Treatment Overview
Doublo Body in Korea is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to target fat cells and stimulate collagen deep within the skin. Originally developed for facial lifting, the Doublo device has been adapted for body contouring, including the upper arms, where stubborn fat and skin laxity are common concerns.
By delivering focused ultrasound energy to the subcutaneous fat and SMAS layer, Doublo Body breaks down fat cells while tightening the skin. This dual action helps patients achieve slimmer, firmer arms without incisions, needles, or downtime. In Korea, it is often used as a safe and effective alternative to surgical arm liposuction.
Purpose & Benefits
- Arm Fat Reduction: Ultrasound energy disrupts fat cells, which are eliminated naturally.
- Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen and elastin production to firm sagging skin.
- Slimmer Arm Contour: Reduces “bat wings” for a toned, youthful arm profile.
- Non-Surgical: No anesthesia, incisions, or recovery time required.
- Gradual, Natural Results: Improvements continue over 2–3 months.
