Comparison of KKEUT Clinic's Fat-Dissolving Herbal Acupuncture and Fat-Dissolving Injections

Fat accumulation in specific areas that is difficult to resolve with diet alone can be managed through fat-dissolving injections or fat-dissolving herbal acupuncture treatments.

These procedures are often applied intensively to specific areas to help improve body concerns caused by fat.

Fat-dissolving injections primarily use chemical components such as phosphatidylcholine (PPC) or deoxycholate as their main ingredients.

These components are injected directly into the subcutaneous fat layer and work by dissolving the cell membranes of fat cells.

Consequently, it can be explained that they work by directly destroying the fat cells themselves, thereby reducing the volume of fat.

However, there are a few things to consider when contemplating fat-dissolving injections.

1. During the process of fat cell destruction, inflammatory or immune system reactions may occur, potentially accompanied by swelling, heat, and pain.

2. Bruising, skin hardening, or indentations may appear at the injection site, or uneven fat reduction could lead to asymmetry.

3. The metabolic process of broken-down fatty acids in the liver can temporarily burden the liver, potentially causing a feeling of fatigue.

It is advisable to be fully aware of the possibility of such side effects and to carefully decide whether to proceed with the treatment.

Meanwhile, fat-dissolving herbal acupuncture uses medicinal herbs such as Ephedra (components with ephedrine-like effects) and Cheon-o (warm stimulating effects).

Various other traditional Korean medicinal herbs beneficial for circulation improvement, such as licorice and dried ginger, are harmoniously blended to create it.

This herbal acupuncture formulation activates the sympathetic nervous system, promoting overall metabolism and potentially inducing a slight increase in body temperature.

This can positively influence the creation of a bodily environment where fat is more easily burned.

Furthermore, it can facilitate lymphatic circulation, aiding in the excretion of waste products that may arise after fat breakdown.

Through these comprehensive mechanisms of action, the following improvement effects can be expected:

1. Enhanced Basal Metabolism: It can contribute to partially activating the body's energy consumption even when physical activity is low.

2. Accelerated Fat Breakdown: It can help break down fat by promoting the action of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) within fat cells.

3. Improved Lymphatic Circulation: It can bring about positive changes in alleviating internal swelling and improving cellulite.

4. Appetite Control Support: Through sympathetic nervous system activation, it may indirectly play an auxiliary role in appetite suppression.

Thus, fat-dissolving herbal acupuncture encourages expectations of multifaceted bodily changes.

In short, fat-dissolving herbal acupuncture,

adopts an indirect approach aimed at improving the body's fat metabolism environment itself.

The treatment effects may appear gradually, and with a relatively low possibility of side effects, there is potential for its use in overall circulation improvement and constitutional changes.

1. Individuals with a 'cold constitution' or edematous body type who often experience swelling and find weight loss challenging.

2. Individuals who feel a decrease in physical vitality due to stress-induced overeating or reduced metabolic function.

3. Those who desire to boost their metabolism and achieve constitutional changes through consistent management may consider fat-dissolving herbal acupuncture.

Feature 1. Reduced treatment burden with natural ingredients

• Our clinic's fat-dissolving herbal acupuncture does not contain steroid components and is formulated based on naturally derived traditional Korean medicinal herb ingredients.
• Therefore, you can receive treatment with less concern about side effects such as skin atrophy or hormonal imbalance that can arise from steroids.
• Through the unique efficacy of traditional Korean medicinal herbs, we aim to assist fat breakdown and pursue body contouring management that emphasizes the overall healthy balance of the body.

Feature 2. Ensuring accurate dosage with a 1cc syringe

• At our clinic, we use only 1cc syringes for treatments to enhance precision and build trust with our patients.
• For instance, if a total volume of 10cc is required, we use ten 1cc syringes to meticulously adjust and apply each injection amount.
• This method helps to more clearly verify the precise treatment dosage and provides more predictable treatment results.

Feature 3. Waiting time management system that respects patients' time

• Our clinic operates a strict reservation system and waiting time management principles to respect the valuable time of our visiting patients.
• If an unexpected situation leads to a waiting time, we offer a 5% discount for every 10 minutes of wait as a token of our appreciation for your patience.

Feature 4. Customized adjustment of area and depth through pinch test

The fat layer beneath the skin is usually located at a depth of 5mm to 15mm from the skin's surface.

If the injectate is too shallow, it will remain only in the dermis layer, which may make it difficult to achieve the desired treatment effect.

Conversely, if injected too deeply, it can stimulate the fascia, potentially causing unnecessary pain.

Therefore, before treatment, we perform a pinch test to accurately determine the depth of the fat layer. This allows us to inject the medication at the appropriate depth to enhance treatment effectiveness while reducing discomfort.

Key Differentiator 5. Uniform and Meticulous Divided Injection Method

It is crucial that the injected medication is uniformly distributed throughout the entire fat layer.

This can help reduce localized inflammation or skin depressions that may occur if the medication is excessively concentrated in a specific area.

Through this, you can expect a more natural sculpting effect on your overall body line.

Rather than injecting a large amount into a specific area all at once, we strive to achieve uniform and even treatment results by meticulously controlling the dosage.

Those who might consider this treatment

• 1. Individuals concerned about stubborn fat in specific areas.
• 2. Those who desire a smoother body line.
• 3. Individuals looking to reduce localized pockets of fat.
• 4. Those seeking a simple method for fat breakdown treatment.

Advantages of the treatment

• 1. The treatment time is short, allowing you to receive it without burden even in a busy daily life.
• 2. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment, which is convenient.
• 3. It helps selectively improve specific areas of concern.
