Q. How exactly do fat-dissolving injections work, and why are they said to be helpful for dieting?

To understand how this works, we first need to look at the mechanism: fat-dissolving injections reduce the size or rupture the structure of fat cells, allowing the components to flow into the bloodstream or lymphatic vessels. However, the critical factor is whether the 'exit route' is open. If circulation is blocked, the decomposed fat may simply linger in the body, which can sometimes lead to increased swelling. In Traditional Korean Medicine, this blockage is explained through the concepts of Dam-eum (痰飮, phlegm-fluid) and Eo-hyeol (瘀血, blood stasis). Dam-eum refers to the accumulation of unnecessary fluids and metabolic waste, while Eo-hyeol refers to stagnant blood that fails to flow smoothly. When these accumulate, the circulation of Qi and Blood is obstructed, creating 'stagnant zones' where fat is particularly stubborn and difficult to lose. Therefore, our approach goes beyond simply breaking down fat; we examine the state of Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency). Since the Spleen is responsible for fluid metabolism, a weakened Spleen function slows down the elimination of waste. By addressing this internal imbalance, the efficiency of the injection therapy increases, and you will feel a more significant sense of lightness in your body. Think of the injections as a 'priming water' (starting pump). I believe that by first repairing the body's circulatory system and combining it with appropriate treatments, we can minimize the yo-yo effect and potential side effects. It is never too late to decide after we carefully assess your current physiological state together.
