BodyTite in Gangnam, Seoul
A minimally invasive procedure that uses internal radiofrequency to melt fat and contract loose skin in the same session — a middle ground between non-surgical devices and liposuction.
What is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a minimally invasive body-contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL): under local anaesthesia, a thin internal probe heats and liquefies fat while an external electrode monitors temperature, contracting the overlying skin. The loosened fat is then removed by suction in the same session. It targets fat and moderate skin laxity together.
It suits areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs and flanks where fat sits under skin that has lost firmness. Because small entry points are made, there is a short recovery with compression garments.

Where BodyTite is used
It is chosen for areas where both fat and skin quality need improvement.
Abdomen
Lower belly fat with soft, loose skin.
Upper arms
Fat and laxity on the back of the arms.
Thighs
Inner thighs and above the knees.
Flanks & back
Love handles and bra-line fat.
A good fit if you…
- have localised fat plus moderate skin laxity
- want more change than non-surgical devices give
- can allow about 1–2 weeks of compression and limited exercise
- are at a stable, healthy weight
Consider alternatives if you…
- have only mild fat — consider non-surgical contouring
- have large excess skin that needs surgical removal
- have bleeding disorders or take blood thinners that cannot be paused
- are pregnant or have uncontrolled medical conditions

BodyTite questions we hear most
Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.
Is BodyTite the same as liposuction?
No. It also removes fat by suction, but first uses internal radiofrequency to liquefy fat and contract the skin, aiming for better tightening than conventional liposuction in suitable patients.
How long is the recovery?
Expect swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks and wear compression garments. Most people return to desk work within a few days to a week; strenuous exercise waits longer.
What are the risks?
Bruising, swelling, temporary numbness and contour irregularities are possible; burns and infection are uncommon but serious. Your doctor will review your medical history and medications first.
Can I have BodyTite on a short trip to Seoul?
It is better suited to a stay that allows follow-up during the first week or two. For short visits, non-surgical contouring or fat-dissolving injections are usually more practical.
How long do results last?
Removed fat cells do not return, and tightened skin lasts long term, although ageing and weight change still affect the area.
