QD S-Cut Injectionin Gangnam, Seoul
QD S-Cut Injection is a steroid-containing program for consultation about localized body contours, with 30cc or 60cc and one- or four-session options. We first assess whether fullness in the upper arms, thighs or abdomen reflects fat, swelling, muscle or loose skin. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, consultation helps determine which options suit your concerns.
Who it’s for
- Localized fat on the abdomen or flanks (love handles)
- Small pockets of fat on the inner or outer thighs
- Upper-arm fat or fullness along the bra line and back
- Anyone who prefers a non-surgical, injection-based option
This is not a weight-loss or large-volume fat-reduction treatment and does not replace liposuction. The extent and duration of change vary with the person and formulation.
How it works
Standard S-Cut contains steroids; S-Cut Plus does not. The other ingredients, concentrations, intended use and treatment area are confirmed before treatment. The name alone does not establish a particular fat-reducing ingredient, mechanism or approved indication. Steroid-related precautions and previous injection reactions are reviewed.
THE MECHANISM, STEP BY STEP
01Assess the cause
Assess fat distribution, swelling and skin laxity standing and seated. Review previous injections or surgery, skin inflammation and current medicines.
02Check ingredients
Standard S-Cut contains steroids; S-Cut Plus does not. The other ingredients, concentrations, intended use and treatment area are confirmed before treatment. The name alone does not establish a particular fat-reducing ingredient, mechanism or approved indication. Steroid-related precautions and previous injection reactions are reviewed.
03Plan volume and sessions
30cc and 60cc describe the volume used per session, offered as one or four sessions. A larger area does not automatically need the larger volume; area, volume and number of sessions are decided after examination. When the concern comes mainly from loose skin rather than fat, this injection alone may not address it, so the cause found at examination is explained first.
04Review progress
Review settling discomfort and skin reactions before discussing the next session and its interval. Even with a four-session plan, your condition is checked again before each one. At reassessment, fat, swelling and skin are compared again in the same positions as at the first examination.

- Small pockets of fat on the tummy.
- Flanks & love handles
- The waist and sides.
- Thighs

- 230cc and 60cc describe the volume used per session, offered as one or four sessions.

How it compares
Standard S-Cut and Plus differ in steroid inclusion. “Plus” does not promise stronger results or fewer side effects; the actual ingredients and your circumstances guide the choice. If you have had body injections before, your response then and your current condition help decide which of the two to discuss.

| Basis for selection | Assess fat distribution, swelling and skin laxity standing and seated.

Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.
