What is Body LinearZ?
Body LinearZ is a non-invasive body lifting and tightening treatment that delivers focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and help care for the firmness of sagging body lines, without any cutting. The surface stays protected while heat is concentrated only at a set depth beneath it. It can be applied to body areas where firmness is a concern, such as the abdomen, thighs and arms. Like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight to a single point, the ultrasound energy is concentrated at one spot deep in the skin — leaving the surface untouched while applying heat only to the layer beneath, helping sagging body lines firm up again from within.
Who it may be considered for
Body LinearZ may be considered in the following situations.
- Reduced skin firmness and sagging of the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms after childbirth, weight change, or ageing is a concern
- Even after exercise or weight management, the skin in certain areas feels loose or the body line feels uneven
- The aim is to manage the contour and firmness of localized areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms together
- Non-invasive management of body firmness without incisions or injections is preferred
- Little recovery burden and gradual change are preferred
Body LinearZ is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to deliver heat energy to the desired depth, managing body firmness and contour. It is better understood as a treatment focused on improving loss of skin firmness and body line in specific areas rather than reducing weight itself.
Treatment is restricted during pregnancy or when pregnancy is possible. Treatment may also be difficult if there is active infection, inflammation, or an open wound in the treatment area. If there are metal implants in the treatment area, or a history of previous procedures or surgery such as fillers, lifting threads, or implants, please inform the medical team before treatment; eligibility is judged after confirming the location and timing.
The medical team determines suitability and the treatment areas, energy, and number of shots individually after assessing skin thickness, the degree of firmness loss, and fat distribution in the areas you wish to address, such as the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms.
What happens at the visit
1) Consultation: the doctor reviews the skin and area condition and medical history (possible pregnancy, metal implants, prior procedures, medications, etc.) and, where helpful, assesses the skin to plan the treatment area (abdomen, thighs, arms, etc.), shot count and depth individually.
2) Preparation: the area is prepared, guide lines are marked, and a gel is applied to help transmit the ultrasound.
3) Treatment: the handpiece is held against the area, delivering ultrasound energy point by point at the set depth and covering the area evenly (the shot count and depth are planned by the doctor according to the area and condition).
4) A momentary prickling or warm heat may be felt as each pulse of energy is delivered; if it feels uncomfortable, informing the doctor immediately lets the output be adjusted.
5) Finishing: the gel is wiped off, a soothing care is applied to finish, and aftercare guidance — including moisturizing and sun protection — is given for home care.
Depending on the area and shot count, one area takes about 30 minutes; treating several areas together can take longer. It is performed per session, and series structure is explained during consultation.
Safety and aftercare
Body LinearZ is not recommended during pregnancy or when pregnancy is possible. Treatment may be restricted if there is active infection, inflammation, or an open wound in the treatment area, or if there are metal or other implants. If you have had previous aesthetic procedures in the treatment area such as fillers or lifting threads, or a history of surgery or implant placement, please also inform the medical team before treatment; eligibility is judged after confirming the timing and location.
During treatment, stinging, warmth, aching, or a pulling sensation deep in the tissue may be felt. If pain or heat feels excessively strong, please tell the medical team immediately so the intensity can be adjusted. After treatment, temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, tenderness, or aching may occur, and in most cases these settle naturally over time. Depending on the treatment area and intensity, mild bruising or temporary changes in sensation may rarely occur.
If pain or swelling worsens or persists for a long time after treatment, if skin changes such as blisters or burns appear, or if altered sensation or discomfort persists, medical assessment is required. The medical team determines suitability and the treatment areas, energy, and number of shots after assessing your body shape and the treatment area.

Frequently asked questions
Is Body LinearZ a weight-loss treatment?
No — Body LinearZ is not for losing weight; it is care for the firmness and lines of areas that have sagged due to childbirth, weight change or aging, such as the abdomen, thighs and arms. It uses focused ultrasound to apply heat to the deeper layers, inducing tissue contraction and collagen regeneration, so it is used for firmness care of sagging areas rather than overall weight loss. Pairing it with a balanced diet and exercise may help support the results.
Is it HIFU? How is it different from other lifting treatments?
Body LinearZ uses a focused ultrasound (HIFU) device, concentrating ultrasound energy at a set depth to induce collagen contraction and regeneration through heat — a non-invasive body lifting and tightening approach. It delivers energy in two ways, Dot and Linear, with depth adjusted by the cartridge to suit each area. It uses a different energy from other methods such as radiofrequency (Thermage-type). Which method is suitable is decided through consultation based on the area and condition.
Which areas can be treated?
It can be applied to body areas where firmness has decreased or sagging is a concern after childbirth, weight change and the like — such as the abdomen, thighs and arms. The treatable areas, their priority and the shot count depend on the area condition and are decided during consultation.
How is the price set? What is a shot?
The price of Body LinearZ is set by the number of 'shots' — the amount of energy delivered in one session. Larger areas or certain conditions may need more shots, and the listed price is a starting price based on 500 shots (VAT not included). The shots needed and the area plan are decided through consultation with the doctor.
Does it hurt? Is there downtime?
A momentary prickling or warm heat may be felt as energy is delivered, and the sensation varies between individuals. If it feels uncomfortable, the output can be adjusted right away. Being non-invasive, it has essentially no downtime, so daily activities can be resumed right after; temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling or tenderness usually settles within a few days.
