Treatment Overview
Upper Back Skin Tightening in Korea is a non-surgical, advanced dermatology procedure designed to firm and rejuvenate loose or sagging skin in areas like the bra line, mid-back, and shoulder blades. Using cutting-edge technologies such as radiofrequency (RF), ultrasound (HIFU), or laser-based energy, Korean dermatologists stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve skin elasticity, smoothness, and contour without invasive surgery.
This treatment is ideal for age-related skin laxity, post-weight-loss sagging, or post-pregnancy loose skin. Combination therapies, such as RF with HIFU, Thermage, or Juvelook skin boosters, can further enhance results by improving tightening, hydration, and overall back contouring.
