I Lost Weight, So Why Is the Cellulite Still There?

<Why InMode BodyFX Is Needed>

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of UNNI Clinic Mokdong Branch.

“Why does my skin still look bumpy

even though I worked so hard on my diet?”

“My weight went down, but the cellulite

feels even more noticeable.”

Have you ever had these concerns

after losing weight?

Many people lose weight, but their lines still look bulky and the skin surface is not smooth, which makes them sigh in front of the mirror.

In particular, cellulite is not something that can be solved simply by losing weight, so a deeper approach is needed.

The problem is that cellulite itself is a structural issue in the fat tissue beneath the deep dermis,

so it is difficult to resolve with simple exercise or massage.

Even when you lose weight, cellulite can sometimes look more pronounced.

That is why today I’d like to explain

InMode BodyFX, a radiofrequency and high-voltage body solution that

“directly removes fat cells while also improving skin irregularities.”

1. InMode FX, which directly targets the main cause of cellulite

As mentioned earlier, cellulite is not caused simply by having too much fat.

At this time, the InMode BodyFX treatment combines radiofrequency energy and vacuum suction to act on both cellulite and the fat layer.

Inside the handpiece are two RF electrodes, a suction chamber, and a temperature sensor.

This device gently suctions the skin, then delivers radiofrequency and high-voltage energy to the subcutaneous fat layer.

At this point, radiofrequency reduces the volume of fat cells and contracts collagen, inducing temporary tightening,

while the high-voltage pulses destroy the fat cell membrane and kill the fat cells themselves.

In other words, it creates not only visible effects but also long-term results by eliminating fat cells.

It also measures the skin surface temperature in real time during the procedure,

and when the set temperature (43°C) is reached,

the energy is automatically cut off to prevent overheating.

2. How many sessions are needed?

InMode Body FX is not the kind of treatment that works like ordinary dieting, where you lose weight and then gain it back again.

Because it includes the principle of high-voltage electroporation that removes fat cells themselves,

the biggest advantage is that it can lead to long-term body shape improvement.

Reduction and Cellulite Improvement

According to a clinical paper, 4 - 8 sessions at one-week intervals are recommended,

after which maintenance treatment once every 3 - 6 months can be used for ongoing care.

Also, even one session alone can provide temporary improvement in firmness and skin texture,

and with consistent treatment, results have been reported in which the cellulite grade actually decreased by 1 - 2 levels.

Looking at the actual BodyFX cases presented in the paper,

improvement in cellulite on the back of the thighs can be observed.

Also, although this is a bit off the topic of this article,

it can be seen that InMode FX treatment is also effective for a double chin.

(For reference, even among clinics that have InMode,

some can perform body treatments and some do not,

so please check in advance.)

3. Why customized application matters

“Since it works by pinching the fat and treating it, won’t there be side effects?” is still a common concern.

In fact, there are cases where bruising occurs or the face becomes excessively hollowed out, leading to dissatisfaction.

That is why InMode FX absolutely requires customized application that takes into account skin thickness, the distribution of the fat layer, and the overall contours of the face or body.

The same energy can be too much for one person and not enough for another.

This is actually true for other treatments as well. In the end, the issue is not the device itself,

but how the treatment is designed and adjusted.

For cellulite and firmness issues that cannot be resolved with simple dieting or exercise alone,

it is now time to approach them with scientific InMode FX.

I hope this article was helpful for those with similar concerns,

and I’ll end here.

Thank you for reading this long post.
