Hongdae InMode,
The Effects of Forma and FX
Why They Must Be Properly Distinguished When Choosing Treatment

“I looked into getting InMode treatment
and found that there are two treatment modes!
Are their effects very different from each other?”
InMode is a lifting device that allows two treatment modes with different purposes to be used alternately with one device.
Therefore, you need to clearly understand the principles and purposes of these two modes before using them.
This allows you to continue treatment safely and appropriately for the results you want.
From now on, I will explain InMode’s two treatment modes in detail.
Reading through this slowly and considering which treatment mode may be more suitable for you can be very helpful.
Hongdae InMode: The Effects of Forma and FX
Why They Must Be Properly Distinguished When Choosing Treatment
Hongdae
What Is InMode?
InMode basically uses radiofrequency energy.
However, even when the same energy is used, the effects within the skin and the purpose of treatment vary somewhat depending on the treatment mode.
- Forma

InMode Forma mode
Forma delivers radiofrequency thermal energy evenly to the dermal layer, focusing on the production of collagen and elastin.
It may be worth considering if your skin has lost elasticity, fine lines have increased, or you want to naturally improve elasticity while enhancing skin texture.
- FX

InMode FX mode
FX uses a combination of vacuum suction and radiofrequency energy.
After suctioning the skin, it delivers radiofrequency heat relatively deeply into the fat layer, aiming to improve facial contours by reducing unnecessary fat cells.
It is commonly used when fat is the main cause of concerns such as a double chin or deep cheek fat.

Problems That May Occur
When the Treatment Modes Are Confused
If treatment is performed while confusing these two modes, you may experience unexpected side effects.
- Using only Forma when fat is the cause

You may see some improvement in skin elasticity.
However, Forma cannot adequately target the fat that causes the face to look broad and flat, so changes in facial contours or lifting may be limited.
- Using only FX when the issue is insufficient elasticity

FX can also stimulate collagen production.
However, because the energy is distributed down to the fat layer as well, you may not achieve as much improvement in elasticity as with Forma.
In addition, if this mistake is made on a face that does not have a large amount of fat, side effects such as cheek hollowing may occur, so caution is necessary.

Which Mode Is Right for Me?
What criteria can be used to determine which treatment mode is right for me?

-
When overall skin elasticity has decreased
-
When fine lines and skin texture need improvement
-
When there is not a large amount of fat
-
When you want natural improvement in elasticity
In these cases, Forma is generally more likely to be suitable.

-
However, when a double chin or deep cheek fat is a concern
-
When facial fat makes the contours look less defined
-
When you want to manage localized fat and improve the facial line
In these cases, focusing on FX treatment may be a more appropriate choice.

The Various Functions of Hongdae InMode
However, please also remember that you do not necessarily have to choose only one mode.
In practice, combination treatment is often performed by first reducing unnecessary fat with FX and then using Forma to also stimulate collagen production.
If the energy settings are properly adjusted to your skin type, receiving both modes together can induce results safely without placing too much burden on you.
