[Facial Fat Reduction, Balancing, Elasticity Enhancement] Power InMode Lifting

Honest Treatment and Precise Energy Delivery: FX & FORMA Measured Treatment

InMode treatments set a maximum output range for both FX (fat reduction) and FORMA (collagen lifting) modes. To achieve sufficient results from these two modes, it is crucial to use appropriate time and energy.

We adhere to treatment protocols of 6 minutes or more for FX mode (device setting time) and an energy value of 10K or more for FORMA mode.

We aim for an honest treatment process, rather than injecting less energy than actually needed, as is sometimes seen with self-timer methods.

All treatments are performed directly by our medical staff to ensure safety and to help you achieve excellent results.

Temperature Elevation Know-How for Enhanced FX Treatment Efficacy

To effectively break down fat with FX mode, the treated area must reach a certain temperature or higher.

To minimize discomfort and quickly raise and maintain the optimal temperature,

we meticulously adjust the output, suction pressure, treatment speed and sequence, and even the skin's response during the procedure.

During treatment, we use an appropriate power output to ensure energy is delivered effectively and the temperature rises quickly.

We ensure sufficient pulse duration (radiofrequency injection time). This increases the energy delivery time through the tip, helping to reach the target temperature faster.

During the procedure, in addition to the InMode device's real-time temperature check, our medical staff also meticulously monitors the treatment area's temperature using the back of their hand. This allows us to minimize discomfort and pain as much as possible.

We adjust the tip movement speed for each area. Initially, we treat to ensure even heat distribution across the entire skin, then focus on areas of concern or those with more fat to increase the temperature. This approach helps us achieve treatment effects while reducing the burden of pain.

Thorough Design and Meticulous Treatment Considering Individual Facial Shapes

Since FX mode involves reducing fat, careful design of the facial contours before treatment is very important.

Excessive treatment in unnecessary areas can lead to hollowing of the cheeks. Therefore, we proceed with treatment only after a thorough consultation with our medical staff to precisely design areas of asymmetry or concern.

We meticulously analyze each individual's facial shape and fat distribution to design a treatment that ensures natural and harmonious changes.

Post-Treatment Swelling Management: Recovery Support through Dangguisusan Prescription

Temporary swelling or bruising may occur after InMode treatment.

We provide 'Dangguisusan,' a traditional herbal prescription that helps alleviate swelling and bruising, at no additional cost to assist with your recovery process.

This prescription can help reduce the burden of post-treatment swelling, allowing for a more comfortable return to daily life.

Transparent Process Guidance Through Post-Treatment Quantitative Verification

Once the treatment is complete, we directly show patients that the actual treatment time and energy delivered met our standards. This is to build trust in our precise treatment process and the expected results.

Understanding InMode Treatment

*Radiofrequency (RF) lifting can be broadly categorized into two operating modes.

1. Monopolar Method (Monopolar)

This structure involves energy generated from one electrode being recovered through a pad attached to the body.

The energy reaches deep skin tissues, resulting in a relatively strong deep-heating effect, which may cause a slight sensation of stimulation.

2. Bipolar Method (Bipolar)

This method involves radiofrequency energy circulating between two electrodes, primarily concentrating energy on the skin surface and dermal layer.

While this method is relatively less painful, the energy may have difficulty reaching deeper fat layers.

*InMode FX uses a bipolar method, yet how does it work on the fat layer?

As explained earlier, conventional bipolar methods generally struggle to deliver sufficient energy to the fat layer.

However, InMode FX possesses a special structure that allows it to affect the fat layer, despite using a bipolar method.

The core principle lies in its vacuum suction function.

The InMode FX handpiece gently suctions the skin with a vacuum, stably positioning the skin layer and subcutaneous fat layer between the two electrodes.

In this state, when radiofrequency energy is delivered, it helps the thermal energy effectively penetrate the fat layer, despite being a bipolar method.

Through this treatment method, fat cells can undergo denaturation at a specific temperature of approximately 42-45 degrees Celsius,

and subsequently be expelled from the body via the lymphatic system. Concurrently, in the dermal layer, you can expect the effect of increased collagen production.

Through this, you can expect two simultaneous benefits: fat reduction and improved skin elasticity.

Key Features of InMode FX Treatment

Action to help reduce fat

When a constant heat of 42-45 degrees Celsius or higher is maintained for approximately 6 minutes or more, damage can occur to the membranes of fat cells.

The substances within the damaged fat cells gradually exit the body through lymphatic circulation.

This treatment focuses on improving excessive fat tissue, so it can be considered for areas with a large amount of fat, such as facial jowls or a double chin.

