"I’m curious about what kind of body treatment Mokdong InMode is."

"I’m concerned about excess fat that remains in certain areas

even after adjusting my diet."

Even when they make an effort to lose weight, many people express concern that excess fat remains in particularly stubborn areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or upper arms.

Even with consistent, diligent exercise, unwanted areas may change slowly, which can feel frustrating.

Recently, more people have been interested in noninvasive body care that helps refine body contours and prevent loss of firmness while reducing the burden associated with surgery.

Today, we will take a detailed look at why fat does not decrease easily in certain areas and how InMode can address fat and firmness at the same time.

Why does excess fat remain?

Weight loss works on the principle that the body burns fat when the energy it expends exceeds the amount it takes in.

During this process, triglycerides within the cells are broken down and the cells become smaller, resulting in an overall reduction in body weight.

The weight-loss process

However, typical weight-loss methods have the characteristic of temporarily reducing only the size of the cells, without reducing the actual number of cells themselves.

Therefore, if management becomes lax, fat may accumulate again and the body may return to its previous state.

To regulate the number of cells themselves, a method is needed that delivers physical stimulation from outside and causes the cells to respond directly.

However, the thickness and distribution of fat vary from person to person. Therefore, rather than simply following a set number of sessions, it is important to check your current condition and adjust the plan accordingly.

Why is it difficult to manage specific areas?

The characteristics of the fat layer differ depending on the area of the body.

Areas that are particularly difficult to refine, such as the abdomen and around the hips, have a relatively high distribution of receptors that inhibit the fat-breakdown process.

As a result, even when the entire body is treated, the areas of concern may not decrease and can remain largely unchanged.

In addition, if volume decreases rapidly, internal support may weaken, which can be accompanied by sagging skin.

As the dermal layer’s firming substances decrease with age, it is necessary to consider not only fat reduction but also skin firmness in order to achieve more balanced contours.

Because skin firmness and texture vary from person to person, it is important to determine whether fat reduction and improvement in firmness can be considered together.

How can fat and firmness be addressed together?

Devices such as Body InMode take into account the thickness of fat and the condition of the skin in each area and approach them in two ways.

First, negative pressure brings the skin layers into close contact, after which radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers to induce a thermal response.

Explanation of InMode at U&I Clinic Mokdong

Next, a momentary high-voltage electrical energy (HVP) is applied to induce changes in the fat-cell membranes, with fat reduction then anticipated through the body’s metabolic processes.

Rather than simply reducing cell size, this approach may also be used to refine localized areas that have been difficult to reduce by inducing changes at the level of the number of cells.

The thermal stimulation delivered at this time contracts internal elastic fibers and, over the long term, helps reactivate components of the dermis, supporting the maintenance of more refined contours.

Although this is a noninvasive method with relatively little burden associated with returning to daily activities, differences in the thickness and distribution of each person’s subcutaneous tissue make it important to develop a plan after a precise diagnosis.

Today, I explained the essential information for those searching for information about Mokdong InMode.

Body InMode uses radiofrequency and high-voltage electrical energy to address fat and firmness together, but results may vary depending on the thickness and condition of the skin.

To improve satisfaction, we recommend finding the approach that suits you based on a thorough diagnosis before the procedure.
