Treatment Overview
Exilis Ultra in Korea is a non-invasive body contouring and skin-tightening treatment for the abdomen that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with ultrasound technology. This dual-action system targets fat deposits while simultaneously stimulating collagen production, leading to both fat reduction and improved skin firmness.
Korean dermatology clinics use Exilis Ultra to address abdominal concerns such as stubborn fat, loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, and early signs of sagging. With no downtime, pain-free sessions, and gradual natural results, it has become a popular choice for patients seeking a slimmer, more toned midsection.
