Inmode and Shrink Lift Treatment Intervals: How Should You Time Them?





'I'm thinking of trying Inmode and Shrink together because I heard it works well.

But I don't really know what interval or schedule I should follow...'

There are many comments saying that getting Inmode and Shrink together can be effective, but there is not much widely known information about how many sessions to receive and at what interval.

To keep the skin from being overstrained, it's important to set an appropriate interval well so that you can increase the effect while reducing concerns about side effects.

So today, let's look at the principles and effects of Inmode and Shrink, and also what the appropriate interval would be if you use both together.

Of course, skin condition differs from person to person, so the content of this post will not apply equally to everyone; please treat it as a guideline.

Inmode and Shrink Treatment Intervals Principles and Effects of Inmode

Inmode is a lifting procedure that uses radiofrequency energy. It has two modes, each specialized for fat reduction (FX mode) or surface elasticity (FORMA mode).

First, FX mode works by gently pinching and lifting the skin through vacuum suction, then delivering radiofrequency and high-voltage pulse (HVP) energy to the fat layer.

During that process, the cell membrane of fat cells inside the skin is damaged by heat and destroyed.

The destroyed fat cells are then gradually and naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system over 2-4 weeks.

Temporary bruising may occur during the vacuum suction process at the time of treatment, but this is more of a temporary phenomenon than a side effect. In most cases, it disappears within a week.

Meanwhile, FORMA mode works by slowly rubbing the skin surface like a massage while delivering thermal energy to the dermis.

This keeps the skin temperature warm at around 43b0C and promotes the regeneration of collagen and elastin in the dermis, helping to induce a tightening effect.

Inmode and Shrink Treatment Intervals Principles and Effects of Shrink

Shrink Universe

Shrink uses a technology called high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which concentrates ultrasound energy at one point deep in the skin, like focusing sunlight with a convex lens.

It creates thermal coagulation points in the SMAS layer, and as the surrounding tissue around those coagulation points contracts, a certain tightening effect occurs. After that, new collagen is formed as the damaged tissue is rebuilt.

So you may notice some change right away, but the real effect becomes more noticeable gradually over 1 to 3 months.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that for people who do not have much fat in the face, the ultrasound energy may be delivered too deeply and affect the subcutaneous fat layer, so those with thin skin or a lean face may need adjustments to the treatment intensity and number of shots.

Inmode and Shrink Treatment Intervals Recommended Interval When Receiving Both Together

In principle, Inmode and Shrink can be received together because they differ in treatment depth and mechanism.

For example, areas with a lot of fat, such as a double chin or deep cheek fat, can be treated with Inmode to reduce fullness, while overall sagging skin can be lifted from the deeper layers with Shrink.

Then you may also wonder how to space the treatments if you receive them together. Let's take a look at that.

For Inmode FX, many people receive about 3 sessions for fat reduction. For FORMA, many receive it periodically for the purpose of maintaining elasticity.

Shrink is a procedure that stimulates the deep fascial layer and induces collagen regeneration, so if you receive it too often, it can burden the skin.

Therefore, for Inmode, it is recommended to receive about 3 intensive sessions at one-month intervals at first, and then once every 3 to 6 months afterward.

For Shrink, it is recommended to receive it once every 3 to 6 months, but if the number of shots is very small (within 100 shots), the interval may be slightly shorter.

However, this is not an absolute formula.

Sometimes there are people who want to follow the 'standard interval' they found online exactly, but that can be risky.

The best approach is to adjust the plan for the 2nd and 3rd sessions after seeing how the skin responds after the first treatment.

If the effect appears faster than expected, you can lengthen the interval; conversely, if the response seems slow, you can shorten the interval or adjust the intensity.

Today, we looked at the principles and effects of Inmode and Shrink, and also the recommended Inmode and Shrink treatment intervals when receiving them together.

Many people focus only on numbers like 'how many sessions' and 'how many weeks apart,' but in fact, it is much more important to observe how the skin responds after each treatment.

You need to adjust the interval while checking what changes occurred after the first session and whether there are any discomforts so that the process can continue in the desired direction.

So before the first treatment, we recommend getting an accurate diagnosis of your current skin condition through a thorough consultation, and receiving treatment at a place where the intensity or interval of later sessions is adjusted after observing the skin's response for a certain period after the first session.
