Treatment Overview
Underarm BodyTite Contouring in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce excess fat and tighten sagging skin in the underarm (axilla) area. Utilizing radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, BodyTite melts stubborn fat while simultaneously contracting the skin, resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more toned underarm contour.
This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate underarm sagging, post-weight-loss skin laxity, or stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Unlike traditional surgical lifts, BodyTite requires only small incisions, reduces scarring, and offers faster recovery. Korean clinics often combine BodyTite with HIFU, RF boosters, or skin rejuvenation treatments to enhance results.

Treatment Process in Korea
A consultation evaluates underarm fat, skin laxity, and contouring needs. After local anesthesia or numbing, small incisions are made to insert the RF cannula. Controlled RF energy melts fat while contracting skin simultaneously. Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes. Optional combination treatments such as HIFU or skin boosters may be applied for enhanced underarm contouring. Post-procedure cooling and aftercare instructions are provided.
