Facial Contouring Injection
A facial contouring injection that refines localized facial volume in areas such as the cheeks and under the chin
ABOUT
What is a facial contouring injection?
- 01
Contouring injections dissolve excess localized subcutaneous fat in areas such as the jowls, cheeks and under the chin, as well as the upper arms, flanks and thighs, and promote microcirculation and lymphatic flow to refine smoother contours.
- 02
As this treatment uses a combination of medications rather than a single drug, its fat-breakdown mechanism, potential side effects and clinical effects vary according to the ingredients and their proportions.
- 03
Precise injection planning that considers body mass index, fat-layer thickness and skin laxity together is essential.
HOW IT WORKS
How does it work?
Fat volume is gradually reduced by decreasing fat-cell size and encouraging the elimination of metabolic products.
The injected active ingredients act on the target subcutaneous fat layer, stimulating fat-cell metabolism and reducing swelling within the tissue.
The resulting fat metabolites are naturally eliminated from the body through microvessels and lymphatic vessels, improving indistinct contours.
WHERE IT WORKS
Localized subcutaneous fat breakdown and contour refinement
RECOMMENDED FOR
Who is this treatment for?
- 01
People at a normal weight whose contours look less defined because fat is concentrated in localized facial areas (cheeks and under the chin) or body areas (upper arms, lower abdomen, thighs and flanks)
- 02
People who wish to reduce localized volume with noninvasive injection therapy without the burden of surgical liposuction or incisions
- 03
People whose body or facial contours are less distinct because of soft-tissue volume in specific areas that is difficult to reduce through diet or exercise alone
- 04
People who wish to enhance treatment synergy by first reducing excess subcutaneous fat volume before energy-based lifting or body-contouring treatments such as radiofrequency or HIFU
TREATMENT AREAS
Main treatment areas
- Facial Areas
- Body Areas
The actual treatment area is determined during consultation based on facial structure, skin condition and the products used.
The images above illustrate treatment areas only and do not represent individual treatment results.
BENEFITS
Changes you can expect
- 01Reduced subcutaneous fat in the main target areas of the face and body
- 02Nonsurgical refinement of localized fat without surgery or anesthesia, with less disruption when returning to daily activities
- 03More defined contours through reduced excess fat volume around the jawline and body contours
- 04Synergy that enhances overall treatment outcomes by reducing tissue density when combined with device-based lifting and tightening treatments
KEY POINTS
Key points of the treatment
- 01A safe ingredient-blending technique that lowers the risk of side effects associated with steroid misuse, such as skin depressions and menstrual irregularities
- 02Treatment after an anatomically accurate diagnosis of whether increased volume is caused by fat accumulation, muscle development or skin laxity
- 03Customized injection layers and doses optimized for skin thickness and subcutaneous fat depth in each facial and body area
RESULT JOURNEY
How things change over time
Swelling from the injections may be noticeable at first. Later, depending on the ingredients actually used and your individual response,
localized facial volume and contours gradually become more refined. Multiple sessions may be planned if needed.
INEE APPROACH
How INEE approaches this treatment
- 01
We first assess facial expressions and proportions to select the areas that actually need enhancement.
- 02
We plan the amount and placement needed by considering the product's characteristics and the condition of the skin and tissue.
- 03
We aim for results that naturally bring out your original appearance and balance rather than excessive volume.
RECOVERY & CARE
What to check before and after treatment
Before treatment
We first determine whether the face appears larger because of fat, muscle or sagging skin. Tell us about previous allergies and injection treatments during your consultation so we can explain the ingredients and treatment plan.
Immediately after treatment & recovery
Swelling, bruising and warmth may occur at the injection sites, and recovery may feel different depending on the ingredients and doses used. Allow plenty of time before any important occasion.
Aftercare
Avoid excessive massage of the treated area and temporarily refrain from alcohol, saunas and strenuous exercise as instructed by your clinician.