Collagen production that helps skin elasticity

During the process of heat transfer to fat tissue, fibroblasts in the dermal layer of the skin are also stimulated. This can help create new collagen.

You may also immediately experience a feeling of skin tightening through the contraction of existing collagen fibers.

Features of InMode FORMA Treatment

FORMA is a radiofrequency treatment method that focuses on the dermal layer, which is closer to the surface than the fat layer.

This treatment gently moves over the skin surface, delivering heat of 42-43 degrees Celsius to the skin tissue.

The delivered heat stimulates fibroblasts, which can help improve fine lines, prominent pores, and reduced skin elasticity.

FORMA has the advantage of maintaining stable heat because the skin temperature is checked in real-time during the treatment.

This allows us to focus on inducing collagen production at a consistent temperature while minimizing excessive heat damage to the skin.

Immediately after the treatment, the skin may feel temporarily contracted, and collagen regeneration gradually proceeds over approximately 2-6 weeks.

FX and FORMA, which areas are best for application?

Sagging or fat accumulation issues in various parts of the face can arise from several causes.

Double chin

A double chin tends to be prominent primarily when there is excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat or when the elasticity of the muscles under the chin decreases.

FX helps reduce the volume of fat cells by delivering high-frequency heat to the fat layer in the double chin area, and it can be expected to improve the elasticity of the skin under the chin by inducing collagen production.

If the skin is thin or accompanied by reduced elasticity, using FORMA treatment as an auxiliary measure can also be considered.

Jowls below the cheekbones (Bulldog jowls)

The descent of fat in the cheek area with age is one of the typical signs of mid-face aging. FX treatment can focus on reducing excessive fat volume.

If FORMA is combined with this to strengthen skin elasticity, even more positive effects on facial contour improvement can be expected.

Cheeks, side cheeks

Enlarged pores, fine lines, and rough skin texture are phenomena that occur when the collagen density in the dermal layer decreases.

FORMA treatment can stimulate fibroblasts through thermal stimulation, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. This can help improve the density and texture of the skin surface.

Jawline

A blurry jawline, which was once sharp, is often caused more by reduced skin elasticity than by fat. In this case, using FORMA to induce collagen contraction and regeneration in the dermal layer can be considered.

If some fat is also present, combining it with FX treatment can lead to even clearer contour improvement.

Around the eyes, forehead, mouth

These areas are prone to fine lines, and the skin can be relatively thin and sensitive.

FORMA can stimulate the skin with relatively low energy to induce fibroblast activation, making it a suitable option for these sensitive areas.

InMode Treatment Approach

Achieving satisfactory results with InMode treatment is difficult by simply owning the equipment.

The key is a customized treatment plan that meticulously assesses each patient's skin condition, carefully adjusting the appropriate handpiece combination, heat delivery depth, and accumulated energy.

For example, during FORMA treatment,

Simply warming the skin is not enough to induce collagen production.

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

Furthermore, a cumulative energy of 8-12 kJ or more must be delivered per area for fibroblasts to be effectively stimulated and produce collagen.

FX treatment differs from a method that simply delivers high-frequency energy only. Thermal energy is delivered to the skin in combination with vacuum suction.

When heat exceeding 42 degrees Celsius is maintained deep within the skin for more than 6 minutes, changes occur in the fat layer, and collagen contraction can also be expected.

The amount of energy required can be 8~15kJ or more, depending on the characteristics of the treatment area. It is especially important to carefully adjust the vacuum pressure for areas with thin skin or those prone to bruising.

The method of first targeting the fat layer with FX, then completing the lifting treatment with FORMA, can create synergy.

This method helps control swelling and thermal reactions that may occur after treatment, while also offering the advantage of more delicately refining facial contours.

Therefore,

When considering InMode treatment, it is advisable to keep in mind that the anatomical knowledge of the medical staff performing the procedure, their ability to adjust detailed settings, and their skill in personalized design are more important factors than the equipment itself.

Our clinic performs treatments based on these principles, consistently contemplating and striving for lifting results suitable for each individual.

Even for the same InMode treatment, we will strive to provide satisfactory results through a delicate approach.

Treatment Guide

Step 1 FX treatment uses high-energy radiofrequency and IRE (electrical stimulation) technology together, aiming for overall facial lifting from the epidermis to the SMAS layer. This can help reduce excessive fat and induce collagen production, contributing to the refinement of facial contours.

Step 2 FORMA delivers thermal energy to the dermal layer, stimulating collagen production and helping to reduce fine wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.

All procedures are performed directly by medical staff.
