Treatment Overview
Ulfit HIFU Cellulite Therapy in Korea is a non-invasive, energy-based treatment designed to reduce cellulite, tighten skin, and improve body contour on areas such as the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. The therapy uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue, selectively targeting fat cells while stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity.
Korean clinics often combine Ulfit HIFU with complementary modalities such as RF (Radiofrequency), shockwave therapy, lipolytic injections, or EMSculpt for enhanced cellulite reduction and contouring results.
Treatment plans are customized according to cellulite severity, fat distribution, and skin elasticity to ensure gradual, natural-looking results.
Korea is internationally recognized for Ulfit HIFU programs that integrate:
- HIFU energy to target deep fat layers and tighten skin
- Optional combination with RF, 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.
