1 / 5Body contouring at UPIC Clinic Myeongdong includes non-surgical, energy-based treatments intended to address selected areas of localised fat, reduced skin firmness and changes in body contour.
The clinic currently provides Body ONDA, Body LinearZ and Body Ultherapy Prime. These treatments use different forms of energy and should not be treated as interchangeable. The appropriate option depends on whether the main concern involves subcutaneous fat, skin laxity, cellulite appearance or a combination of these factors.
Non-surgical body contouring is not a weight-loss treatment and cannot produce the degree of tissue removal associated with liposuction or surgery. A consultation is required to assess the treatment area, select the appropriate device and confirm the expected degree of change, session plan, recovery and current price.
Fornur helps international visitors explore Beauty & Medical services in Korea and request consultations with available clinic partners. The consultation request is free. Body-contouring treatment is charged separately.
UPIC Clinic Myeongdong currently offers three verified non-surgical body-contouring options:
Body ONDA, which uses microwave energy with different treatment depths
Body LinearZ, which uses focused ultrasound delivered through linear and dot modes
Body Ultherapy Prime, which uses focused ultrasound with imaging to guide treatment depth
These treatments are intended for selected contouring or skin-firmness concerns rather than overall weight reduction. The treatment plan must be based on an assessment of the area, tissue characteristics, previous procedures, implanted devices, medical history and the result the patient is hoping to achieve.
Treatment | Technology | General Treatment Focus |
Body ONDA | Microwave energy | Selected localised fat, skin laxity and cellulite appearance |
Body LinearZ | Focused ultrasound using linear and dot delivery | Body tightening and selected contour concerns |
Body Ultherapy Prime | Focused ultrasound with imaging | Selected body-tightening and contouring goals |
The descriptions above explain the general difference between the available technologies. They do not establish that every option is suitable for every body area or patient.
Body ONDA uses microwave energy delivered through treatment handpieces designed for different depths.
UPIC Clinic currently describes a shallower 3 mm handpiece for skin-firmness concerns and a deeper 7 mm handpiece for selected fat-related treatment goals. The clinic identifies the upper arms, abdomen, thighs and calves as example treatment areas.
The treatment plan should confirm which handpiece will be used, what tissue is being targeted and whether the intended goal involves contour, skin firmness, cellulite appearance or more than one concern.
Body ONDA should not be described as painless, risk-free or equivalent to liposuction. The level of discomfort and visible response can differ according to the area, settings and individual sensitivity.
Body LinearZ uses high-intensity focused ultrasound, commonly abbreviated as HIFU. Its energy can be delivered through both dot and linear modes at different depths.
UPIC Clinic currently presents Body LinearZ for the upper arms, abdomen and thighs. Its official service information describes several cartridges intended to deliver energy into different tissue layers.
The consultation should establish which cartridge and depth are being proposed, how the area will be mapped and whether the primary goal is skin tightening, reduction of a small localised bulge or improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
The term “Body HIFU” is too broad for informed treatment planning. The final page should use the verified device name, Body LinearZ, whenever that is the procedure being discussed.
Body Ultherapy Prime is another focused-ultrasound option available at UPIC Clinic Myeongdong. The system uses imaging to help the practitioner view tissue layers and plan ultrasound delivery.
The clinic currently identifies the upper arms, abdomen, thighs and calves as example body areas. Availability for a particular concern must still be confirmed through assessment.
Body Ultherapy Prime should not be confused with a surgical body procedure or assumed to produce large changes in body size. The treatment plan should explain the intended depth, number of treatment lines, expected sensations and realistic level of improvement.
A body-contouring consultation can be appropriate when the concern involves a small localised fat deposit, reduced definition in one area, mild skin laxity or the appearance of cellulite.
It can also help determine whether an area that has changed following weight loss or pregnancy is suitable for a non-surgical treatment. However, substantial excess skin, a large volume of fat or abdominal muscle separation cannot be assumed to respond adequately to an energy-based procedure.
The assessment should first determine what is creating the visible concern. Fat, loose skin, muscle shape, fluid retention, scarring and skeletal structure require different approaches.
UPIC Clinic’s current body-treatment information identifies the following areas:
Upper arms
Abdomen
Thighs
Calves
The previously published page also listed the waist, love handles, back, hips and flanks. These areas should not remain as confirmed treatment options until the clinic verifies which device is used and whether the area is currently available.
Treatment boundaries must also be defined before pricing. “Abdomen,” for example, may not automatically include the flanks, waist or lower back.
Non-surgical body contouring is intended to change the appearance or circumference of a selected area. It does not treat obesity, reduce visceral fat around internal organs or produce the health benefits associated with medically meaningful weight loss.
It should not replace nutrition, physical activity or appropriate medical support for someone whose main goal is reducing their overall weight.
Changes in body weight after treatment can also affect the appearance of the treated area. Maintaining a relatively stable weight can make it easier to assess and preserve a cosmetic contouring result.
