[Seongsu Sio Clinic] The Ingredients of Fat Dissolving Injections Matter

Seongsu Ttukseom Fat Dissolving Injection

The ingredients of fat dissolving injections matter.

People considering

fat dissolving or fat destroying injections

often ask similar questions.

"How many cc are injected?"

"How quickly will it work?"

"How many sessions are needed for results?"

Of course, the dosage is also important.

However, when choosing

a fat destroying injection, there is something

more important to consider.

It is about what ingredients are included,

and what ingredients

are excluded.

Fat destroying injections are not simply

a procedure that temporarily makes the face

look slimmer.

They should aim to create

a natural and clean contour

by precisely managing unnecessary fat layers.

Therefore, we believe

the ingredient formulation

should also be clean.

Key Ingredients for Fat Destruction: DCA and CA

Currently, the representative ingredients

that directly target fat cells are DCA (Deoxycholic Acid) and

CA.

In Korea, approved products such as V-Line and Newbeju

are used based on these ingredients.

These ingredients are designed to directly

target fat cells,

and are known as key ingredients

used for managing fat layers.

However, a good fat destroying injection

is not completed simply by including key ingredients.

Excluding unnecessary ingredients is also

very important.

1. No Steroids Included

Steroids are ingredients

used to reduce inflammation and

alleviate swelling.

However, when included in fat destroying injections,

there are reports that they can cause problems

such as localized skin atrophy,

fat atrophy, and pigment changes

by acting on the skin and subcutaneous fat layer.

In some cases, they can cause the skin to appear thin or lead to indentations.

In addition, systemic reactions such as changes in menstrual cycle or abnormal bleeding have been reported in some individuals.

Therefore, the use of steroids solely to quickly reduce swelling requires careful consideration.

2. No Hyaluronidase Included

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid,

and is generally used in procedures to dissolve fillers.

However, hyaluronic acid is naturally present

in our skin and subcutaneous tissues.

Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in maintaining skin moisture, elasticity, and tissue support.

Therefore, even if the purpose is to manage fat layers,

it is necessary to carefully consider whether to use ingredients that can affect the hyaluronic acid in normal tissues.

Additionally, allergic reactions may occur in some individuals.

3. No PPC Included

PPC was a commonly used ingredient

in past fat-related procedures.

It was often used in conjunction with DCA,

and has been utilized as an auxiliary agent

rather than a key ingredient directly targeting fat cells.

However, side effects such as pain, swelling, inflammation, nodules, and skin irregularities have been reported during its use.

In severe cases, tissue damage or fibrotic reactions have also been observed.

For these reasons, there is a recent trend towards preferring simpler ingredient formulations.

4. No Diuretics Included

Diuretics are ingredients that promote the excretion of body fluids.

While they may temporarily reduce swelling immediately after the procedure,

the fundamental purpose of fat destroying injections is not to remove water but to manage fat layers.

The use of diuretics can lead to problems such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, dizziness, and hypotension.

In excessive cases, it can even affect heart rhythm.

Therefore, we believe there is no need to include ingredients that act for purposes other than fat reduction.

The essence of fat destroying injections

is 'clean formulation'.

A good fat destroying injection is not simply

a procedure that causes strong stimulation.

What matters is not how many ingredients are included,

but whether unnecessary ingredients have been removed,

leaving only the essential ones.

Formulating around DCA and CA, which directly target fat,

and excluding unnecessary ingredients like steroids, hyaluronidase, PPC, and diuretics.

We believe this is the direction for fat destroying injections that aim for a cleaner contour and natural lines.

The cleaner the ingredient formulation,

the better for procedures that create facial contours.

If it's a procedure for clean lines,

the ingredients should also be clean.
