Treatment Overview
Arm BodyTite Tightening in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce sagging, loose skin and excess fat in the upper arms, commonly known as “bat wings.” Using advanced radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, BodyTite simultaneously melts unwanted fat and contracts skin tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more sculpted arms.
Unlike traditional arm lift surgery (brachioplasty), BodyTite offers natural-looking results with tiny incisions, minimal scarring, and shorter downtime. Korean dermatology and plastic surgery clinics often combine BodyTite with liposuction, HIFU, or skin boosters to enhance arm contouring and skin rejuvenation.
Purpose & Benefits
- Eliminates Arm Sagging: Tightens loose, hanging upper arm skin.
- Reduces Stubborn Fat: Targets fat resistant to diet and exercise.
- Dual Action (Fat + Skin): Contracts tissues while removing fat.
- Minimally Invasive: Tiny incisions, less scarring, and faster recovery.
- Combination Therapy Friendly: Can be paired with HIFU, liposuction, or boosters for improved outcomes.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults with loose or sagging upper arm skin.
- Patients with moderate fat deposits resistant to exercise.

- Rare risks include minor unevenness, numbness, or thermal burns.
- Final results may vary depending on skin elasticity and collagen response.
Techniques Used
- Radiofrequency-Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL): Liquefies fat and contracts collagen fibers.
- Micro-Cannula Insertion: Delivers RF energy precisely under the skin.
- Combination Approaches: Can include arm liposuction, HIFU, or Juvelook for additional tightening.
- Korean Custom Protocols: Tailored energy settings for safe, natural results.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Swelling and tenderness usually subside within 5–7 days.
- Compression garments may be recommended for 1–2 weeks.
- Light daily activities can resume immediately; avoid strenuous exercise for 1–2 weeks.
- Maintenance or touch-up treatments may be advised every 18–24 months.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Noticeable fat reduction and skin tightening.
- 1–3 Months: Ongoing collagen remodeling improves firmness and contour.
- Longevity: Results typically last several years with stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
- Enhanced Results: Combination therapies extend outcomes and improve skin texture.
Treatment Process in Korea
A consultation is conducted to evaluate arm fat distribution and skin laxity. Local anesthesia or sedation is provided, followed by small incisions through which an RF cannula is inserted. Controlled RF energy melts fat and contracts skin tissues simultaneously. Fat is removed via suction if needed. Sessions usually last 45–75 minutes, with optional add-ons like HIFU or boosters for enhanced tightening. Cooling care and post-treatment instructions are provided.
