Aftercare (clinic instructions)
- Drink plenty of water—at least 2 liters daily—for a few days after treatment to help the broken-down fat pass out of the body through urine.
- Gently massage the treated area after treatment to help distribute the injected solution more evenly and enhance its fat-dissolving effect.
- Strictly avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas, Korean heated rooms (jjimjilbang), and activities that raise body temperature for 1 week to help prevent inflammation.
- Combining treatment with light walking or aerobic exercise helps promote fat burning and elimination to maximize treatment results.
How many sessions and how often?
Considering the time needed for the body to eliminate fat, noticeable changes can generally be seen with at least 5 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart.
Planning it into a Seoul trip
This treatment is tagged "last day" at Mio because there is visible redness, marks or swelling for a few days; schedule it on your final day so it fades at home. Numbing cream, when used, adds about 30 minutes; plan 15–20 minutes plus consultation. See the first-day / last-day guide.
