Fat dissolving injection in Cheongdam —
how many sessions do you actually need in Gangnam?
Six per area is the course at ARTNER Cheongdam, Gangnam, spaced a few weeks apart. One session gives a modest change and is not the treatment — the visible result is cumulative, which is why the price is quoted for the course rather than per shot. Small soft pads sometimes respond in four; a large area may need a second course, and real volume should have been liposuction from the start.
"How many do I need?" is the first question every patient asks, and the honest answer is that it depends less on the clinic than on the area and how much fat is in it. Here is how ARTNER Cheongdam sets a course and when the number changes.
You want to know what you are actually committing to.
- A clinic quoted you per shot with no session count.
- You want to know if one session will do anything visible.
- You have limited trips to Korea and need to plan the spacing.
- You are unsure whether your area is too big for injections.
- You want to know what happens if you miss the ideal gap.
Six per area, a few weeks apart, split however your travel allows. Detail below.
Sessions by area at ARTNER Cheongdam
Six is the standard course. Where an area needs fewer, that is agreed at consultation rather than after payment.
| Area in Cheongdam | Typical course | When it is fewer / more |
|---|---|---|
| Double chin, cheeks | 6 sessions | Small soft pads sometimes respond in 4 |
| Inner knee, bra roll | 6 sessions | Small defined pockets — usually the full course |
| Upper arm, inner thigh | 6 sessions per area | Larger surface may need a second course |
| Lower abdomen pocket | 6 sessions | Real volume → liposuction instead |
| Two areas together | 6 each | Priced from ₩1,600,000 for both |
| Spacing | A few weeks apart | Longer gaps slow, do not reset, the course |
What the course costs: fat dissolving injection cost in Korea.
Why one session is not the treatment
Each session breaks down a portion of the fat cells in the treated area, and your body clears them over the following weeks. One session clears a fraction; the course clears enough to see.
Clinics that sell single shots are selling a sensation — swelling, heat, the feeling that something happened — rather than a result. ARTNER Cheongdam prices the course so the total is known before the first needle.
When fewer than six is enough
Small, soft, well-defined pads sometimes look finished at four — a modest under-chin pocket, a small bra roll, an inner knee. If that happens, the remaining sessions are not forced through; the plan is reassessed on photographs.
That is a judgement made looking at your area at session four, not a promise made at session one.
When six is not enough — and what that means
A large surface area — a full upper arm, a broad inner thigh — may need a second course to finish. That is discussed upfront so the total cost is not a surprise.
But if the area holds real volume rather than a soft pocket, more sessions is the wrong answer. Awake liposuction in Cheongdam removes in one session what a second injection course would chase, and ARTNER Cheongdam says so at consultation.
Which tool your case needs: fat dissolving injection vs liposuction.
Spacing — and what a long gap does
A few weeks between sessions is ideal, giving the body time to clear what was broken down. For international patients, two or three sessions per visit to Cheongdam is the usual pattern.
A three-month gap slows the timeline but does not reset it: cells cleared in session two are still cleared in month four. What stalls visible progress is weight gain between sessions, which is a body-weight issue rather than a treatment one.
Splitting across trips: completing a course from abroad.
Can you treat two areas at once in Gangnam?
Yes — two areas run as parallel courses of six sessions each, priced from ₩1,600,000 together rather than double. Common pairings are chin plus cheeks, or inner knees plus inner thighs.
More than two at once is usually staged, because the total volume of formulation per visit is limited and comfort matters.

In short — Six sessions per area is the ARTNER Injection course in Cheongdam, Gangnam, spaced a few weeks apart and priced as a course from ₩1,200,000.

Selling single shots is selling swelling. The course is what clears enough fat to see, so I quote six and tell people at session four if their area is already done.
