Mokdong InMode: Here’s What You Need to Know Before Getting It

Mokdong InMode

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, head doctor at UI Clinic Mokdong Branch.

"I want a lifting treatment, and I heard InMode is good."

These days, more and more people are looking for InMode as a facial lifting treatment.

Since there are many kinds of lifting procedures, it is a good idea to know which skin types each procedure is effective for before getting one.

In this post, for those considering InMode, I will organize the mechanism of action and precautions you should know before deciding on the procedure.

Mokdong InMode What is the mechanism?

“InMode” is a medical device procedure that delivers high-frequency (RF) energy or high-voltage energy deep into the skin depending on the mode, removing unnecessary fat while also improving elasticity.

It is not simply about smoothing the surface; it focuses on improving the structure of the skin itself.

It reactivates loosened collagen and elastic fibers within the skin and reduces unnecessary fat, helping to refine the overall facial contour.

InMode treatment is performed in two modes depending on the depth and condition of the skin.

Because each mode uses a different type of energy and acts on different skin layers, it is important to combine them appropriately according to the treatment goal.

First, the FORMA mode uses only radiofrequency energy.

It delivers heat evenly from the epidermis to the middle layer of the dermis, improving skin texture and inducing collagen production to help strengthen overall elasticity.

It can be performed relatively comfortably even for people with sensitive or thin skin, and it is suitable for improving fine lines, pores, and skin texture.

On the other hand, the FX mode adds high-voltage energy to radiofrequency energy, delivering a stronger thermal stimulus to deeper layers.

In particular, it works intensively on the deep dermis and the subcutaneous fat layer, making it effective at contracting weakened fibrous tissue and destroying fat cells.

During this process, sagging skin tissue is tightened, and fat cells that are vulnerable to heat are damaged and then naturally eliminated through the body’s metabolism.

That is why the FX mode is mainly used in areas where fat accumulates, such as the cheeks and double chin, and it can provide both lifting and volume-reduction effects.

The two modes can be used separately, but depending on the skin condition, they can also be combined to create a synergistic lifting effect that cares for both the surface and deeper layers.

Mokdong InMode How long does it last, and how many sessions are needed?

Many people ask how long the effect lasts and whether one session is enough.

The lifting effect becomes more noticeable gradually over time rather than immediately after the procedure.

In general, after about 2 to 4 weeks, you may experience improved elasticity and reduced fat, making facial contours more defined.

And the effect can last from about 6 months up to 1 year.

However, there are individual differences depending on age, skin condition, genetic factors, daily lifestyle habits, amount of sun exposure, and the level of skin care.

Also, although InMode can create some change in the skin with just one treatment, repeated sessions are needed for a more noticeable and longer-lasting effect.

Just as taking a supplement once does not change your constitution, InMode is a treatment whose true value appears as collagen regeneration accumulates.

Therefore, it is generally recommended to receive three or more sessions at regular intervals.

However, more is not always better, and it is important to adjust the appropriate number of sessions and intervals according to your individual skin condition and goals.

Mokdong InMode Precautions after the procedure

After the procedure, slight swelling, warmth, redness, and mild stinging may appear temporarily.

These are reactions caused by the heat from radiofrequency, and most usually disappear within a short time.

In rare cases, there may be changes in sensation or bruising at the treatment area, but these will naturally recover over time.

However, if these symptoms last for a long time or are very uncomfortable, it is best to visit the clinic, tell the medical staff, and receive appropriate care.

Also, because the skin becomes more sensitive on the day of the procedure, it is best to avoid saunas, strenuous exercise, and sun exposure, and soothing care and hydration can help recovery.

Today, I talked about what people considering Mokdong InMode should know.

Many people are interested in lifting procedures, but they come in without really knowing what condition their skin is actually in or what issues it has.

Before deciding on a specific procedure, it is important first to understand the cause—whether your skin has lost elasticity, whether your cheeks are heavy with excess volume, or whether your skin has become thinner and developed wrinkles.

Before deciding on a procedure, remember that you can truly experience results only after going through a thorough consultation with the medical staff and a comprehensive analysis of skin elasticity, fat layers, skin thickness, and wrinkle depth.
