Treatment Overview
Underarm InMode Tightening in Korea is a non-surgical dermatology procedure designed to firm sagging skin, reduce underarm crepiness, and improve contour in the upper arm area. Utilizing InMode’s radiofrequency-assisted technology (RFAL), the treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production while tightening soft tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer underarms without invasive surgery.
This procedure is ideal for individuals with age-related skin laxity, post-weight-loss sagging, or loose underarm skin seeking a non-invasive solution to enhance arm aesthetics. Korean dermatology clinics often combine InMode treatments with HIFU, RF boosters, or skin rejuvenation therapies to achieve optimal lifting, firming, and texture improvement.
