Frequently Asked Questions

How many fat-dissolving injection sessions do I need?

While some results can be seen after a single session, we recommend undergoing 3–5 sessions minimum, up to around 10 sessions while monitoring progress.

Can abdominal fat be eliminated with injections?

Fat-dissolving injections primarily help refine contours rather than eliminate fat entirely. For the abdomen, fat-dissolving injections alone can be effective, but combining them with Onda—which improves cellulite and boosts elasticity—allows for more efficient fat reduction while enhancing skin firmness.

Can I have facial fat-dissolving injections and square jaw Botox done at the same time?

Since the two treatments act on different areas and principles, they can be done at the same time and are sometimes planned together. Facial fat-dissolving injection acts on the subcutaneous fat layer to clear unnecessary swelling and fat, while jaw Botox acts on the enlarged masseter muscle to reduce its size, helping with jaw contouring.

If I receive Wegovy, will you also provide dietary guidance?

When prescribing Wegovy, we review your overall lifestyle patterns including diet, exercise, and sleep, and provide comprehensive obesity management like a personal physician. Changing lifestyle habits together is essential for sustainable, healthy weight management without rebound.

What is Edicut?

Edicut is a fat-dissolving injection that addresses localized fat on the face and body. It is a procedure that refines localized contours with injections, without surgery, and is performed in multiple sessions depending on the area and your condition.

Can it be used on the face, the body, or both?

On the face, it is used for areas of localized fat such as under the chin; on the body, for areas of localized volume. The number of sessions and dosage differ by area, so the treatment is designed at the consultation.

How is it different from liposuction?

Fat-dissolving injections refine specific contours with injections, without surgery, and differ in approach and recovery from surgery that physically removes fat. Which is right for you depends on the area and the degree of change you want, and is determined during consultation.

I'm concerned about fat under my chin. Can injections help?

The area under the chin is a common site for facial fat-dissolving injections. However, the approach differs depending on whether the under-chin contour is due to fat, loss of elasticity, or muscle development, so we first identify the cause before deciding on the treatment.

How far apart should treatments be?

The interval differs depending on the area and the program. The next session is decided based on your response to the previous one and how the swelling progressed, so we will advise you when we check your progress.

Can anyone get Wegovy?

Wegovy is prescribed according to prescription criteria after a medical consultation. Whether it can be prescribed is determined after checking your weight, health condition, and current medications, so you must first be seen by a doctor.

Will I avoid rebound weight gain with Wegovy?

Medication alone is not enough. Rebound weight gain can be reduced when your metabolism is working properly and your activity level is maintained, so we treat on the premise that you will also change lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, and sleep.

I feel like I'm gaining weight even though I don't eat much.

If you gain weight even though you usually eat little and are active enough, hormones may be a factor. You can have tests to identify the cause, and in some cases metabolism has been disrupted by binge eating or late-night eating.

Is there swelling or bruising after the procedure?

Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and pain may occur at the injection site and usually subside within a few days. After the treatment, it is best not to press or massage the area excessively.

Do I need to combine the procedure with exercise or diet?

Injection treatments alone do not manage body weight itself. Treatments that refine specific contours and lifestyle management play different roles, so we decide together during consultation which combination you need for your goals.

Can cellulite and loss of firmness be addressed as well?

Fat-dissolving injections focus on refining contours, so elasticity issues need to be addressed separately. Depending on the area, a treatment that also addresses elasticity is sometimes combined, and we will advise whether it is needed after checking your condition.

Which is right for me: square jaw Botox or fat-dissolving injections?

If your face looks wide because of well-developed chewing muscles, square jaw Botox is suitable; if it is due to subcutaneous fat, fat-dissolving injections are suitable. Both are often present together, so we design a combination after diagnosis.

How long does an injection treatment take?

The injection itself takes about 10–20 minutes, and you can return to daily life right after. Separate time is needed for consultation and examination, so it is best to allow extra time when booking.
