LAMS vs O-Slim Shot: How to Choose Between 365mc's Two Body Contouring Options

Some people want to reshape a specific area without committing to a full procedure. Others have reached a plateau and need something more substantive. 365mc offers both an injection-based and a minimally invasive option—and knowing the difference matters.

What is LAMS?

LAMS (Local Anesthetic Minimal-Invasive Liposuction) is 365mc's minimally invasive fat extraction procedure. It physically removes localized fat through a small-gauge cannula under local anesthesia—no general anesthesia, no large incisions. LAMS received the Excellence Award at the KSDS International Conference 2024 and is backed by joint research with Seoul National University College of Medicine.

What is the O-Slim Shot ?

The o-slim shot is 365mc's DCA-based fat dissolving injection. Deoxycholic acid (DCA) is injected into the subcutaneous fat layer, where it chemically breaks down fat cell membranes. The DCA ingredient is approved by both the U.S. FDA and Korea's MFDS. The o-slim shot is officially indicated for localized areas such as the double chin, auxiliary breast, and inner thighs.

What’s the difference between LAMS and the O-Slim Shot? 

The two procedures serve different goals. LAMS physically extracts fat through a minimally invasive technique. The o-slim shot works chemically, using DCA to break down fat cells in localized areas. A single o-slim shot session takes 10 to 20 minutes with same-day return to daily activities, while LAMS typically involves a recovery period and a structured aftercare program.

Which Is Right for You?

The right choice is best confirmed in consultation, since it depends on each patient's condition. Officially, the o-slim shot is indicated for localized areas such as the double chin, auxiliary breast, and inner thighs. The two procedures are not mutually exclusive—for the same area, LAMS can be followed by the o-slim shot after four to six weeks, and for different areas, they can also be performed together.
