Lipolytic Herbal Acupuncture and Lipolytic Injections: Features and Differences

Both lipolytic injections and lipolytic herbal acupuncture can help manage fat in areas that are difficult to improve with diet alone.

They are worthwhile methods to consider as they allow for concentrated management of desired areas.

Conventional lipolytic injections utilize chemical compounds such as phosphatidylcholine (PPC) or deoxycholate.

These compounds are injected directly into the subcutaneous fat layer, where they work by dissolving fat cell membranes.

This principle involves destroying fat cells, a method aimed at reducing fat volume in the targeted area.

However, when considering lipolytic injection procedures, the following points should be taken into account:

First, inflammatory or immune system reactions may occur during the cell destruction process. This can lead to swelling, fever, and pain.

Second, bruising, hardening, or indentations in the skin may appear at the injection site. Uneven fat reduction can also lead to an lumpy or asymmetrical appearance.

Third, byproducts generated during fat breakdown are processed by the liver, which can increase the burden on the liver. This may also lead to increased fatigue.

It is important to be aware of these potential side effects and to carefully decide whether to proceed with the treatment.

On the other hand, Korean herbal lipolytic acupuncture combines herbal medicines such as Ephedra (ma-hwang), which has ephedrine-like effects, and Aconite (cheon-o), which provides a warming sensation.

Additionally, traditional Korean medicinal herbs like Licorice (gamcho) and Dried Ginger (geon-gang) are appropriately combined to aid in improving circulation.

The aim is to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, thereby enhancing the body's metabolic rate and gently raising body temperature to create a more favorable environment for fat burning.

The goal is to create a physical environment more conducive to fat burning.

Furthermore, it helps to facilitate lymphatic circulation, aiding in the excretion of waste products that may be generated during the fat breakdown process.

Through these actions, the following benefits can be expected:

First, by enhancing basal metabolic rate, daily calorie expenditure can increase.

Second, it can contribute to body fat reduction by inducing fatty acid breakdown (HSL activation) within fat cells.

Third, improved lymphatic circulation can positively impact the management of body swelling and cellulite.

Fourth, by activating the sympathetic nervous system, it can indirectly help with appetite control in some cases.

These effects are expected.

In summary, Korean herbal lipolytic acupuncture

can be seen as an indirect approach that adjusts the internal body environment to be more favorable for fat metabolism.

The effects may appear gradually, and the likelihood of side effects is relatively low. It can be particularly useful for improving circulation and constitutional body types.

First, individuals with a cold constitution or edema-prone body types who frequently experience swelling or find weight management challenging.

Second, individuals who tend to overeat due to stress or feel heavy due to decreased metabolic function.

Third, it is a method to consider for those aiming to enhance long-term bodily metabolism and improve their constitutional body type.

Distinguishing Feature 1: Natural Ingredient-Based Treatment Aimed at Minimizing Potential Side Effects

• Our Korean herbal lipolytic acupuncture does not contain steroid components and is composed solely of pure herbal medicine ingredients.
• Therefore, it reduces the risks associated with steroids, such as skin atrophy or hormonal imbalance, allowing you to consider the treatment more comfortably.
• Based on herbal medicine ingredients, it can aid in fat breakdown and offers an approach to body contouring that reduces physical burden.

Distinguishing Feature 2: Use of 1cc Syringes for Precise Treatment

• We exclusively use 1cc syringes to enhance the precision of the treatment and ensure transparency.
• For instance, when administering 10cc, we meticulously use ten 1cc syringes to ensure the accurate dosage is injected.
• This allows us to clearly verify the exact quantity and guide you through the treatment process with transparency.

Distinguishing Feature 3: Dangguisusan Prescription for Post-Treatment Bruising and Swelling Management (No Additional Cost)

• To help alleviate bruising and swelling that may occur after injection, we also prescribe 'Dangguisusan,' a traditional Korean herbal medicine formula.
• We prioritize post-treatment care to support our patients' rapid recovery, and this is provided at no additional cost, helping to ease the financial burden.

Distinguishing Feature 4: Efficient Waiting Time Management System

• To minimize waiting times for our visitors, our medical institution operates a systematic appointment system.
• If, due to unexpected circumstances, your waiting time exceeds 10 minutes, we will apply a 5% discount on the procedure cost for every 10 minutes of waiting.

Precision Injection by Area and Layer Using the Pinch Test

Generally, the fat layer is located at a depth of about 5mm to 15mm from the skin.

If the injection depth is too shallow, the medication may be distributed in the dermis layer, making it difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Conversely, if injected too deeply, there is a possibility of discomfort or pain due to fascial stimulation.

Therefore, to enhance the procedure's effectiveness and reduce discomfort, we perform the procedure by precisely identifying the fat layer's location using the pinch test.

Uniform and Detailed Fractional Injection Method

For the desired results, the medication must spread evenly within the fat layer.

This helps prevent phenomena such as excessive localized inflammation or skin depressions.

As a result, the overall body line can be improved to be more natural and smoother.

Rather than injecting a large quantity concentrated in one area, we divide the injection into multiple points with appropriate dosage adjustments to achieve even and natural results.
