At Forena Clinic, we see a growing number of international patients who travel to Seoul specifically for aesthetic treatments — and fat dissolving injections are consistently one of the most requested. If you're visiting Korea and looking for a trusted clinic with English support, we want to give you an honest, detailed picture of what our SS Slimming Injection involves, what it costs, and whether it's the right fit for you.

Why Seoul for Fat Dissolving Injections?

Korea has long been a global leader in aesthetic medicine. Seoul's clinics combine pharmaceutical-grade formulas, experienced practitioners, and a level of care that's difficult to match elsewhere — often at a fraction of the cost of equivalent treatments in the US, UK, or Australia. At Forena, we bridge the language gap with full English consultation and aftercare support from start to finish.

A note on why we use a steroid-free formula: Many fat dissolving injections available in Korea contain corticosteroids. At Forena, we deliberately chose to formulate our SS Slimming Injection without steroids, because long-term body care should not carry hormonal risks.

What Is the SS Slimming Injection?

Our SS Slimming Injection is a non-surgical, precision body contouring treatment. A steroid-free formula is injected directly into the target area, breaking down stubborn fat cells so your body can eliminate them naturally. There are no incisions, no general anaesthesia, and no significant downtime — making it one of the most practical aesthetic treatments for tourists visiting Seoul on a schedule.

The treatment addresses five key concerns:

• Fat reduction — breaks down localised fat cells precisely where you need it

• Waste elimination — supports your body's natural discharge of broken-down fat

• Cellulite smoothing — visibly improves skin texture in treated areas

• Non-invasive care — no surgery, no scars, no anaesthesia required

• Steroid-free formula — safe for repeated sessions without hormonal risk

Treatment Areas

We can treat most areas where stubborn localised fat accumulates. During your consultation, our team will assess your goals and recommend the most effective zones for your body. Common treatment areas include:

• Abdomen

• Arms / back of arms

• Inner and outer thighs

• Flanks

• Calves

• Bra line / back

Pricing

We believe in being upfront about pricing, especially for international patients planning their visit around a budget.

275,000 KRW per area, per session (200cc of SS Slimming formula per area)

Currency	Approximate Price
USD	~$190
AUD	~A$260
GBP	~£148

One area = one localised treatment zone. For example, the abdomen counts as one area, the back of arms counts as one area, and the calves count as one area. If you'd like to treat multiple zones in a single visit, each area is priced separately at 275,000 KRW.

To put this in perspective:

Country	Typical Market Price per Area
Korea (Forena Clinic)	~$190 USD
United States	$400 – $700 USD
United Kingdom	£300 – £600
Australia	A$400 – A$750

Who Is This Treatment For?

The SS Slimming Injection is a good fit for you if:

• You want fat reduction without steroids or hormonal compounds

• You have stubborn, localised fat that hasn't responded to diet or exercise

• You prefer natural-looking results over surgical body contouring

• You're visiting Seoul and want an effective treatment with minimal downtime

• You haven't seen results from other fat reduction methods

What to Expect at Your Appointment

We understand that visiting a clinic abroad requires a real level of trust — and we take that seriously. From your first message to your final aftercare note, our English-speaking team is with you every step of the way.

How many sessions will I need?

We generally recommend 3 to 5 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, for optimal results. Many international patients start with one session on their first visit to Seoul, then schedule follow-ups on a return trip. We'll always give you an honest recommendation based on your individual goals.

Is there downtime?

Minimal. You can return to daily activities immediately after your appointment. We ask that you avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol for a few days post-treatment. Minor temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and will resolve naturally.

Aftercare Instructions

• Avoid massaging or applying pressure to the treated area

• Skip intense exercise, saunas, and alcohol for one week after treatment

• Drink plenty of water to help your body flush out broken-down fat cells

• Temporary swelling, redness, or light bruising is normal and will subside on its own

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the procedure painful? We use a specialised localised technique to keep discomfort to a minimum. Most patients tolerate it well. Any minor bruising or swelling typically settles within a few days.

Does the formula contain steroids? No. Our SS Slimming Injection is entirely steroid-free, making it a safer option for repeated sessions compared to many alternatives on the Korean market.

Can I travel immediately after treatment? Yes. There is no recovery period that would interfere with your travel plans. We advise keeping the treated area comfortable and staying well hydrated.

How much does each session cost? 275,000 KRW per area (approximately $190 USD / A$260 / £148). Pricing stacks per area if treating multiple zones in one visit. Prices are accurate as of April 25, 2025, and subject to change — please contact us to confirm before booking.

Do you offer English consultations? Yes. We provide full English support from your initial enquiry through to aftercare. We want you to feel completely informed and comfortable throughout your visit.

How soon will I see results? Results develop gradually as your body eliminates the broken-down fat cells. Most patients begin noticing changes after 2–4 weeks, with more defined results after completing a full course of sessions.

Is this safe to combine with other treatments? Depending on your goals, the SS Slimming Injection can be part of a broader treatment plan. Our team will advise on the best approach during your consultation.
