Treatment Overview
Sonic Cellulite Ultrasound Therapy in Korea is a non-invasive treatment designed to target cellulite, reduce localized fat deposits, and improve skin texture on areas such as the thighs, buttocks, and hips. The therapy uses focused ultrasound waves to break down fat cells beneath the skin while stimulating collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more contoured skin.
Korean clinics often combine Sonic Ultrasound Therapy with complementary treatments such as RF (Radiofrequency), Body HIFU, shockwave therapy, or lipolytic injections for enhanced cellulite reduction and body contouring.
Treatment plans are customized based on cellulite severity, fat distribution, and skin elasticity to ensure gradual, natural-looking results.
Korea is internationally recognized for Sonic Ultrasound programs that integrate:
- Focused ultrasound to disrupt fat cells and improve skin texture
- Optional combination with RF, HIFU, shockwave, or lipolytic injections
- AI- or ultrasound-guided mapping for precise treatment
- Multi-session protocols for safe and effective results
- Outpatient procedures with minimal downtime
This ensures safe, effective, and precise non-surgical cellulite reduction.
