Treatment Overview
The HIFU Deep-Layer Fat Melting Program in Korea is a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to target and eliminate deep-seated fat cells using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). Unlike traditional HIFU, this program penetrates multiple fat layers, providing more thorough fat reduction, skin tightening, and improved body contours in a single session.
Korean aesthetic clinics use next-generation HIFU systems with multi-depth transducers, real-time ultrasound guidance, and controlled thermal energy delivery to ensure precise, safe, and effective deep-fat melting customized to each patient’s body type.
