First Advantage: Honest and Accurate Energy Delivery Through Quantitative FX & FORMA Treatments

The FX (fat reduction) and FORMA (collagen lifting) modes of the InMode device have a predetermined maximum output. Therefore, it is important to ensure sufficient treatment time and energy to achieve the desired results.

We adhere to the device standards, performing FX mode treatments for a minimum of 6 minutes and FORMA mode treatments with an energy value of 10K or more.

To ensure accurate energy delivery, we adhere to the recommended treatment times and prioritize quantitative treatment.

For safe and meticulous treatments, all procedures are personally conducted by our medical staff. This can help enhance treatment satisfaction.

Second Advantage: Our Medical Staff's Skilled Method for Quickly Reaching Effective Temperatures During FX Treatments

For FX treatments to effectively break down fat cells, the temperature of the treated area must be raised above a certain threshold.

Our medical staff focuses on rapidly raising and maintaining the temperature of the treated area while minimizing discomfort.

To achieve this, we meticulously adjust various factors during treatment, including power settings, suction pressure control, device movement speed, order of treatment areas, and skin response.

- We focus on supplying energy at maximum output to raise the temperature of the treated area more quickly.

- We apply longer pulse durations. This extends the duration of a single radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery, facilitating smooth energy transfer through the tip and contributing to temperature increase.

- In addition to the InMode device's own real-time temperature monitoring, our medical staff directly checks the temperature of the treated area with the back of their hand. This can help reduce discomfort.

- We meticulously adjust the device's movement speed for each treatment area. Initially, the treatment is performed to distribute heat evenly across the entire skin, and then the temperature is focused on areas of concern or those with more fat. This is done while considering both pain relief and treatment efficiency.

Third Advantage: Thorough Design for Treatment – Meticulous Adjustments to Alleviate Concerns About Volume Loss

Since FX treatment works by reducing fat, it is crucial to carefully design the facial contours before the procedure.

Aggressive treatment can lead to unwanted volume loss in certain areas. Therefore, we meticulously discuss and design the treatment with our medical staff, focusing on areas requiring asymmetry correction or those of particular concern to you.

We meticulously analyze each individual's face shape and fat distribution to create a treatment plan that ensures harmonious and natural improvement.

Fourth Advantage: Post-Treatment Quantity Verification – Transparent Treatment Process Guidance

Upon completion of the treatment, we will directly show you whether the actual treatment time and energy delivered met the predetermined standards. This is to provide a transparent and trustworthy treatment process.

Understanding InMode Treatments Performed at Our Clinic

*Generally, radiofrequency (RF) lifting devices are divided into two main types.

1. Monopolar Method

This method generates radiofrequency energy from a single electrode and then reclaims the energy through a grounding pad attached to the body.

As a result, energy is delivered to deep skin tissues, leading to a strong deep heat effect, but some sensation or discomfort may be felt during the treatment.

2. Bipolar Method

The bipolar method involves radiofrequency energy flowing between two electrodes, primarily concentrating energy in the superficial skin and dermal layers.

While this method has the advantage of relatively less discomfort, it is generally difficult to deliver energy to deeper fat layers.

*How can InMode FX work on the fat layer despite being a bipolar method?

As explained earlier, the bipolar method generally finds it difficult to deliver energy deeply into the fat layer.

However, InMode FX possesses a unique structure that allows it to effectively target the fat layer despite being a bipolar method.

The key to this difference lies in its vacuum suction function.

InMode FX gently suctions the skin of the treatment area, positioning the skin and subcutaneous fat layer stably between the two electrodes.

Because radiofrequency energy is delivered in this state, thermal energy can efficiently penetrate even deeper into the fat layer, despite it being a bipolar method.

When treated in this manner, temperatures of approximately 42-45 degrees Celsius can be delivered to fat cells, inducing damage.

Damaged fat cells can be naturally expelled from the body through the lymphatic system. Additionally, collagen production in the dermal layer is activated during this process.

As a result, you can expect both fat reduction and improved skin elasticity.

*Expected Effects of InMode FX Treatment

1. Fat Reduction and Breakdown Effect

When consistent heat of 42-45 degrees Celsius or higher is delivered to the treatment area for at least 6 minutes, the fat cell membranes can show changes due to heat damage.

The contents of these damaged fat cells can then be gradually and naturally expelled from the body through the lymphatic system.

Focusing on fat reduction, it can be considered for areas with significant fat accumulation, such as jowls on the face or a double chin.