The FDA’s guidance on non-invasive body-contouring technologies explains the difference between cosmetic body contouring and weight-loss treatment.
Your Fornur consultation request should explain whether the main concern involves localised fat, skin looseness, cellulite appearance or another change.
Include:
The exact body area you want assessed
Your main concern and the degree of change you expect
Previous body-contouring treatments or surgery
Scars, hernias, implants or medical devices in or near the area
Relevant medical conditions, medicines and supplements
Preferred appointment dates and departure date from Korea
Photographs can help communicate the area when requested, but they do not replace an appropriate assessment.
Before treatment is confirmed, the plan should identify the exact device, treatment depth, practitioner, number of sessions, session spacing, expected recovery and total price.
The treatment area should first be examined and mapped according to the selected device and agreed treatment goal.
The practitioner applies the relevant handpiece or transducer to the skin and delivers controlled energy to the planned tissue depth. Depending on the technology, sensations can include warmth, pressure, tingling or temporary discomfort.
Tell the practitioner immediately if you experience sharp pain, unexpected burning or another sensation that differs from what was explained before treatment.
Appointment duration depends on the device, size and number of areas, treatment settings, preparation and post-treatment assessment. The earlier page’s estimate of 30 to 90 minutes should not be presented as a guaranteed timeframe.
There is no universal session number for body contouring.
The plan depends on the device, area size, tissue thickness, skin condition, treatment settings and individual response. One person may be advised to reassess after a single procedure, while another may be offered a spaced course.
Before purchasing a package, confirm how progress will be measured, when the area will be reassessed and whether additional or maintenance treatment is likely to be discussed.
A fixed number of sessions should not be presented as certain before the area has been examined.
Results from non-surgical body contouring are generally more limited than results from surgical fat removal or excess-skin surgery.
Any visible change can develop gradually. The timing depends on the technology, treatment plan and individual tissue response.
Results can also be temporary, and not every patient achieves the degree of change they hoped for. Before proceeding, the treatment plan should explain what improvement is realistic, when it can be assessed and what the procedure cannot achieve.
The page must not promise:
Major weight loss
Permanent removal of all fat in an area
A guaranteed smaller clothing size
A permanently flat abdomen
Complete removal of loose skin or cellulite
Surgical-level body reshaping
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, warmth, numbness or localised firmness can occur after non-surgical body contouring.
The exact recovery profile differs between microwave and ultrasound treatments. Device-specific aftercare should explain exercise, heat exposure, alcohol, massage, skincare and when normal activity can be resumed.
Although many reactions are short-lived, energy-based treatments can cause more significant complications. These can include burns, blisters, pigment changes, persistent pain, nodules, nerve-related symptoms or scarring.
Seek prompt medical assessment if you develop blistering, worsening pain, marked colour change, increasing swelling, weakness, persistent numbness or another reaction that is substantially different from the expected recovery.
Tell the treatment provider about any pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, metal implant, artificial joint, surgical mesh, intrauterine device or other implanted medical device.
You should also disclose previous surgery, scars or hernias in the treatment area, active skin conditions, open wounds, pregnancy or breastfeeding, bleeding disorders, immune suppression, uncontrolled diabetes and medicines that affect bleeding or skin sensitivity.
Suitability restrictions differ between devices. Being eligible for one body-contouring treatment does not automatically mean that microwave and focused-ultrasound treatments are both appropriate.
Do not stop prescribed medication unless the healthcare professional responsible for the prescription advises you to do so.
The consultation request submitted through Fornur is free. Body-contouring treatments are not free.
Pricing can depend on the device, treatment area, size of the area, number of areas, settings, session quantity and whether procedures are being combined.
Before paying, request written confirmation of:
The exact device and treatment area
What constitutes one chargeable area
Whether both sides are included
The number and spacing of sessions
Package validity and rescheduling conditions
Follow-up and any additional charges
Do not rely on a headline package price without confirming what it includes.
A multi-session body-contouring plan may not be practical during a short visit to Korea. Your consultation request should include your preferred dates, departure date and whether you are available for follow-up.
The clinic must confirm appointment availability, the treatment device, practitioner, language support, current price and the process for obtaining advice after leaving Korea.
Allow sufficient time for the treatment, early skin response and any recommended in-person review. Avoid scheduling an unfamiliar energy-based body procedure immediately before a long flight or important event.
Fornur facilitates consultation enquiries with available clinic partners. It does not diagnose body concerns, select treatment settings or perform the procedure.
Non-surgical body contouring uses energy applied through the skin. It does not involve surgical incisions or physically suctioning fat from the body.
Royal LAMS body sculpting at 365mc Clinic is a different procedure and should be assessed according to its own method, recovery and suitability.
Royal liposuction at 365mc Clinic is an invasive surgical procedure that physically removes fat. It generally involves a different level of potential change, medical risk and recovery.
People interested in altering facial rather than body contours can separately review face contouring at UPIC Clinic.
These treatments should not be presented as equivalent options.
