[Non-surgical Jowl Fat Removal] Deep Cheek (Jowl) Fat Reduction Micro-needling

​Characteristics of buccal fat (jowls)

A Delicate Solution to Buccal Fat Problems Proposed by GGEUT Korean Medicine Clinic

Buccal fat or jowls are not merely caused by fat accumulation.

Decreased elasticity of the dermal layer, sagging of cheek fat, and deep buccal fat pockets all contribute.

These three factors appear in combination, leading to changes in facial structure.

Therefore, it may be difficult to expect the desired level of improvement with a single procedure.

By considering the characteristics of each skin layer and meticulously planning and designing the treatment, more natural improvement can be expected.

1. Sagging Management through Dermal Layer Strengthening: Collagen Lifting

(Tenshuma · Oligio · ONDA Tightening)

One of the main reasons why the buccal fat area becomes particularly noticeable is

because the elasticity of the dermal layer that supports the skin has decreased.

When the supporting function of the dermal layer weakens, the fatty tissue in the cheeks can sag downwards more easily.

At our clinic, we apply procedures such as Tenshuma, Oligio, and ONDA Tightening,

inducing collagen production deep within the dermal layer,

focusing on preventing the worsening of buccal fat sagging and strengthening structural support.

As collagen increases, the skin's thickness and elasticity can be restored.

This can help slow down the progression of such sagging.

It can also be helpful from a preventive perspective, slowing down further severe sagging of buccal fat.

2. Fat Lifting to Reorganize Widely Distributed Sagging Fat

(ONDA · InMode FX)

A significant aspect of buccal fat problems is the fat layer that is widely distributed and sagged below the mid-layer of the cheeks.

ONDA and InMode FX use relatively wide handpieces to deliver energy to a broad area,

which can help reduce the volume of the entire sagging fat layer.

This can contribute to reducing extensive fatty tissue in the cheek area.

You can expect the effect of refining the loose cheek line.

It can help alleviate overall sagging by reducing the heaviness in the buccal fat area.

In conclusion, these procedures can be seen as an initial step in organizing widely distributed fat layers.

3. Fat Thread Acupuncture (Jibangsachim) to Delicately Remove Specific ‘Pocket Fat’ within the Buccal Fat

(Delicate Fat Design)

However, there remains a deep area where

deep fat pockets, which account for the main volume of jowls, are located.

With handpiece-based devices like ONDA or FX,

it's possible to reduce large areas of fat layers, but it is difficult to selectively remove only specific fat pockets.

Therefore, our clinic utilizes insulated micro-needle fat thread acupuncture to

concentratedly deliver high-frequency energy only to specific defined pockets within the buccal fat.

selectively reduce only unnecessary fat,

thus contributing to delicately refining the structure of protruding areas like jowls.

It precisely controls the volume in deep areas.

It aims to minimize unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues.

Our goal is to achieve results that harmonize with natural facial lines.

Refining the contour of the jawline and mouth area

It is one of the important steps in managing deep cheek fat.

4. Already deepened marionette lines can be improved with 'COVA Collagen Volume Acupuncture'.

When the deep cheek fat area sags downwards,

Marionette lines may appear alongside the mouth.

If the wrinkles are deeply etched,

smooth improvement may be difficult to achieve with simple fat reduction alone.

Therefore, management that promotes regeneration of the wrinkles themselves is necessary.

At our clinic, through the Marionette COVA Collagen Volume Acupuncture treatment,

we use a method that intensively stimulates collagen production in the dermis.

This is a treatment that helps the sunken wrinkle area to naturally fill with volume by producing its own collagen.

Natural volume formation can be expected without fillers.

It can contribute to improving the appearance of shadows around the mouth or an aged look.

When received in conjunction with deep cheek fat management, even better synergistic effects can be expected.

In summary,

Deep cheek fat (jowls) requires fat reduction.

Marionette lines require dermal regeneration.

When simultaneous management of these two layers is performed, more effective improvement is possible.

Why is such a multi-faceted approach necessary?

Deep cheek fat issues

decreased elasticity, a wide fat layer, deep pockets, and marionette lines

are often caused by these four factors acting together.

Therefore, a step-by-step approach tailored to each factor is required.

Collagen Lifting helps manage sagging,

Fat Lifting helps reduce the widespread fat layer,

Fat Dissolving Acupuncture focuses on managing deep pockets.

Marionette COVA helps improve deep-set wrinkles.

For these steps to work harmoniously,

the contour of the deep cheek fat can be naturally and neatly improved,

and an overall positive change in the entire mouth area can be expected.

Our Clinic's Differentiated Approach

At our clinic, deep cheek fat issues

are not simply viewed as 'cheek fat' problems.

such as dermis, wide fat layer, deep pockets, and wrinkle structure

We approach them as complex problems arising from various anatomical layers.

With Fat Reduction Lifting, we manage the wide fat layer,

with Fat Dissolving Acupuncture, we focus on improving core pocket areas,

and with Collagen Lifting, we help manage the root cause of skin sagging.

If necessary, Marionette COVA treatment helps with the natural improvement of wrinkles.

Through such 'customized design segmented by layer and area',

Considering even the slightest 1mm difference,

A meticulous approach

can help alleviate concerns about buccal fat (jowls), and individual results may vary.
