Treatment Overview
Waist BodyTite Reduction in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce localized fat and tighten loose skin around the waist and love handle areas. Using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, BodyTite simultaneously melts fat and contracts skin, resulting in a slimmer, firmer, and more contoured waistline.
This treatment is ideal for individuals with stubborn waist fat, post-weight-loss sagging, or mild skin laxity due to aging or genetics. Unlike traditional liposuction or surgical waist lifts, BodyTite minimizes incisions, reduces scarring, and offers faster recovery. Many Korean clinics combine BodyTite with HIFU, RF boosters, lipolysis, or Juvelook for enhanced contouring and skin tightening.

Treatment Process in Korea
A consultation evaluates waist fat, skin laxity, and contouring goals. After local anesthesia or numbing, small incisions are made to insert the RF cannula. Controlled RF energy melts fat while contracting skin simultaneously. Sessions typically last 45–75 minutes depending on area size. Optional combination treatments may be applied for enhanced results. Cooling care and post-procedure instructions are provided.
