Carboxytherapy for localized fat reduction

[onetrackmind]

Does anybody know a good clinic in Korea that does carboxy shots for fat reduction in the thighs? These shots are usually cheaper than liposuction I believe.

hi~ i am also interested in getting these shots but on my calves
the only clinic that has an english site that also have these shots is hushu. however i have heard some bad reviews about them. they market mostly to foreigners because their staff speaks really good english.

http://english.hus-hu.com/dermatology/c/procedures/body_contouring/lipodissolve

they told me that for 1 shot it is 80,000 kwn per bottle and you can only have a maximum of 10 shots in a day. they said they will be some bruising that will fade in a few days and the area will be sore but regular activity can be resumed in a few days.

i think most dermatology clinics should have these shots as they are quite popular there. i think not much clinics will have an english site because mostly people go there for plastic surgery and go to a dermatologist as an extra. also a lot of plastic surgery clinics have a skin/dermatologist sector like regen and chungdam u.

i have heard really great reviews about maylin clinic (http://medicaltour.gangnam.go.kr/jsp/en/pop_medical.jsp?seq=1094) but they do not have an english site that i can find. apparently it is a very popular clinic that even some celebrities go there, which is a good sign since lots of idols go get these shots weeks before they get back on stage. this clinic is on the pricier side and they have a set price list for everyone.

hopefully this is helpful!

Hi onetrackmind, I think you can try 365mc for carboxy ! (: They do lipo too.
I heard that theyre very good in body sculpting cause they're specialize in obesity treatment.
HAHA but their customer service team come off rude though ! Thats one thing to be concern about but other than that, all the reviews and all their services are pretty well or i would say very very well done for lipo/carboxy/meso.

Here's their website for your ref. (:

Thank you cookiechipmunk! I am in Korea now so if I have time after my surgeries, I will check out these clinics.

I just emailed 365mc, and they replied to me one hour later.

Here is what they say:

Thank you for interesting for our clinic and sorry late response. Our 365mc is the very first and the only obesity center in Korea and we do both surgeries and treatments.For body sculpting treatments we have HPL(Hyptonic Pharmcologic Lipo-Dissolusion) injection)/Carboxytherapy/Mesotherapy/Endermology radio-frequency, injections etc.We also adopt and work with a state-of-the art 3D body type analysis system in liposuction surgeries.You can check the front, rear, left and right views of your body through a 3D image, enabling a systematic diagnosis for fat deposited parts that require intensive care.

For surgery, the process is In-person consultation -> surgery -> stitch removal -> post treatment. As for the advance booking, we would need a month in advance for the consultation appointment and upon the consultation we can schedule the surgery date. The stitch removals will be done in two weeks upon surgery and after the removal the post surgery treatment begins. There will be 6 post treatments and each procedure will be done per week. Thus, the total duration required for the post surgery treatment will be 6 weeks. However, in consideration of foreign resident patients like you, the stitch removal and post surgery usually be done in his/her home country in case the patient can stay in Korea less than 2 weeks or so. Therefore, everything related to the procedures depends upon each patient.

365mc’s liposuction specialist clinicians with thousands of liposuction success cases perform surgeries themselves.
Also, we have a special team exclusively for foreigners for interpretation and after-surgery care.
The process for the Liposuction surgery would go in the following steps:

1. Visit the liposuction surgery center
2. 3D body type measurement and analysis
3. Consultation with specialists
4. Decision for surgery
5. Sterilizing air shower
6. Sedation anesthesia (residing anesthesia specialists)
7. Liposuction surgery
8. Recovery and discharge (within the day of surgery)

We use a high speed "linear reciprocating” suction cannal type instrument called Microair. Tumescent fluid will be injected under the subcutaneous fat layer to soften the fat deposits before the suction.
Currently we have 10 doctors at our Seoul clinic, and each doctors are specialized in specific regions of the body. If you have a doctor you want to schedule a surgery appt with, you can, depending on the doctor's surgery schedule. Depending on your preferred date and doctor's working schedule it might be possible for you to choose a specific doctor.
We use stitch up method (sutures). Each injection site will be about 0.5 to 1cm in length. And each incision (injection site) will be given 2 or 3 stitches. Liposuction surgery procedure is done with sleep anesthesia.

To give you a overall picture of our prices, I have included below the liposuction surgery price quote. However, please be noted that the prices below are based on the 'basic size'. Depending on your actual size of the body, the prices can go up.

Liposuction surgery Afterwards
Compression garment costs are not included in the surgery price and they will be ordered and produced to fit each individual, and accurate size measurements will be done during the consultation appt.
Doctor consultation fees and dressing fees & prescription fee is included in the surgery cost.
Additionally, we provide 6sessions of post-surgery aftercare treatments to patients from after 2weeks when the stitch outs are done.

We provide 6sessions of post surgery aftercare treatments to patients from after 2weeks when the stitch outs are done.2 sets of Radiofrequency treatment (accelerates good healing)/2set of Carboxy Therapy/2 set of Enderplus therapy.

Cryolipolysis Coolsculping
It is the non-invasive cooling of adipose tissue to induce lipolysis - the breaking down of fat cells - to reduce body fat without damage to other tissues.
Exposure to cooling via energy extraction causes fat cell apoptosis - a natural, controlled cell death, which leads to the release of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators that gradually eliminate the affected cells.
Inflammatory cells gradually digest the affected fat cells in the months after the procedure, reducing the thickness of the fat layer.
Lipids from the fat cells are slowly released and transported by the lymphatic system to be processed and eliminated, much like that of fat from food.
Time: 30- 60min
Cycle: Once a Month
Price:
Cryolipolysis Coolsculping: 29,000won ($29)
1 Cryopolysis CoolingSculping + 3 Mesotherapy+3 Carboxytherapy (a Month PKG -7 times + Prescription): 614,900won ($602)

Good to see some negative /honest reviews about cool sculpting. Did anyone try other non-invasive fat removal treatments such as ultra shape / Velashape / Vanquish? Might be under different names or machines for different regions, but basically using laser or ultrasound to remove fat.
