Power InMode Lifting [From fat concerns to reduced elasticity]

Adherence to Precise Treatment Standards – FX & FORMA Energy Management

Both InMode's FX (fat cell destruction) and FORMA (collagen regeneration) treatments have predefined maximum output standards. To achieve sufficient results, it is crucial to use the specified time and energy levels.

For FX treatments, we strictly adhere to a device operation time of 6 minutes or more, and for FORMA treatments, a device energy value of 10K or higher.

Prioritizing treatment integrity, we perform clear procedures rather than using less energy than actually required.

All treatments are personally performed by our medical staff, striving for our patients' safety and satisfactory results.

Key to FX Treatment – Expertise for Rapid Temperature Increase

For the FX mode to be effective in promoting fat breakdown, the skin temperature must reach a certain level or higher.

We utilize delicate techniques to quickly achieve and maintain the necessary temperature during treatment while minimizing discomfort.

We carefully adjust the device's output, suction pressure, treatment speed, sequence, and skin response to carry out the procedure.

We actively utilize sufficient output within the permissible range, focusing on rapidly raising the skin temperature.

By increasing the pulse duration to ensure sufficient time for radiofrequency energy delivery to the skin, we induce a more efficient temperature rise.

In addition to the InMode device's real-time temperature monitoring, our medical staff personally checks the temperature of the treatment area with their hands, minimizing any discomfort felt by the patient.

We adjust the moving speed according to each treatment area. Initially, heat is evenly distributed, then we concentrate on areas with more fat or specific concerns to increase the temperature, reducing discomfort and helping the treatment effects manifest.

Careful Design – Delicacy to Minimize Cheek Hollowing

Since FX treatment works by reducing fat, a careful design process before the procedure is extremely important.

Through thorough consultation with our medical staff, we reduce the possibility of facial asymmetry or hollowing in specific areas and meticulously plan the treatment.

Considering each individual's facial shape and fat distribution, we strive for more natural and satisfying results.

Recovery Management – Swelling Relief with Dangguisusan Prescription

After InMode treatment, swelling or bruising may occur depending on the individual.

To help alleviate such swelling and bruising, we provide the traditional Korean medicine prescription 'Dangguisusan' at no additional cost, supporting a smooth recovery process.

Through this, you can reduce concerns about swelling and expect a relatively quick return to daily life.

Transparency of Treatment Process – Quantity Verification System

After the treatment, we directly confirm to the patient that the actual treatment time and energy input adhered to the standards. This is our commitment to accurate and reliable treatment.

Our InMode Treatment

*Radiofrequency (RF) lifting methods are broadly divided into two types.

1. Monopolar Method

It operates by delivering energy from one electrode and collecting it through a pad attached to the body.

The energy reaches deep tissues, resulting in a significant deep heating effect, but some strong sensation may be felt during the treatment.

2. Bipolar Method

Energy circulates between two electrodes, so heat is primarily concentrated on the skin surface and the dermis.

While it generally involves less pain, heat finds it relatively difficult to reach deeper fat layers.

*How does InMode FX work on the fat layer despite being bipolar?

As explained earlier, the bipolar method generally finds it difficult for energy to reach the fat layer.

However, InMode FX possesses a special structure that allows it to effectively act on the fat layer despite being bipolar.

This is thanks to its vacuum suction function.

By gently suctioning the skin, the subcutaneous fat layer is positioned closer to the electrodes,

and in this state, by delivering radiofrequency energy, heat penetrates into deeper layers despite it being a bipolar method.

Through this treatment method, fat cells are damaged at a temperature of around 42-45 degrees Celsius,

and the damaged fat cells are expelled from the body via lymphatic circulation. Simultaneously, collagen production in the dermis is promoted,

allowing for both fat reduction and improved skin elasticity.

Features of InMode FX

1. Targets Fat Cells

When a consistent heat of 42-45 degrees Celsius or higher is delivered into the skin for at least 6 minutes, changes occur in the cell membranes of fat cells.

Subsequently, the contents of the damaged fat cells can be expelled from the body through the lymphatic system.

This fat breakdown mechanism can be considered for areas with a high amount of fat, such as facial cheeks or a double chin.