2. Inducing Collagen Production

As fat is broken down, heat is delivered to the dermal layer, activating fibroblasts. This is expected to stimulate new collagen production.

It also induces the contraction of existing collagen, which can help improve sagging.

*Role of InMode FORMA

FORMA is a radiofrequency treatment method that focuses on the relatively shallow dermal layer of the skin rather than the deeper fat layer.

It glides smoothly over the skin surface, delivering thermal energy of approximately 42-43 degrees Celsius.

This temperature stimulates fibroblasts, which can help improve issues such as fine lines, enlarged pores, and loss of elasticity.

One of FORMA's key features is its real-time temperature feedback system, which ensures stable temperature maintenance throughout the treatment.

This process helps stimulate collagen production through stable heat delivery, without causing excessive thermal damage to the skin.

Immediately after treatment, you may feel a tightening sensation in the skin, followed by gradual collagen production over 2 to 6 weeks.

*FX and FORMA: Which areas are suitable for treatment?

Sagging or excess fat in various areas of the face can be caused by several factors.

-Double Chin Improvement

A double chin often results from excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat under the chin or a decrease in elasticity of the platysma muscle.

FX concentrates radiofrequency heat on the fat layer of the double chin area, helping to break down fat cells and induce collagen production, which can improve skin elasticity under the chin.

If your skin is thin and exhibits significant loss of elasticity, FORMA can be considered as an adjunctive treatment.

-Jowls below the cheekbones (Bulldog Cheeks)

Over time, the downward descent of fat in the cheek area is a common sign of mid-facial aging. FX focuses on reducing the amount of this unwanted fat.

By enhancing skin elasticity with FORMA, it can help create a more refined and lifted facial contour.

-Cheeks and Sides of the Face

Enlarged pores, fine lines, or rough skin texture can be seen as phenomena that occur as the collagen density in the dermal layer decreases.

FORMA activates fibroblasts with thermal energy, aiding in collagen and elastin production. This can positively impact the density and texture of the skin surface.

-Loss of Jawline Definition

A blurred jawline is often primarily caused by a loss of skin elasticity rather than fat. In such cases, FORMA can be used to focus on the dermal layer, inducing collagen contraction and production.

If needed, combining with FX treatment can further help in sharpening the contour.

-Delicate Areas such as Around the Eyes, Forehead, and Mouth

These areas are prone to fine lines and have characteristics of thin, sensitive skin.

FORMA can achieve skin improvement even with relatively lower energy, making it a suitable option for these sensitive areas.

*Understanding InMode Treatments

The results of InMode treatments are not solely determined by merely owning the equipment.

The essence of the treatment lies in the selection of the handpiece, appropriate depth of heat delivery, total accumulated energy, and personalized application considering the individual's skin condition.

For example, with FORMA treatment,

Collagen production cannot be expected by merely feeling warmth on the skin.

In reality, a temperature of 42-43 degrees Celsius must be consistently maintained within the dermal layer for at least 10 minutes.

When an accumulated energy of 8-12kJ or more is sufficiently delivered per area, fibroblasts are activated, which can induce collagen production.

A similar principle applies to FX. Rather than just simple radiofrequency application, when vacuum suction and thermal energy are applied together,

Deep heat of 42 degrees Celsius or more must be delivered for at least 6 minutes to simultaneously expect fat cell breakdown and collagen contraction.

8-15kJ or more of energy must be delivered per area, and especially in areas where the skin is thin or prone to bruising, vacuum pressure adjustment is necessary.

Managing the fat layer with FX first, followed by improving elasticity with FORMA, can be a more efficient approach.

We manage swelling and heat that may occur after the procedure, while delicately refining lifting lines considering skin elasticity.

In conclusion,

When choosing InMode treatment, it's crucial to consider not just the device itself, but also the medical staff's anatomical knowledge, skilled ability to adjust settings, and the creation of a customized treatment plan tailored to each individual patient.

Our medical team adheres to these standards, consistently researching and performing treatments to enhance satisfaction with lifting procedures.

Even with the same InMode treatment, we strive to provide more refined procedures through a customized approach optimized for each individual.

Treatment Steps

Step 1: FX mode utilizes radiofrequency energy and IRE (electrical stimulation) technology to deeply reach from the epidermis to the SMAS layer. This can help reduce unwanted fat and promote collagen production, contributing to a smoother improvement in facial contours.

Step 2: FORMA mode delivers precise thermal energy to the dermal layer, stimulating collagen production. This can help increase overall skin elasticity and improve fine wrinkles.

All treatment procedures are performed directly by our medical staff.
