Is InMode in Hongdae Really Effective? Why It Varies from Person to Person

Is InMode in Hongdae really effective?

Why it varies from person to person

"Does InMode really work?

Does your face actually feel tighter after the procedure?

Can you see a difference after just one session?"

These are some of the most common questions I hear during InMode consultations.

Especially among people who have trouble losing facial fat or are concerned about a double chin and sagging cheeks.

When the jawline becomes less defined, the face can also look larger in photos.

Today, I’ll explain in simple terms the reasons why the “real effect” of Hongdae InMode can differ, based on what I’ve seen in actual practice.

The principles of InMode

InMode is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate both the dermis and the subcutaneous fat layer at the same time.

In simple terms, it gently warms the deeper layers of the skin to help them regain firmness on their own.

As we age, collagen decreases, skin loses elasticity, and the cheeks begin to sag downward.

InMode delivers heat to the inner layers to encourage new collagen production and tighten the protein structure that has already become stretched.

This process is the core of the lifting effect.

There are two modes used in the procedure.

Mini FX is a mode that helps organize areas with more fat, such as facial fat or a double chin.

It uses gentle suction while delivering heat of around 40 degrees Celsius to help break down fat cells.

Forma, on the other hand, gently warms the dermis closer to the skin’s surface to smooth skin texture and reduce fine lines.

When these two modes are used together, you get a “dual effect” in which fat is reduced below while the skin becomes firmer above.

That is why InMode is not simply about pulling the face tighter, but about naturally improving the overall structure of the face.

Why the effect differs from person to person

“My friend said it worked well, but I didn’t see much difference.”

I hear this very often too.

But even if the same device is used, the results cannot be the same for everyone.

That’s because skin thickness, fat distribution, and elasticity are all different from person to person.

If the skin is thin and Mini FX is used too strongly, the cheeks may look sunken. On the other hand, if there is a lot of fat but the intensity is too weak, the change may be minimal.

That is why I adjust the ratio of Mini FX and Forma differently after looking at facial fat distribution, elasticity, and skin texture.

For example, for someone whose jawline has become less defined, I focus on contouring with Mini FX. For someone with many fine lines and thin skin, I focus on improving firmness with Forma.

When the modes are carefully designed to match the skin structure, the results look much more natural and the facial expression also remains soft and balanced.

Also, InMode is a procedure whose effects appear gradually, starting about 2 to 4 weeks after treatment rather than immediately afterward.

That’s because the dermis, stimulated by heat, produces collagen, and as the skin becomes firmer, the facial contours gradually become more defined.

The treatment interval for InMode also varies somewhat depending on the purpose.

If the goal is to reduce fat, as with Mini FX, it is effective to receive treatment at 3- to 4-week intervals for at least 3 sessions.

It is more natural and safer to reduce fat cells gradually rather than trying to eliminate them all at once.

On the other hand, if the goal is improving elasticity, as with Forma, it is better to have one session every 1 to 2 months, or to do 2 to 3 initial intensive sessions followed by maintenance sessions every 2 to 3 months.

You need to consider the time required for collagen to form and stabilize.

Care after the procedure

After InMode treatment, aftercare is very important.

The most common mistake is applying cold compresses.

This procedure works by using heat to stimulate collagen production, so if you cool it down, that response will stop.

Instead, wash your face with lukewarm water and keep the skin comfortable with enough moisturizing.

Also, sun protection is essential.

Ultraviolet rays can damage collagen and weaken the lifting effect.

And drinking enough water and getting sufficient sleep help the recovery process go faster.

Lastly, choosing the practitioner is very important.

Even when the same InMode device is used, the results clearly differ between a clinic where the doctor personally checks the skin condition and carefully customizes the settings and one where that is not done.

If you want to get InMode in Hongdae effectively, be sure to remember these three things.

First, it is important to design the mode based on your own skin structure.

Second, Mini FX for fat reduction and Forma for elasticity improvement should be used together for balanced results.

Third, avoid cold compresses after the procedure and continue moisturizing and sun protection consistently.

The effect of InMode is about helping the skin regain firmness on its own instead of pulling too hard, so that the results last naturally.

In the end, it is completed through “careful diagnosis” and “consistent management.”

If you manage it steadily, you’ll be able to see your jawline becoming more defined in the mirror.
