Yangcheon-gu InMode,
What If You’re Worried About Both Facial Firmness and Fat?
Yangcheon-gu InMode
Hello.
I’m Kim Jinhyeon, Chief Director of You&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

“Is InMode a lifting treatment?
How is it different from other procedures?”
If you’re just getting to know InMode, terms like FORMA, FX, and radiofrequency may already sound confusing.
In fact, InMode is not just a lifting device. It is a combination energy treatment that improves the skin’s internal structure and, when needed, also reduces fat.
It also has two modes, each with different principles and indications, so the choice should be made according to your skin type and goals.
In this post, I’ll explain what InMode is, the differences between each mode, and which mode may be more suitable for your face in an easy-to-understand way.

What kind of procedure is it?
InMode is a treatment based on the principle of regenerating collagen and reducing fat to improve elasticity.
On the surface, it may seem like simple lifting, but in practice, it can be seen as a treatment that improves the skin’s structure itself.
In particular, areas with a lot of fat, such as a double chin or cheek fat, have limitations that simple exercise or dietary control cannot fully address.
In such cases, energy-based devices like InMode may be helpful.

InMode’s major advantage is that it allows precise control over the depth of energy.
Beyond simple cosmetic purposes, it can improve the facial structure itself, making it a highly satisfying treatment for those concerned about their facial line.

FX vs Forma
InMode has two modes.
They are the FX and Forma modes.
The energy used differs depending on the mode, and the way that energy acts, as well as the layer it targets, also differs.
Therefore, the choice can be made strategically according to an individual’s skin condition and desired results.

First, the FORMA mode works by continuously delivering non-contact radiofrequency energy to the epidermis and dermis.
By moving the handpiece gently as if rubbing it over the skin, heat is distributed evenly across the skin surface and the dermis.
The energy delivered at this time is generally maintained at a temperature between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius, stimulating fibroblasts deep within the skin and inducing the production of collagen and elastin.
This collagen regeneration plays a key role in improving skin elasticity.
Especially for skin in people in their 30s and older, when collagen gradually decreases due to aging, this kind of stimulation can be effective in restoring skin texture.
In addition, repeated sessions can provide a cumulative effect, with elasticity gradually improving over time.
It is highly satisfying for those who want gentle, gradual improvement rather than rapid change.
In summary, it is more suitable for people who lack firmness but do not have much fat, or for those with sensitive and thin skin.

On the other hand, the FX mode temporarily lifts the skin using vacuum suction and then directly delivers radiofrequency and high-voltage energy into the subcutaneous fat layer.
Because this process targets the deeper fat layer, it has a lipolysis effect.
By lifting the skin through suction, the energy can act more precisely on the fat layer.
As a result, it can provide delicate contour improvement for sagging areas such as a double chin or cheek fat.

Which mode is right for me?
InMode has the advantage of addressing a variety of skin conditions, but that does not mean it has the same effect for everyone.
In particular, the FX mode is most effective when applied to areas where fat is clearly present, such as a double chin.

If the lower face looks heavy or the jawline feels blunt, you may expect positive changes.
However, for people with very little facial fat, especially those with hollow cheeks or a thin facial structure, FX may not be suitable.
It may make you look more tired or older than before, and cheek hollowing can occur after the procedure, so please be careful.
Also, skin with severe acne or frequent inflammation may experience worsened breakouts due to the stimulation caused by the FX mode.
In such cases, the FORMA mode, which delivers heat more gently and improves the firmness of the skin surface, may be a better option.

Since one method does not suit all skin types, a careful consultation that considers facial fat volume, skin thickness, and sensitivity must come first.
So before the procedure, be sure to thoroughly understand your skin condition and decide on the mode after 충분히 discussing it with the medical team.
Today, I explained the information that would be helpful for those 고민ing about Yangcheon-gu InMode.
InMode is a treatment that can improve structural skin concerns while also offering lifting and fat reduction effects at the same time.
In particular, because it is divided into two modes, FORMA and FX, it can be flexibly approached according to various skin concerns.

However, which mode is more effective depends first on your skin condition and what changes you are hoping for.
Please make a careful decision after a thorough consultation before the procedure.
