Treatment Overview
Arm InMode Tightening in Korea is a non-surgical, advanced dermatology procedure designed to reduce sagging skin and tighten loose tissue in the upper arms. Using InMode’s radiofrequency-assisted technology, the treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production while targeting stubborn fat, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more toned arms without invasive surgery.
This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing “bat wings” due to aging, post-weight-loss sagging, or mild skin laxity. Many Korean dermatology clinics combine InMode treatments with HIFU, RF boosters, or skin rejuvenation therapies to maximize arm contouring, firmness, and skin hydration.
