Honest Treatment and Precise Energy Delivery – FX & FORMA Quantitative Treatment

InMode's FX mode (fat reduction) and FORMA mode (collagen lifting) have a predetermined maximum output. Therefore, sufficient treatment time and energy are crucial for effective results.

For FX mode, we use a device time of 6 minutes or more, and for FORMA mode, we base our treatments on an energy value of 10K or more.

We diligently perform treatments, adhering to the prescribed energy and time for each patient. Our practice is built on trust.

At our clinic, all procedures are personally performed by medical professionals. We prioritize patient safety and strive for systematic treatments.

FX Mode: Achieve results with our expertise in maintaining and increasing optimal temperature.

For effective management of fat cells during FX treatment, the temperature of the treated area must reach and be maintained above a certain level.

We focus on quickly raising and maintaining the temperature of the treated area while minimizing pain.

To achieve this, we meticulously adjust the output settings, suction pressure, handpiece movement speed, treatment sequence, and skin response during the procedure.

-We use appropriate output to efficiently deliver energy, which can help increase the temperature of the treated area.

-We appropriately adjust the pulse duration. By extending the time high-frequency energy is delivered to the skin, we help the temperature of the treated area rise more effectively.

-We check the temperature on the back of the hand during treatment. In addition to the InMode device's real-time temperature measurement function, our medical staff directly and carefully checks the temperature of the patient's treated area with their hand to reduce pain discomfort.

-We adjust the handpiece movement speed for each treated area. In the initial stage of the treatment, heat is evenly distributed across the entire skin, and then the temperature is intensively raised in areas requiring fat management. This approach helps reduce pain while expecting positive treatment results.

Meticulously Designed Treatment – A Delicate Approach to Minimize Cheek Hollows

Since FX treatment targets fat cells, individual facial design before the procedure is extremely important.

Careless procedures can lead to undesirable results such as cheek hollowing. Therefore, we meticulously discuss and design the treatment with the medical team, focusing on asymmetrical areas or areas of concern.

We comprehensively consider the patient's face shape, fat volume, and other factors to achieve more natural results.

Swelling Management – Reducing Recovery Burden with Dangguisusan Prescription.

After InMode treatment, some individuals may experience swelling or bruising.

We provide 'Dangguisusan,' an oriental medicine prescription that can help alleviate such swelling or bruising, at no additional cost. This can aid in the patient's recovery.

We aim to reduce concerns about swelling and help you return to daily life more comfortably.

Post-Treatment Quantitative Verification – A Transparent and Reliable Treatment Process

After the treatment is completed, we directly show patients the actual treatment time, energy input, and other quantitative details to verify the procedure. This helps build trust in the accuracy of the treatment process.

Understanding InMode Treatment

*Radiofrequency (RF) lifting is generally categorized into one of two methods.

1. Monopolar Method

The monopolar method generates radiofrequency energy from one electrode and retrieves the energy through a separate grounding pad.

This method allows energy to reach deep into the skin, easily producing a deep heating effect, but some may feel a relatively strong sensation during the treatment.

2. Bipolar Method

The bipolar method involves energy circulating between two electrodes, primarily characterized by concentrating heat on the skin's surface and in the dermal layer.

While it offers the advantages of less pain and greater stability, there may be limitations in delivering energy to deeper tissues like the fat layer.

*What is the principle behind InMode FX mode being able to target the fat layer despite being a bipolar method?

As previously explained, it is generally difficult to deliver energy deep into the fat layer with typical bipolar methods.

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

The key reason for this is its vacuum suction function.

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

When high-frequency energy is delivered in this suctioned state, heat can effectively reach deep tissues, including 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 are then naturally expelled from the body through the lymphatic system. Simultaneously, an effect of promoting new collagen production in the dermal layer can also be expected.

As a result, this treatment can be expected to achieve both fat reduction and improved skin elasticity simultaneously.

Expected Effects of InMode FX Treatment

1. Fat Cell Breakdown

FX applies consistent radiofrequency heat (42-45 degrees Celsius or higher) to the target area for at least 6 minutes, which can damage fat cell membranes.

Afterward, the contents of the damaged cells are naturally expelled from the body through lymphatic circulation.

As it targets such fat reduction, it can be considered for areas with significant fat accumulation, such as the cheeks or double chin.

