Fat Dissolving Injection in Cheongdam, Gangnam — ARTNER Injection, patented, no PPC or steroids.

A six-session course starts from ₩1,200,000 for one area and is priced by the number of areas — ₩1,600,000 for two, ₩3,000,000 for four, each additional area adding ₩700,000. Prices are in KRW, exclude VAT, and are identical to the Korean price list at ARTNER Cheongdam; there is no foreigner surcharge.

A proprietary lipolytic formula developed and patent-registered by ARTNER in Korea. It is formulated without PPC (phosphatidylcholine), without steroids and without hyaluronidase — three ingredients common in generic fat-dissolving shots that can cause hardening, skin thinning or uncontrolled spread. The composition is shown at consultation.

Six sessions per course, usually one to two weeks apart. International patients typically do one or two sessions in Cheongdam and complete the rest on a second trip or spaced around their schedule — results accumulate even with longer gaps, so the plan is flexible.

Rarely — a week allows two sessions at most. ARTNER Cheongdam plans injection courses as 1–2 sessions per visit with remote follow-up, or pairs a session with a liposuction area for patients staying a week or more.

It is a series of fine micro-injections — most patients describe a brief sting. There is no downtime: you can return to work, sightseeing or a flight the same day. Expect mild swelling, warmth or tenderness at the injection points for a few days.

Gradually. Most people notice a softer line and looser clothes from around session 2–3 (2–4 weeks), with the result building across the six sessions and judged 4–6 weeks after the last one. That steady onset is what keeps it looking natural.

It depends on the fat. A soft, pinchable pocket suits the injection course; a defined bulge with real volume suits one awake session of ART-FAT, which removes the cells permanently. Send two photos and Dr. Pyeon's team in Gangnam tells you which within 24 hours — and if it is visceral fat, that neither is the answer.

No. A firm, forward belly is visceral fat around the organs, which no injection or liposuction reaches. ARTNER Cheongdam screens this with InBody first and refers to internal-medicine weight management — Wegovy or Mounjaro where criteria are met — before any contouring.

Abdomen, flanks and love handles, arms, back and bra line, inner and outer thighs, knees, calves, mons pubis, and the face (double chin, jawline, cheeks with the Face ARTNER version). Each area is mapped and dosed individually at the Cheongdam clinic.

Fat cells dissolved during the course are cleared and do not return. Remaining cells can enlarge if you gain significant weight, so the result holds while weight is stable — the same rule as liposuction.

Temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness at injection points, occasionally brief firmness or small nodules that settle on their own. Rare: pigmentation or infection. Because the formula contains no steroids, early swelling is managed rather than masked; ARTNER Cheongdam reviews photos on WhatsApp after each session.

Yes — the most common combination for international patients. ART-FAT removes the main volume in one awake session, and ARTNER Injection refines adjacent smaller pockets; sessions are timed so recovery windows do not overlap.

Do not press or massage the area on the first night, avoid alcohol for 2–3 days and saunas for a week, drink water and walk. Flying the next day is fine. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindications — please wait.

Because the first decision is whether the fat is subcutaneous, visceral or simply weight — and whether thyroid, metabolic or cardiovascular conditions change the plan. Dr. Pyeon screens every patient at ARTNER Cheongdam before mapping a single area.
