Mokdong InMode Effect Duration and Cheek Hollowing?
A Complete Summary
Mokdong InMode
Hello.
I am Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of You&I Clinic Mokdong branch.

"I heard InMode causes cheek hollowing. Is that true?"
"I don’t know how long the effects last."
These are the two questions people most often ask when looking into InMode.
They are concerned about when the effects appear, how long they last, and whether their cheeks might become sunken.
Especially these days, as interest in V-line and jawline contouring has grown, more and more people are considering InMode.
But once you actually decide on the procedure, you may feel confused by the many different reviews out there.
Today, I’ll honestly organize everything for you, from how long InMode’s effects last to the truth about cheek hollowing,
and even how to receive the procedure while reducing your concerns.

When do the effects appear,
and how long do they last?
InMode is a procedure that delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin to reduce unnecessary fat while also improving skin elasticity. (Fat reduction-focused - InMode FX mode / Elasticity improvement-focused - InMode FORMA)
In simple terms, it means you can expect contouring and lifting at the same time.
InMode FX
Many people feel that their jawline looks more refined even immediately after the procedure. But the real effect takes a little time to appear.
Usually, you begin to notice gradual changes after about 2 to 4 weeks.
That is because collagen in the skin slowly regenerates in response to the radiofrequency stimulation.
Rather than an instant magical change, it is better understood as a naturally building improvement in firmness.

Then how long does this effect last? On average, you can expect it to be maintained for about 3 to 6 months.
Of course, this can vary depending on each person’s skin elasticity, amount of fat, and lifestyle habits.
That is why InMode is often more satisfying when received 2 to 3 times or more, rather than as a one-time treatment.
It is better to think of it as ongoing management rather than trying to achieve everything in one session.

Does InMode cause cheek hollowing?
For people looking into InMode, especially the FX mode with its more noticeable fat-reduction effect, the biggest concern is cheek hollowing.
To be clear, cheek hollowing does not occur in everyone. However, there are some cases where caution is needed.

If you naturally have little facial fat, or if the area below the cheekbones already appears slightly sunken, you should be careful.
The same applies if you have a more angular facial contour.
If FX mode is applied too strongly in such cases, the area below the cheekbones may look more hollow.

Ultimately, what matters is not doing the procedure as strongly or as much as possible, but adjusting the energy to suit your face shape.
Please remember that even with the same InMode treatment, it can create a sharper contour for one person and be counterproductive for another.

How can you get InMode while reducing cheek hollowing?
To reduce concern about cheek hollowing, the strategy should change from the pre-treatment stage.
First, it is important to accurately understand your own facial fat distribution.
The treatment area is set mainly around the jawline or double chin, while the area below the cheekbones is minimized in energy or excluded altogether.
InMode FORMA
Also, rather than using FX mode alone, you can combine it with FORMA mode.
If you do not focus only on fat reduction and instead combine it with lifting centered on skin elasticity, you can expect a much more natural result.
A skin diagnostic imaging device, Mark-Vu, helps with accurate diagnosis. ^^
And above all, it is important not to get greedy in a single session. A series of gentle treatments is much safer than one strong treatment.
When used well, InMode is a procedure that can achieve both a more defined contour and improved elasticity.
However, for those with less facial fat, a thorough pre-treatment diagnosis and design must come first for the result to be satisfying.
So far, I have explained the effect duration and cheek hollowing concerns for those looking into Mokdong InMode.
To summarize, InMode effects begin to appear in earnest after 2 to 4 weeks and are maintained for an average of 3 to 6 months.
Cheek hollowing does not happen to everyone, but if you have little facial fat or a sunken area below the cheekbones, energy adjustment is essential.
I would like to emphasize that any procedure must be designed to match your own facial characteristics in order to achieve results without regret, and I will end here.
