Overview
What is body contouring?
Body contouring is the non-surgical reduction of fat and reshaping of specific areas that resist diet and exercise. Some fat deposits, such as the lower abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, upper arms and bra line, are governed by genetics and hormones rather than overall weight, which is why slim people can still have a pocket that will not shift. Non-surgical contouring targets these pockets with energy or injections that damage fat cells, which the body then clears over several weeks. It is not a weight-loss method; it is a shaping method for people close to their target weight.
Results depend on the device, the area, the number of sessions and the condition of the overlying skin. Loose skin after fat reduction can look worse, so tightening is often part of a good plan, and lymphatic support speeds clearance of treated fat.
How body contouring works at Oaro
At Oaro Dermatology Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul, body contouring is delivered through the Oaro Body Conditioning program. Dr. Chang-hyun Kim measures the area, pinches the fat layer and assesses skin laxity before selecting tools. Onda microwaves heat and reduce fat while tightening connective tissue; fat-dissolving injections treat smaller pockets such as the double chin or knees; Vacumed vacuum therapy improves drainage; and Thermage FLX Body or Densiti firms the skin. For patients whose goal is overall weight, the clinic discusses medically supervised options rather than device-based contouring. Measurements and photographs at every visit are kept in your care notebook.

Your visit
What to expect
1. Consultation & diagnosis
Your dermatologist measures and photographs each area, assesses the fat layer and skin, and asks about weight history. You receive a written plan with the devices, number of sessions and realistic reduction.
2. Treatment
Onda sessions take 30–45 minutes per area with a warm sensation and no downtime, repeated every two to four weeks. Fat-dissolving injections take about 15 minutes per area and cause swelling for a few days. Vacumed is added after energy treatments. Thermage FLX Body is scheduled once skin laxity is assessed after fat reduction.
3. Aftercare & follow-up
You receive English aftercare with hydration and activity guidance. Measurements are repeated at each visit, and your care notebook records progress and maintenance timing.
