Treatment Overview
Flank BodyTite Sculpting in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to target stubborn fat deposits and tighten loose skin around the flanks (love handles). Using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, BodyTite simultaneously melts fat and contracts skin tissue, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more contoured waistline.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who have excess flank fat due to genetics, weight fluctuations, or aging, and who want to improve their body contour without surgical liposuction. Korean clinics often combine BodyTite with HIFU, liposuction, or skin boosters for enhanced fat reduction and skin tightening.

Treatment Process in Korea
The procedure begins with a consultation to evaluate flank fat and skin laxity. After local anesthesia or sedation, small incisions are made to insert the RF cannula. Controlled radiofrequency energy melts fat and contracts skin simultaneously. Liquefied fat may be removed via suction if needed. Sessions typically last 45–75 minutes, and optional combination treatments may be applied for enhanced results. Cooling care and post-procedure instructions are provided.
