[Non-surgical Nasolabial Fold Line Contouring] Fat Reduction Above Nasolabial Folds
Fat needling is a non-surgical line care that uses an insulated needle to selectively reduce fat only in the desired area. Unlike lifting, which pulls a wide area, it precisely targets localized fat accumulated in areas like the nasolabial folds, creating a natural contour. It is performed without incision, reducing the burden, and is suitable for those who desire clearer line improvement. Synergistic effects can be expected when combined with lifting.

Nasolabial Folds, Volume Above Nasolabial Folds
The Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Distinctive Difference for Fundamental Resolution
Nasolabial folds are not a superficial problem.
Reduced dermal elasticity (sagging) + Fat descended due to cheek sagging + Fat pockets above the nasolabial folds + Already sunken nasolabial grooves
These four factors simultaneously create a complex structure.
Therefore, improvement is difficult with a single treatment,
and treatments tailored to each layer must be precisely applied in a layered approach for natural resolution.
1. Collagen Lifting to Firm the 'Dermal Layer' and Prevent Sagging
(Tensserma · Oligio · ONDA Tightening)
The primary cause of nasolabial folds is
reduced elasticity of the dermal layer that supports the skin.
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic utilizes Tensserma·Oligio·ONDA Tightening to
induce collagen regeneration in the deep dermal layer and
prevent sagging to ensure the nasolabial folds do not deepen further.
Increased elasticity through collagen regeneration
Increased skin thickness
Restoration of structural support for the nasolabial line
In other words, this is a foundational treatment based on “preventing further indentation of nasolabial folds and future recurrence.”
2. Fat Lifting: Broadly Contouring Already Descended Fat
(ONDA · InMode FX)
The convexity above the nasolabial folds is mostly
due to a widely accumulated fat layer from cheek fat descending downwards.
ONDA and InMode FX are
devices that, due to their handpiece characteristics, reduce wide fat layers layer by layer.
Reduction of overall fat volume accumulated under the cheeks
Refinement of sagging cheek lines
Alleviation of pressure from fat settled above the nasolabial folds
In other words, this is “the stage of contouring all descended cheek fat.”
3. Lipolysis Acupuncture: Precisely Removing 'Pocket Fat' Directly Above the Nasolabial Folds
(Delicate Fat Contouring)
Extensive fat lifting alone
leaves specific 'pinchable fat pockets' directly above the nasolabial folds.
This area is not reachable by handpieces,
making it difficult to remove with lifting alone.
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic utilizes insulated micro-needle Lipolysis Acupuncture to
precisely deliver strong radiofrequency energy only to specific pockets directly above the nasolabial folds,
precisely targeting and destroying the causative fat.
Sculptural removal of only unnecessary volume
Correction of left-right asymmetry
Alleviation of nasolabial line shadows
Addressing the fatty bulge above the nasolabial folds
This is a key step that defines the nasolabial fold line.
4. For nasolabial folds that have already sunken, we naturally fill them with ‘Collagen Volume Acupuncture (COVA)’.
Nasolabial folds often form as fat descends,
and it is common for the inner part of the nasolabial fold itself to have become sunken.
This area cannot be restored with simple lifting or fat reduction alone.
The volume itself needs to be replenished.
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's COVA Collagen Volume Acupuncture
induces dense collagen regeneration in the dermal layer,
allowing already sunken and deepened nasolabial folds to
gradually fill up with natural collagen volume.
Without the artificial feel of fillers,
it offers structural improvement where your own tissues firm up and refill.
In other words, for nasolabial folds presenting with hollowing + bulging + sagging,
this is an essential step for the most natural restoration.
Why are all four treatments necessary?
Nasolabial folds
reduced elasticity (dermal layer) + widespread fat + pocketed fat + hollowing
are a prime example of a complex area where these four causes act simultaneously.
The role of each step is as follows:
Collagen Lifting → prevents nasolabial fold sagging
Fat Lifting → reduces overall fat volume above the nasolabial folds
Fat Dissolving Acupuncture → precisely removes micro-pockets of fat directly above the nasolabial folds
Collagen Volume Acupuncture (COVA) → regenerates natural volume for already sunken nasolabial folds
When these four treatments are applied together,
the nasolabial fold line is refined in the most natural and clean way.
The Subtle Difference of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic views nasolabial folds
not merely as “wrinkles.”
dermis → widespread fat layer → pocketed fat → hollowed area
by anatomically differentiating all layers,
we adhere to the principle of precisely combining treatments for each layer and area.
Fat-refinement lifting to organize the widespread fat layer
Fat Dissolving Acupuncture for precise removal of pocketed fat
Collagen Lifting to block the cause of sagging
Collagen Volume Acupuncture (COVA) to restore hollowed volume
It is this 'subtly different design'
that subtly, yet effectively, refines the nasolabial fold line,
and it is Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's unique approach for natural transformation.
Q&A
고객님들이 가장 많이 물어보시는 내용을 모았습니다.
What kind of procedure is fat needling above the nasolabial folds?
It is a precise procedure that involves accurately inserting a micro-needle with an insulating coating into the fat layer, and then delivering high-frequency energy only to that specific area to selectively reduce fat cells.
How many sessions of fat needling are recommended?
Generally, we primarily recommend a total of 3 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Since there can be individual differences, it is best to decide after consulting with a specialist.
What is the pain level during fat needling above the nasolabial folds?
Cream anesthesia is performed before the procedure, so the pain is expected to be tolerable.
Does fat needling show better results than lifting procedures?
The two procedures have different improvement goals. If you wish to improve the nasolabial fold area, it is expected that combining both procedures will yield better synergy. It is important to consult with a specialist to choose the method that is right for you.
