Treatment Overview
Upper Back BodyTite Sculpting in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce localized fat and tighten sagging skin in the upper back and shoulder areas. Using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, BodyTite simultaneously melts fat and contracts the skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more contoured upper back.
This treatment is ideal for individuals with stubborn fat deposits, post-weight-loss sagging, or mild skin laxity in the upper back. Compared to traditional surgical procedures, BodyTite requires minimal incisions, reduces scarring, and offers faster recovery. Korean clinics often combine BodyTite with HIFU, RF boosters, or lipolysis for enhanced contouring and skin tightening.

Treatment Process in Korea
A consultation evaluates upper back fat, skin laxity, and contouring goals. After local anesthesia or numbing, small incisions are made for the RF cannula. Controlled RF energy melts fat while contracting skin simultaneously. Sessions typically last 45–75 minutes depending on area size. Optional combination treatments may be applied for enhanced results. Post-procedure cooling and aftercare instructions are provided.
