Why You Shouldn’t Take a Cold Shower After InMode

"I heard you shouldn’t take a cold shower after getting InMode,

and I’m wondering why that is..."

When talking about precautions after InMode, there is one point that always comes up.

That is, you should avoid washing your face or showering with cold water. In addition, you should also avoid exposure to cold environments as much as possible.

The common factor is that both situations can cause the skin to cool down rapidly.

So today, while looking at the principles and effects of InMode, we’ll take a closer look at why you should avoid cold showers or exposure to cold environments after the procedure.

The Principles and Effects of InMode

InMode is a lifting procedure that uses radiofrequency energy and high-voltage electrical stimulation (HVP).

During the procedure, the energy passes through the skin surface and acts directly on the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer beneath the skin.

As the temperature inside the skin rises to around 43°C, the effects occur from this heat.

When energy is directed to the dermis, the FORMA mode is used, and when energy is directed to the subcutaneous fat layer, the FX mode is used.

In the case of FORMA mode, the energy is evenly distributed throughout the entire dermis, shrinking the existing old(?) collagen fibers with heat.

Then, as the heat-stimulated tissues in the skin go through the rebuilding process, new collagen is produced and firmness is restored.

In the case of FX mode, energy is delivered while the skin is gently suctioned by vacuum, concentrating the energy in the subcutaneous fat layer and destroying fat cells.

The destroyed fat cells are then slowly and naturally removed from the body by immune cells (macrophages).

Why Maintaining Heat After InMode Is Important

Now let’s look at why you are advised not to take a cold shower or be exposed to a cold environment after InMode.

What we’re discussing here can be considered generally applicable to most radiofrequency procedures, including InMode.

The key to radiofrequency lifting is exposing the skin’s interior to heat for a sufficient amount of time at a temperature of about 42–45 degrees.

This applies not only during the procedure. It is also good to pay attention to maintaining heat after the procedure.

If the temperature that had risen sufficiently during the procedure drops abruptly, the effects that had already begun may weaken.

That said, it does not mean you have to stay home and not go out after getting InMode in winter. You just need to manage it within common-sense limits.

For example, it is enough to avoid situations where cold wind is continuously hitting your face directly.

Post-Procedure Care

So I’ve also summarized how you can take care of yourself.

First, when washing your face or showering, lightly check the water temperature and keep it lukewarm.

If you need to go out on a cold day, wrapping a scarf higher around your neck or wearing a mask to lightly protect your face is also a good care method.

On the other hand, even though maintaining heat is important, that does not mean you should freely do activities that generate excessive heat.

Environments that cause excessive heat, such as saunas, jjimjilbangs, and hot baths, can instead trigger an inflammatory response, so it is better to avoid them.

Today, for those considering InMode treatment at Seokchon-dong Dermatology (Department: Dermatology), we took time to cover the principles and effects, as well as why maintaining heat after the procedure is important.

Since post-treatment care is just as important as the procedure itself, I hope you receive InMode at a place that carefully explains these points in detail, and I’ll wrap up here.
