Features of FatX Core
1 Powerful Fat Reduction with High-Concentration Deoxycholic Acid
FatX Core is a 4th-generation fat-dissolving injection that contains deoxycholic acid, a substance officially recognized by the U.S. FDA for its fat-dissolving effects.
Its concentration is approximately 10,000 times higher (around 1%) than that of traditional fat-dissolving injections such as BNLS neo, allowing for much more efficient breakdown of fat cell membranes and promoting direct fat elimination.
*The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating the safety and effectiveness of drugs, medical devices, food, and cosmetics.
2 Removes Fat Cells to Reduce the Risk of Rebound
Deoxycholic acid works by destroying the fat cell membrane itself, reducing the number of fat cells directly.
Once removed, these fat cells rarely regenerate, making it less likely for fat to return (i.e., less rebound risk).
Additionally, the treatment may stimulate subcutaneous tissue remodeling, helping to maintain skin firmness and prevent sagging after fat reduction.
3 NAIS Complex for Reduced Downtime (Less Swelling & Pain)
Compared to the conventional FatX, FatX Core contains a higher concentration of the “NAIS Complex”, a blend of ingredients with anti-inflammatory and anti-edema properties.
This results in significantly reduced swelling and discomfort, making recovery smoother and more comfortable.
4 Non-Surgical Spot Fat Reduction with Simple Injections
As this is a needle-based treatment only, no incisions are required.
It enables targeted fat reduction in specific areas of the face or body, with no scarring.
It is a popular option for those who are hesitant about surgical procedures.
5 Remodeling Effect Helps Prevent Skin Sagging
During the fat-elimination process, the treatment may also promote collagen production and fibrous tissue remodeling within the subcutaneous layers.
This remodeling effect helps prevent skin laxity and contributes to a firmer, tighter appearance after the fat has been dissolved.
