Treatment Overview
The HIFU Precision Body Contouring Program in Korea is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to selectively target stubborn fat while tightening the skin. This program emphasizes precision contouring, delivering energy to specific fat layers and problem areas for a highly tailored and uniform body-shaping effect.
Korean aesthetic clinics use advanced precision HIFU systems equipped with multi-depth transducers, real-time ultrasound monitoring, and customizable energy delivery, allowing dermatologists to sculpt areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, waist, hips, and back with maximum safety and effectiveness.