2. Collagen Production Induction

In addition to the fat breakdown process, thermal stimulation is delivered to the dermis, which can activate fibroblasts that produce collagen.

During this process, existing collagen fibers may show a contraction response, leading to an immediate skin tightening effect.

Expected Effects of InMode FORMA Treatment

FORMA is a radiofrequency treatment that focuses on the superficial dermal layer of the skin rather than the fat layer.

It works by gently gliding along the skin surface, delivering heat at 42-43 degrees Celsius.

This temperature stimulates fibroblasts, which can help improve various skin concerns such as fine lines, enlarged pores, and reduced skin elasticity.

One of FORMA's features is its real-time temperature feedback system, which is a key advantage in maintaining stable temperatures during treatment.

This helps promote collagen production with consistent thermal energy without excessive heat damage to the skin surface.

Immediately after the treatment, you may feel a sensation of skin tightening, and new collagen is gradually produced over approximately 2 to 6 weeks.

FX and FORMA: Which Areas Are Best Suited?

Issues in different areas, such as skin sagging or fat accumulation, have various underlying causes.

-Double Chin

A double chin often becomes prominent due to significant subcutaneous fat accumulation or reduced muscle elasticity under the chin.

FX can help reduce fat cells by concentrating radiofrequency heat on the fat layer in this area and tighten the skin under the chin through collagen production.

If the skin is thin or severely lacking elasticity, it is also beneficial to combine FORMA as a complementary treatment.

-Cheeks Below the Cheekbones (Jowls)

The sagging of fat in the cheek area with age is a common sign of mid-face aging. By using FX to control unwanted fat volume,

and reinforcing skin elasticity with FORMA, you can expect improved, more lifted facial contours.

-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 can help activate fibroblasts through thermal stimulation to induce collagen and elastin production, improving skin surface density and texture.

-Jawline

When a once sharp jawline becomes less defined, reduced skin elasticity is often the primary cause rather than fat volume. In such cases, FORMA can act on the dermis to induce collagen contraction and regeneration,

and if necessary, FX can be used concurrently to achieve a more defined contour.

-Eye Area, Forehead, Mouth Area

These areas are characterized by thin, sensitive skin, making them prone to fine lines.

FORMA can help achieve desired effects even with relatively lower output, making it suitable for these sensitive areas.

InMode Treatment: How Should It Be Performed?

InMode treatment does not guarantee satisfactory results simply by possessing the device.

Selecting the appropriate handpiece considering the treatment area and individual skin condition, ensuring proper heat delivery depth, and controlling sufficient cumulative energy are crucial.

For example, in the case of FORMA treatment,

collagen is not actively produced just because a warm sensation is felt.

In fact, the dermal temperature must be maintained in the range of 42-43 degrees Celsius for at least 10 minutes,

and fibroblasts are sufficiently stimulated to effectively produce collagen when cumulative energy of 8-12kJ or more is delivered per area.

The FX treatment also doesn't simply deliver high-frequency energy. It proceeds by delivering thermal energy along with vacuum suction.

Deep heat exceeding 42 degrees Celsius must reach deep into the skin for over 6 minutes to act on fat cells and induce collagen contraction.

Energy of 8-15kJ or more must be adjusted and applied per area, depending on individual skin thickness and susceptibility to bruising. Vacuum pressure adjustment is also a crucial part of this.

It can be more beneficial to first target fat reduction with the FX treatment, followed by a finishing lifting procedure with FORMA.

This is because it helps manage any remaining swelling or thermal reactions after the treatment, while simultaneously contributing to a smoother facial contour.

Therefore,

When choosing an InMode treatment, factors such as the medical professional's anatomical understanding, their ability to adjust device settings, and their skill in developing a personalized treatment plan are more crucial than the equipment itself.

Based on these principles, our medical team continuously strives and researches to provide suitable lifting treatments tailored to each individual.

Even with the same InMode treatment, we aim to add subtle differences to the results through the medical team's expertise and delicate approach.

Treatment Guide

Stage 1 FX uses high-energy radiofrequency and IRE (electrical stimulation) technology together to deliver energy from the skin surface to the SMAS layer. This can help reduce unwanted fat and induce collagen production, aiding in facial contour management.

Stage 2 FORMA intensively delivers thermal energy to the dermis layer, stimulating collagen production. This can contribute to wrinkle improvement and enhanced skin elasticity.

All treatment procedures are performed directly by our medical professionals.
