InMode RF lifting that addresses fat pockets and laxity together

InMode is a lifting treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to manage small facial fat deposits and lax skin together. The FX handpiece delivers heat deep into the tissue to address unwanted fat, while the Forma handpiece delivers heat to the dermis to reinforce firmness. In a single session, the two handpieces are allocated by area.

At consultation we first determine whether the sagging is due to fat or to loss of firmness, then allocate accordingly. FX is mainly used on areas where fat has accumulated, such as a double chin or jowls, and Forma on areas where skin firmness has decreased. Where both causes overlap, the two are sometimes used together.

We consider it for those concerned about small facial fat deposits such as a double chin or jowls, or whose contour has blurred from combined fat and sagging. For sagging with little fat, results may be limited, which is why consultation matters. It is not recommended if you have an implanted electronic medical device, have metal implants, infection, or wounds in the treatment area, or are pregnant.

Pain is low to moderate, mostly a heat sensation, and how much you feel differs by individual. Treatment proceeds after topical numbing cream and takes about 20-40 minutes depending on the area.

It varies, but it typically settles within 2-3 days. During this period, you may have swelling along with tenderness to the touch. You can go about daily life right after treatment.

A typical course is 3-5 sessions at 2-4 week intervals. Change becomes clearer when sessions are continued rather than after 1 session, and the number and interval are adjusted according to your skin's response.

It is a cumulative treatment in which changes in small fat deposits and contour appear gradually as sessions accumulate. After completing a course, we evaluate your progress to decide on maintenance or booster sessions, and the degree of change and how long it lasts vary by individual.

Ultherapy uses ultrasound to lift the SMAS layer, while InMode uses radiofrequency to address small fat deposits and firmness. When fat is involved, as with a double chin, InMode is considered first, and if SMAS-layer sagging is also present, the two are sometimes combined.

Yes, depending on the cause of your concern, they are sometimes planned together. If there is a lot of fat under the chin we consider V-OLET, which addresses fat by injection, and if a muscle-related cause is also present, Botox. The order and interval of treatments are decided after consultation.

You go home after soothing care once the heat sensation has settled, and for a few days, avoid strong heat such as saunas, jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), and heavy drinking. We recommend moisturizing well and applying sunscreen daily. If swelling or pain worsens, please contact the clinic.

The cost depends on the treatment area and session plan, so it is confirmed after consultation. Reference prices can be found on the price list on our website, and booking is available via Naver Booking, our KakaoTalk channel, or phone (+82-51-710-1891); consultations are also available via LINE.