2. Induces Collagen Production

During the process of heat delivery to fat cells, the skin's dermal layer is also stimulated. This stimulation can activate fibroblasts, inducing new collagen production.

At the same time, existing collagen fibers can contract, which can lead to a temporary skin tightening effect.

Features of InMode FORMA

FORMA is a radiofrequency treatment primarily targeting the dermis, which is shallower than the fat layer.

The handpiece is gently moved along the skin surface, delivering heat at 42-43 degrees Celsius.

When fibroblasts are stimulated by this temperature, it can help improve fine lines, enlarged pores, and reduced elasticity.

The FORMA device features a real-time temperature feedback system, offering the advantage of stable temperature maintenance during treatment.

This prevents excessive heating of the skin surface while promoting collagen production with consistent heat.

Immediately after the treatment, you may feel a tightening sensation in the skin, and the collagen regeneration process typically unfolds over 2 to 6 weeks.

FX and FORMA: Which Areas Are Best for Treatment?

Sagging or fat concerns in each area have various causes.

-Double Chin

A double chin primarily occurs due to excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat under the chin or weakness of the muscles around the jaw.

FX delivers radiofrequency heat to the fat layer in this area, inducing changes in fat cells and helping to tighten the skin under the chin through collagen production.

If the skin is thin or shows prominent loss of elasticity, combining FORMA as a complementary treatment can be considered.

-Cheeks Below Zygoma (Jowls)

This phenomenon occurs as the fat in the cheek area sags downwards with age. By controlling unnecessary fat with FX,

and reinforcing skin elasticity with FORMA, a more refined facial contour can be expected.

-Cheeks/Side Cheeks

Enlarged pores, fine lines, and rough skin texture are deeply related to decreased collagen density in the dermal layer.

FORMA helps activate fibroblasts through thermal stimulation, inducing collagen and elastin production, and can improve skin surface density and texture.

-Jawline

A loss of a distinct jawline is often due to decreased skin elasticity rather than fat. In such cases, FORMA focuses on the dermal layer to induce collagen contraction and regeneration,

and if necessary, FX can be combined to further enhance contour definition.

-Eye Area, Forehead, Mouth Area

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

FORMA can achieve improvement effects with relatively low energy, making it suitable for these delicate areas.

Considerations for InMode Treatment

The outcome of InMode treatment is not solely determined by merely owning the equipment.

It is crucial to apply the appropriate handpiece combination, heat energy delivery depth, and sufficient cumulative energy based on the patient's individual skin condition.

For example, in the case of FORMA treatment,

collagen production does not actively occur simply because the skin feels warm.

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

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

FX treatment is not just a simple high-frequency irradiation method; it delivers thermal energy with vacuum suction.

This process involves delivering deep heat of 42 degrees Celsius or higher for over 6 minutes to reach deep into the skin, aiding in fat breakdown and collagen contraction.

Considering the characteristics of the treatment area, energy of 8-15kJ or more is applied, and for areas with thin skin or prone to bruising, the vacuum pressure must be finely adjusted.

It can be more effective to manage fat first with InMode FX mode, followed by a finishing lift with Forma (FORMA) mode.

This approach helps control swelling or heat that may remain after the treatment, while also subtly refining the face's lifting lines.

Therefore,

It is good to remember that InMode treatment not only depends on the equipment's performance but also on the medical staff's anatomical understanding, their ability to operate settings, and their capacity for personalized design tailored to each individual.

Our medical institution adheres to the principles mentioned above and constantly conducts research to provide lifting treatments suitable for each individual.

Even for the same InMode treatment, we strive to provide an even more satisfying experience through the practitioner's skilled techniques.

Treatment Overview

Step 1 FX: Uses high-energy radiofrequency and IRE (electrical stimulation) technology together to deliver deep energy from the epidermis to the SMAS layer. This can help manage unwanted fat and induce collagen regeneration, contributing to improved facial contours.

Step 2 FORMA: Delivers concentrated thermal energy to the dermal layer to promote collagen production. Through this, you can expect effects such as improving fine wrinkles and enhancing skin elasticity.

All treatment procedures are performed directly by experienced medical staff.
