The ingredients of fat-dissolving injections matter.

​

The most common questions from those

considering fat-dissolving or

fat-destruction injections are similar.

​

"How many cc's are injected?"

"How fast does it work?"

"How many sessions are needed?"

​

Of course, dosage is important.

​

However, there is something else

you should look at more carefully

when choosing a fat-destruction injection.

It is about which ingredients are included,

and which ingredients are

not included.

Fat-destruction injections

are not just a procedure to make the face

look slimmer temporarily;

​

the goal should be to create a natural

and clean line by managing

unnecessary fat layers more precisely.

That is why I believe

the ingredient formulation

must 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-OLET and NewBijou

are used based on these ingredients.

​

​

These ingredients are designed with a mechanism

that directly targets fat cells,

​

and they are known as key ingredients

used for fat layer management.

​

However, a good fat-destruction injection

is not completed simply by adding key ingredients.

Excluding unnecessary ingredients is also

very important.

1. It does not contain steroids

Steroids are ingredients used to

reduce inflammation and

alleviate swelling.

​

However, when included in fat-destruction injections,

there are reports that they can cause issues

such as localized skin atrophy, fat atrophy,

or pigment changes as they act on the skin

and subcutaneous fat layers.

​

​

In some cases, they can cause the skin to look thin

or lead to depressions, and there are also known

cases of systemic reactions such as changes in

menstrual cycles or breakthrough bleeding.

​

Therefore, using steroids simply for the purpose

of reducing swelling quickly requires

a cautious approach.

2. It does not contain Hyaluronidase

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down

hyaluronic acid and is generally used in

procedures to dissolve fillers.

​

However, hyaluronic acid naturally exists

in our skin and subcutaneous tissues.

​

​

Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in

maintaining skin moisture, elasticity,

and tissue support.

​

Therefore, even if the goal is to refine the fat layer,

sufficient consideration is needed regarding whether

it is necessary to use an ingredient that can

affect the hyaluronic acid in normal tissues.

​

Also, the possibility of allergic reactions

occurring in some individuals is known.

​

3. It does not contain PPC

PPC is an ingredient that was frequently used

in fat-related procedures in the past.

​

It was mainly used with DCA and has been utilized

as an auxiliary role rather than a key ingredient

that directly targets fat cells.

​

​

However, side effects such as pain, swelling,

inflammatory reactions, nodules, and skin

irregularities have been reported during use,

and in severe cases, reports of tissue damage

or fibrotic reactions have been observed.

​

For these reasons, there has recently been a trend

favoring simpler ingredient formulations.

​

4. It does not contain diuretics

Diuretics are ingredients that promote

the excretion of body fluids.

​

While it may look like swelling has temporarily

decreased immediately after the procedure,

the essential goal of a fat-destruction injection

is not to remove water, but to refine the fat layer.

​

​

Using diuretics can lead to issues such as

dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, dizziness,

and hypotension, and in excessive cases,

there is a possibility of affecting heart rhythm.

​

Therefore, I believe there is no need to include

ingredients that act for purposes other than

fat reduction.

The essence of fat-destruction injections

is a 'clean design'.

​

A good fat-destruction injection is not simply

a procedure that provides strong stimulation.

Rather than how many ingredients were added,

it is important to keep only the necessary

ingredients and remove the unnecessary ones.

​

Formulating based on DCA and CA that directly

target fat, and excluding unnecessary ingredients

like steroids, hyaluronidase, PPC, and diuretics.

​

I believe that is the direction for fat-destruction

injections that aim for cleaner contours and

natural lines.

​

The more a procedure is about creating

facial lines, the cleaner the ingredient

formulation must be.

If it is a procedure to create clean lines,

the ingredients must also be clean.
