Quick intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong provides non-surgical body contouring for small, stubborn bulges and mild skin laxity with little to no downtime. We’re on the 3rd floor of Beneheim City (162 Apgujeong-ro), a short walk from Apgujeong Station Exit 5.

What is non-surgical body contouring?

A doctor-guided plan that refines shape using targeted technologies and injectables—no incisions. Best for pinchable fat and mild laxity when weight is otherwise stable.

Modalities we may use (personalized):

• Injection lipolysis (fat-dissolving injections): deoxycholic-acid–based micro-injections for small pockets (e.g., double chin, bra line, lower abdomen “pinch”).
• Energy-based tightening/contouring: radiofrequency or focused ultrasound for skin firmness and contour smoothing (jawline/abdomen/arms/thighs).
• HIFEM/EMS muscle toning: high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation to tone core, glutes, and thighs.
• Supportive care: edema control, lymphatic tips, and activity guidance to optimize results.

Not a weight-loss program. For large-volume reduction or significant laxity, surgical options may be more appropriate.

Good candidates (examples)

• Under-chin fullness, jowls (select cases), upper/lower abdomen, flanks, bra bulge, back roll, upper arms, inner/outer thighs, knees
• Mild post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss laxity
• Patients preferring gradual, low-downtime improvement

Who might not be a candidate

• Pregnant or breastfeeding
• Large-volume fat goals or marked skin excess (surgery may be better)
• Active skin infection, uncontrolled health conditions
• Unrealistic expectations (we’ll help set safe, achievable targets)

How we build your plan

1. Assessment: fat thickness, skin elasticity, muscle tone, and safety mapping
2. Modalities: choose injections, energy device(s), muscle toning—or a combo
3. Schedule: typically 2–4 sessions/area, spaced 4–8 weeks apart
4. Tracking: standardized photos and measurements for objective progress

Visit flow (what to expect)

1. Consult → goals, medical history, photography
2. Mark & consent → exact zones and session count
3. Treatment → injections and/or device session (20–45 min/area)
4. Post-care → cooling/compression tips, activity guidance
5. Follow-up → review at 4–8 weeks; refine plan

Preparation (simple checklist)

• Avoid NSAIDs, high-dose omega-3, vitamin E for 3–5 days if your doctor agrees
• Hydrate well; light meal before visits
• Wear loose clothing for torso/leg sessions
• Share medications/supplements (especially anticoagulants, retinoids, steroids)
• For submental/face areas: avoid dental work or injections near the date

Aftercare (checklist)

• Ice intermittently first day if tender/swollen
• Light activity same day; gym after 24–48 hours as tolerated
• Avoid sauna/heat and heavy alcohol for 24–48 hours
• No massage unless we advise it
• Call us for increasing redness, severe pain, fever, blisters, or numbness

Downtime & timeline

• Injection lipolysis: swelling/tenderness 2–7 days (submental may look fuller before it slims); visible change in 3–6 weeks
• Energy-based tightening: mild redness/warmth for hours–1 day; tightening evolves over 6–12 weeks
• HIFEM/EMS: workout-like soreness 1–2 days; tone improves across 4–8 sessions

Combination options (doctor-guided)

• Tightening after fat reduction to sharpen edges
• Muscle toning to enhance posture and abdominal definition
• Weight-management consults for durable results
• Jawline balancing (neuromodulators/fillers) when appropriate and safely sequenced

Pricing & insurance notes

• Fees vary by area, modality mix, and number of sessions
• Cosmetic services are typically self-pay; packages may be available
• Request an itemized English receipt (diagnosis/procedure codes when applicable)

Safety note (not an emergency service)
