Quick answer · What is Body Skin Tightening?
Body skin tightening is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused ultrasound (body HIFU) or radiofrequency to heat the deeper skin layers on the body. The heat contracts existing collagen and stimulates new collagen and elastin, so skin feels firmer and looks smoother over two to three months. Sessions take 30–60 minutes with little to no downtime, and a series of three to five sessions about four weeks apart is typical.

How it works
Heat beneath the surface that firms skin from within
Focused ultrasound places energy at set depths under the skin, while radiofrequency heats a broader volume of the dermis. Both cause collagen fibres to contract and trigger a healing response that builds new collagen over the following weeks. Your doctor chooses the device by skin thickness and the degree of laxity in each area.
-
Skin assessment
Your doctor checks skin thickness and laxity, then chooses the device and marks the treatment zones.
-
Energy delivery
The handpiece moves across the area delivering heat. You feel warmth or brief deep pulses, adjusted to your comfort.
-
Collagen rebuilds
Skin can feel slightly firmer the same day. The main tightening develops over two to three months.

FAQ
Body Skin Tightening questions we hear every day
Does body skin tightening hurt?
Most patients feel warmth or short, deep pulses of heat, strongest over thinner skin. Your doctor adjusts energy levels to keep it comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
A series of three to five sessions about four weeks apart is typical. Some areas respond with fewer sessions, depending on skin quality.
When will I see results?
Skin may feel slightly tighter straight away. The main firming builds over two to three months as new collagen forms.
Is there downtime?
Little to none. Mild redness or warmth usually fades within a few hours, and you can resume normal activities the same day.
Body skin tightening or Body Thermage?
Both firm the skin with heat. Body Thermage is usually a single, longer session with monopolar radiofrequency, while other tightening devices are given as a series; your doctor recommends based on your skin and schedule.
How much does body skin tightening cost in Myeongdong?
Price depends on the device, the size of the area and the number of sessions. The same price list applies to every nationality and you receive it in writing before treatment. See our price list.
