Treatment Overview
AccuSculpt in Korea is a laser-assisted lipolysis treatment that uses a 1444 nm Nd:YAG laser to precisely melt and remove stubborn fat deposits while tightening the skin. For patients struggling with arm fat (upper arms or “bat wings”), AccuSculpt offers a highly effective solution that not only slims the arms but also improves skin elasticity to prevent sagging.
Unlike traditional arm liposuction, AccuSculpt is minimally invasive, requiring only tiny incisions. The laser energy liquefies fat for easy removal and stimulates collagen production for firmer, smoother arms. It is a popular treatment in Korea for patients who want a slender, toned arm contour without extensive downtime.
Purpose & Benefits
- Arm Fat Reduction: Permanently removes stubborn fat deposits from upper arms.
- Skin Tightening: Prevents sagging through collagen stimulation.
- Slimmer Arm Contour: Creates a leaner, more youthful arm profile.
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions than traditional liposuction.
- Long-Lasting Results: Fat cells destroyed and removed permanently.
