Because InMode FX treatment intervals need to be followed

If unnecessary fat accumulates, you can end up in many uncomfortable situations.

As your weight increases, various warning signs for your health may turn on, and aesthetically, you may also face a number of bothersome situations. The problem is that unnecessary fat does not necessarily build up only in the body.

It can also accumulate on the face, and when that happens, the overall contour changes. It often creates concerns such as sagging cheeks from buccal fat or a thick-looking double chin under the jaw.

However, buccal fat or a double chin is not necessarily caused by weight gain. As you age, muscles and fat cells loosen, and as the skin gradually sags, the cheeks and jawline droop, making them appear as buccal fat or a double chin.

If weight gain is the cause, the goal is to reduce body fat; if aging is the cause, the goal is to improve firmness in order to address the concern. Whatever the cause, it can be improved if you consistently receive treatment according to the InMode FX treatment interval.

You need to distinguish between them

When receiving treatment with the InMode FX treatment interval in mind, it is most important to know the exact names.

In particular, with InMode, the same device is based on the same system, but it is divided into two types, Forma and mini Fx, and it is possible to receive them together or separately. Since the two have different principles and application ranges, it is recommended to look into the information for each type separately.

First, Forma delivers radiofrequency thermal energy evenly to the dermis, promoting collagen production and generally improving skin texture and fine wrinkles.

miniFx uses bipolar radiofrequency. After suction lifts the skin, the radiofrequency is delivered more deeply. As a result, deep heat of 45–47°C reaches the subcutaneous fat layer, and as fat cells are destroyed, concerns such as buccal fat and a double chin are reduced.

In summary, each plays a role in removing unnecessary fat and lifting. You do not need to look into them separately, and in most cases, you can receive them at a clinic equipped with the device.

Using the two together

Those who are looking into the InMode FX treatment interval may probably prefer receiving only one type, excluding Forma, from among the two.

However, if you are already getting the procedure, it is better to receive both types if possible. That is because the line is refined more neatly only after lifting follows fat reduction.

Our skin is divided into several layers. The deepest layer is the subcutaneous fat layer, followed by the dermis and the epidermis. When fat cells in the subcutaneous fat layer are destroyed, the elasticity of the outer dermis decreases.

At this time, if you also receive Forma, which delivers radiofrequency thermal energy to the dermis, the contour can settle more stably. As collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid responsible for elasticity are generated overall, anti-aging results can be achieved.

Of course, it does not have to be done all at once, and it is also possible to receive it sequentially. It is also a good option to focus first on fat reduction and then later focus on lifting.

Duration and number of sessions

Now I will explain the InMode FX treatment interval. Since almost no one intends to receive it just once and stop, many people ask, when they visit, how far apart they should repeat it. It is difficult to give a definitive answer right away.

This is because skin type and response differ from person to person, and due to the nature of the device, bruising can occur as suction is applied. Even if bruising occurs, how long it lasts and how long skin regeneration and recovery take vary from person to person, so it is more desirable to decide the interval with these points in mind.

However, on average, it is often received once every 3 to 4 weeks, or up to once a month. Also, it does not have to be continued this way forever; after receiving it about three times at monthly intervals and seeing some changes, it is also good to extend the interval afterward.

The reason three sessions are recommended is that the changes that occur after treatment are finite. You need to receive it at least three times to maintain the V-line for a longer period.

If you are receiving it together with Forma, this may also differ, and it is recommended to receive it after a more relaxed 4 to 5 weeks.

If you are worried about bruising

Those who are considering the InMode FX treatment interval may also worry about bruising. As mentioned briefly earlier, because energy must be delivered to the deeper subcutaneous fat layer, suction through the device is used. Bruising may remain on the skin due to the stimulation delivered during the process of strongly suctioning the fat.

Usually, since it is aimed at a wide area to improve a double chin or buccal fat, the bruising may appear more severe. However, bruising itself is not a serious side effect. You can be reassured because it will fade over time without any separate intervention.

Temporary bruising typically lasts 5 to 7 days, but it does not necessarily disappear only after that period.

Dark bruising, redness, and swelling usually recover and disappear within 2 to 3 days, while faint bruising and mild swelling may remain longer, so it does not place major restrictions on daily life.

Not too often

You may be curious about what problems arise when the InMode FX treatment interval is not followed. If you understand why the recommended interval exists, this question can be easily answered.

Many lasers, including InMode, do not interfere with daily life and do not require bleeding or incision, but that does not mean there is no stimulation at all.

InMode delivers radiofrequency or thermal energy, providing appropriate stimulation, and through this, responses such as lifting and fat cell destruction occur.

Therefore, if the skin is already in a sensitive state and you continue to apply stimulation without giving it enough time to recover, it may trigger inflammation or damage the tissue and create other side effects.

So it is best to talk with the medical staff and receive it at the proper interval whenever possible.

Likewise, please remember that when combining other procedures or adding additional care, you should also make decisions after discussing them with the medical staff.
