prescription-strength topical anesthetic cream (lidocaine 4-5%) is applied to the treatment area for 20-30 minutes before fat dissolving injection. This reduces injection discomfort significantly — most patients rate pain at 3-4 out of 10 during the procedure. The skin is then cleansed with chlorhexidine antiseptic solution to prevent infection. Ice packs may be applied immediately before injection to further reduce sensation and minimize bruising at the needle entry points.
Precision Fat Dissolving Injection Protocol
The fat dissolving injection is administered using a 30-gauge needle into the subcutaneous fat layer at a depth of 6-10mm depending on the area. For the Double Chin All-Kill Package, Goop 10cc (deoxycholic acid) is injected first in a grid pattern across the submental area, followed by Inmode Fit radiofrequency applied to the full face for skin tightening, and finally Berry Slim 10cc for residual fat refinement. Each injection point delivers 0.2-0.5ml of solution. The entire fat dissolving injection procedure takes 30-45 minutes for the double chin and up to 60 minutes for larger body areas. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, only KFDA-approved fat dissolving formulations are used for all injection lipolysis procedures in Korea.
Post-Injection Care & Recovery Protocol
Immediately after fat dissolving injection, controlled swelling and warmth in the treated area are expected — this confirms the deoxycholic acid is actively disrupting fat cells. Cold compresses are applied for 10-15 minutes. Your aftercare coordinator at RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides written instructions in your language covering the 48-72 hour recovery window: avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, saunas, and direct sun exposure. Swelling peaks at day 2-3 and gradually resolves over 7-14 days. Follow-up sessions are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to allow complete fat cell elimination before re-treating the area.
What to Expect from Fat Dissolving Injections in Korea
- Permanent Fat Cell Destruction: Deoxycholic acid permanently destroys fat cells through cytolysis. Once eliminated, those cells cannot regenerate or store fat again.
- No Surgery, No Scars: Fat dissolving injections in Korea require only a 30-gauge needle — no incisions, stitches, or surgical scars. Return to normal activities within 24-48 hours.
- Precision Targeting: Individual injection points allow centimeter-accurate fat reduction in areas liposuction struggles with, including the jowls, double chin, and bra fat.
- Gradual Natural-Looking Results: Fat reduction occurs over 4-8 weeks as the lymphatic system processes destroyed cells, creating a natural slimming effect without sudden changes.
- Combination Protocol Available: RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Double Chin All-Kill Package pairs fat dissolving injection with Inmode Fit RF for simultaneous fat destruction and skin tightening.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1-3 | Moderate swelling, tenderness, and warmth in the treated area. This is the active fat dissolution phase. Bruising may appear at injection sites. |
| Week 1-2 | Swelling gradually subsides. Firmness or nodularity under the skin is normal as the body processes destroyed fat cells. |
| Week 3-4 | Visible reduction begins. The treated area feels softer as inflammatory response resolves and fat debris is cleared by macrophages. |
| Week 6-8 | Full results from the first session become apparent. 20-30% fat volume reduction per session for most patients. |
| Month 3 | After 2 sessions, most double chin patients see 40-60% fat volume reduction. Body areas may need 3 sessions. |
| Month 6+ | Results are permanent as long as body weight remains stable. No maintenance injections needed once target reduction is achieved. |

The Science Behind Fat Dissolving Injections in Korea
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting injection lipolysis protocols used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Deoxycholic Acid Mechanism of Action
Deoxycholic acid (DCA) is a secondary bile acid naturally present in the human body that aids in the emulsification and solubilization of dietary fat. When injected directly into subcutaneous adipose tissue, synthetic DCA disrupts adipocyte cell membranes through a detergent-like mechanism, causing cell lysis and release of intracellular lipids. The released triglycerides are subsequently processed by tissue macrophages and transported via the lymphatic system for hepatic metabolism. This cytolytic process is irreversible — once a fat cell is destroyed by fat dissolving injection, it cannot regenerate, resulting in permanent volume reduction in the treated area.
Ascher B et al. Safety and efficacy of UGN-101 (injectable deoxycholic acid) for submental fat reduction: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Dermatol Surg. 2014;40(12):1309-1318. doi:10.1097/DSS.0000000000000183
Clinical Efficacy of Injection Lipolysis for Submental Fat
Multiple phase III clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of deoxycholic acid fat dissolving injections for submental fat reduction. In the REFINE-1 and REFINE-2 trials involving over 1,000 patients, 68.2% of DCA-treated patients achieved a composite response of clinician-rated and patient-rated improvement at 12 weeks post final treatment, compared to 22.2% in the placebo group. Fat dissolving injections in Korea follow the same evidence-based protocols, with RE:BERRY Myeongdong administering KFDA-approved deoxycholic acid formulations at standardized concentrations and dosing intervals.

Combination Protocols: Injection Lipolysis with Radiofrequency
Recent studies have investigated combining fat dissolving injections with radiofrequency energy devices for enhanced outcomes in submental and body fat reduction. The rationale is twofold: DCA destroys fat volume while RF energy stimulates collagen contraction and neocollagenesis to tighten the overlying skin that may become lax after fat reduction. Clinical evidence shows that combination protocols achieve approximately 15-20% greater patient satisfaction compared to injection lipolysis alone, primarily due to improved skin contour and reduced post-lipolysis skin laxity. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Double Chin All-Kill Package leverages this combination approach with Goop injection and Inmode Fit RF for fat dissolving injections in Korea.
Kilmer SL et al. Safety and efficacy of cryolipolysis for non-invasive reduction of submental fat. Lasers Surg Med. 2017;49(1):64-71. doi:10.1002/lsm.22583
Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) based formulations, such as those used in Berry Slim, work through a complementary mechanism. PPC acts as a surfactant that emulsifies adipocyte membrane phospholipids, while co-formulated sodium deoxycholate enhances membrane disruption. Histological studies confirm that PPC-based fat dissolving injections produce localized adipocyte necrosis followed by macrophage infiltration and fibrosis, resulting in permanent fat layer reduction without systemic lipid elevation.
