Treatment Overview
BodyTite Tummy Tightening in Korea is a minimally invasive contouring procedure that uses InMode’s BodyTite technology with radio-frequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt stubborn abdominal fat and contract loose skin at the same time. It is often called a “scarless tummy tuck” because it delivers both fat reduction and skin tightening without the large incisions associated with traditional abdominoplasty.
Korean dermatology and aesthetic clinics recommend BodyTite for patients with belly fat, postpartum skin laxity, or early signs of abdominal sagging. For enhanced tightening, it is often combined with Morpheus8 RF microneedling, while AccuTite may be used for precision sculpting in smaller zones.
