[Non-surgical Fat Removal] Fat Removal Injection above Nasolabial Folds

Concerns about Nasolabial Folds and Surrounding Volume

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Multi-faceted Approach to Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds do not arise from a single cause.

They can be seen as the complex result of reduced dermal elasticity, sagging cheek fat, localized fat accumulation above the nasolabial folds, and existing deep depressions.

As such, they exhibit complex characteristics, resulting from the interplay of various factors.

Therefore, it may be difficult to expect satisfactory improvement with a single treatment.

When treatments tailored to the issues of each skin layer are precisely combined, more natural results can be expected.

1. Inducing Collagen Regeneration to Prevent Sagging and Support the Dermal Layer

(Tensserme · Oligio · ONDA Tightening)

One of the primary causes of nasolabial folds is

found in the decreased elasticity of the dermal layer that supports the skin.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we utilize Tensserme, Oligio, and ONDA tightening devices

to promote collagen production in the deep dermis, and,

thereby helping to slow the deepening of nasolabial lines and manage further sagging.

Improved skin elasticity through collagen synthesis is expected.

It can also help improve skin volume and thickness.

The goal is to restore structural support in the nasolabial area.

In conclusion, this step constitutes a foundational treatment to mitigate the deepening of nasolabial folds and prepare for future recurrence.

2. Fat Improvement Treatment to Manage Sagging Fat Across a Broad Area

(ONDA · InMode FX)

The prominent volume above the nasolabial folds is primarily

caused by widely distributed fat layers as the fat in the anterior cheeks shifts downwards over time.

ONDA and InMode FX devices

By utilizing the characteristics of each device's handpiece, they can be used to gradually reduce broad fat layers.

It can be expected to reduce the overall volume of fat accumulated in the lower cheek area.

The sagging cheekline may appear more refined.

It can help alleviate the pressure from fat pressing down on the upper part of the nasolabial folds.

This process focuses on comprehensively managing the fat that has descended from the anterior cheeks.

3. Fat Acupuncture for Precise Management of Fat in Specific Areas Directly Above the Nasolabial Folds

(Delicate Fat Contouring)

Broad-area fat improvement treatments alone

may leave localized protruding fat pockets directly above the nasolabial folds.

These specific areas can be difficult to access with conventional handpiece methods.

Therefore, relying solely on broad lifting treatments may have limitations in improvement.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we utilize insulated microneedle fat acupuncture treatment

to precisely deliver concentrated high-frequency energy to specific fat pockets directly above the nasolabial folds, and,

thereby allowing us to selectively control the fat causing the wrinkles and improve volume.

We aim for improvement by sculpting and refining unnecessary volume.

It can also have a positive effect on alleviating left-right asymmetry.

Alleviation of the shadow effect along the nasolabial lines can be expected.

Improves the prominence caused by fat above the nasolabial folds.

This is one of the important steps in managing nasolabial lines.

4. For nasolabial areas that already appear sunken, you can expect natural volume restoration with 'Collagen Volume Acupuncture (COVA)'.

Nasolabial folds can deepen as skin elasticity decreases and fat descends,

cases where the inner nasolabial area actually appears sunken are also commonly observed.

Such areas may be difficult to improve sufficiently with simple lifting or fat reduction alone.

A process of internal volume replenishment is needed.

Our clinic's COVA Collagen Volume Acupuncture

consistently induces collagen production in the skin's dermal layer

to help improve nasolabial areas that are already hollow or deepened.

to allow natural collagen volume to form gradually is what it helps to do.

This treatment minimizes an artificial look

and allows you to expect structural improvement where your own skin tissue becomes firmer and more voluminous.

In other words, hollowness, puffiness, and sagging in the nasolabial area where these appear together

is an important step that can help restore a more natural appearance.

Why are all four of these approaches necessary?

Nasolabial folds are primarily

skin elasticity reduction (dermal layer), widely spread fat, pocket fat in specific areas, and volume loss

often caused by a complex interplay of these four factors.

The role of each treatment stage is as follows:

Collagen Lifting → Contributes to improving sagging in the nasolabial area

Fat Lifting → Helps regulate overall fat volume above the nasolabial folds

Fat Dissolving Acupuncture (Jibangsa-chim) → Refines small pockets of fat directly above the nasolabial folds

Collagen Volume Acupuncture (COVA) → Induces natural volume restoration in already sunken nasolabial areas

When these four processes are applied together,

the nasolabial lines are expected to be more naturally and neatly refined.

Our Clinic's Philosophy for Nasolabial Fold Management

At our clinic, we view nasolabial folds

not merely as a 'wrinkle' phenomenon.

the skin's dermal layer, extensive fat layers, specific pocket fat, and sunken areas

By finely distinguishing these different anatomical layers,

we aim to formulate precise treatment plans that consider the characteristics of each layer and area.

We refine broad layers with fat-remodeling lifting,

address minute pocket fat with Fat Dissolving Acupuncture (Jibangsa-chim),

contribute to improving skin sagging with collagen lifting,

and induce volume restoration in sunken areas with Collagen Volume Acupuncture (COVA).

Through this 'customized meticulous design',

we help achieve natural improvement of the nasolabial lines without overdoing it.

This is one of the treatment approaches our clinic pursues.
