Treatment Overview
Waist & Flank BodyTite Contouring in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce localized fat and tighten sagging skin around the waist, love handles, and flank areas. Using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, BodyTite simultaneously melts fat and contracts skin tissue, resulting in a slimmer, firmer, and more contoured waistline and flanks.
This treatment is ideal for individuals with post-weight-loss sagging, age-related skin laxity, or stubborn fat deposits due to genetics. Unlike traditional liposuction or surgical lifts, BodyTite requires minimal incisions, reduces scarring, and provides faster recovery. Korean clinics often combine BodyTite with HIFU, RF boosters, lipolysis, or Juvelook for enhanced contouring, skin tightening, and hydration.

Treatment Process in Korea
The procedure begins with a consultation to assess skin laxity, fat deposits, and waist/flank contour. After local anesthesia or numbing, small incisions are made for the RF cannula. Controlled radiofrequency energy melts fat while contracting skin simultaneously. Sessions usually last 45–75 minutes depending on area size. Optional combination treatments may be applied for enhanced results. Cooling and detailed aftercare instructions are provided post-procedure.
