Treatment Overview
Arm Skin Tightening in Korea is a non-surgical, advanced dermatology procedure designed to firm sagging or loose skin on the upper and lower arms. Using cutting-edge technologies such as radiofrequency (RF), ultrasound, or laser-based energy, Korean dermatologists stimulate collagen and elastin production in the dermis. This improves skin elasticity, smooths wrinkles, and restores a toned, youthful contour to the arms without surgery.
This treatment is ideal for post-weight-loss sagging, age-related skin laxity, or early signs of aging. Combination therapies, such as RF with HIFU, lipolysis, or Juvelook skin boosters, can enhance results by promoting skin tightening, hydration, and contouring.

- Stimulates Collagen & Elastin: Promotes long-term skin rejuvenation.

Treatment Process in Korea
The procedure begins with a consultation to evaluate arm skin laxity, texture, and contour. After cleansing and optional numbing, RF or ultrasound energy is applied in a vector-based pattern to the targeted areas. Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes depending on the area size. Optional combination treatments such as HIFU, Juvelook, or lipolysis may be applied for enhanced results. Cooling and aftercare instructions are provided post-treatment.
