Hello!
I'm Dr. Cho Hyuk-chan, head physician at Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu.
If you've clicked on this article, you probably have similar concerns.
Fat accumulated under the chin, sagging lines around the mouth. It's not that you've gained weight, but
your face looks heavy, and you feel like it wasn't like this before...
Most people who seek InMode come to us with these concerns.
So today, I'm going to talk honestly about InMode.
Especially if you don't have much fat on your face, you should definitely read this!
What kind of procedure is InMode?
I often explain to patients that InMode is a 'tool for sculpting the face'.
Because it trims away unnecessary parts and firms up the flat areas.
InMode is a device that uses heat called radiofrequency (RF) energy.
The crucial difference from other lifting devices is that it alternates between 'two modes'
to address the root cause of your concerns twice.
One mode slims down 'thick fat', and the other
tightens 'loose skin'.
To help you understand, I've summarized the differences between the two modes in a table, focusing on what patients feel during the procedure.
✨The reason for mixing the two modes appropriately is simple.
It's not just about losing fat to make your face look beautiful, but the area where the fat is lost
must adhere perfectly so that patients finally achieve the
'small and slim face'
they desire.What effects can you achieve with InMode at Uijeongbu Cleor?
Fat Reduction
Reduces double chin and sharpens the jawline
Smooths out the marionette lines protruding from the sides of the mouth
Reduces buccal fat, making the overall face look smaller
Lifting & Tightening
Firms up sagging cheeks due to gravity
Tightens loose skin
Prevents the area where fat has been removed from sagging
Skin Quality Improvement
Reduces fine lines around the eyes and mouth through collagen regeneration
Makes pores less noticeable and improves skin texture
It's natural because it fills with your own collagen
Is one session enough?
There are effects. But one session is a 'start', not a 'finish'.
It takes 2-4 weeks for the destroyed fat to be eliminated. After about a month,
you'll start to feel "My lines are more defined?"
The cycle I recommend is
3 sessions at one-month intervalsFirst 3 sessions (Intensive Phase): Targets fat and replenishes collagen at 3-4 week intervals
Afterwards (Maintenance Phase): Manage as needed once every 6 months to 1 year
Why did I say 'don't get it recklessly'?InMode is a good device, but greed is a no-no.
Especially for
those who don't have much fat on their face
is the problem.If you only have sagging concerns but receive excessive Mini FX, your cheeks may look hollow,resulting in the opposite effect of making your impression look sharp.
At this point, you might be thinking, "Should I not get InMode?"
No. You can set the mode and energy differently depending on your face shape and fat thickness, and if you don't have much fat,
you can reduce Mini FX and focus on FORMA.
We do not recommend strong or frequent treatments.
The results can be completely different depending on how you set up the same InMode.
Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu directly touches the face before the procedure,
checks the fat thickness, and carefully adjusts the mode ratio and
energy intensity to match the patient's face shape.
Please be sure to pay attention after the InMode procedure!
Maintain a warm temperature (most important!)
InMode is a procedure that burns fat with heat.
For 3 days after the procedure, avoid washing your face with cold water and wash with lukewarm water. (Cold packs are also prohibited!)
Leave bruises and swelling as they are
Bruises from Mini FX mode usually disappear in
3-7 daysIf you rub or massage to remove them quickly, it can irritate the skin.
Avoid hot places for a weekAlcohol, cigarettes, saunas, jjimjilbangs, and strenuous exercise can cause skin inflammation, soplease refrain for just one week.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Q. How long does the procedure take?
Mini FX + FORMA (Full Face): If both modes are performed,
the pure procedure time is about 20-30 minutes
Selection procedure by area (e.g., double chin only): When focusing only on a specific area,
it can be shortened to around 10-15 minutes.
Q. I'm worried about 'cheek hollowing' after InMode.
This is probably the part you're most worried about.In fact, cheek hollowing is not a problem with the device, but a'design problem'.
If you apply Mini FX mode excessively to areas where there is originally no fat, it may look hollow.So, before the procedure, I directly touch the patient's face and
avoid areas where there is no fat, and proceed with a customized design focusing on areas where fat is thick, such as the double chin or marionette lines.
Q. What's the difference between Shurink (Ulthera)?
Shurink uses ultrasound, and InMode uses radiofrequency.Shurink focuses on lifting by targeting the SMAS layer,and InMode can reduce fat and improve elasticity at the same time.InMode is more suitable for those with a lot of fat and sagging,
and Shurink may be more suitable for those whose main concern is sagging rather than fat.Q. What procedures are good to do with InMode?
If you want a small face effect, it is good to do it in combination with facial contouring injections or jaw botox.
Some people also get it with Shurink if they want a stronger lifting effect.Q. Is the procedure very painful? Do I need anesthesia?
InMode is not a very painful procedure.
Most procedures are performed without separate anesthesia because you only feel a hot sensation.
However, you may flinch when you feel a tingling electrical stimulation in areas where there is no fat,
but a skilled doctor will finely adjust the temperature in real time while observing the patient's reaction.
There is more than one way to become beautiful.
The important thing is to find the method that suits your skin right now.

Q. 시술 많이 아픈가요? 마취하나요?
인모드는 통증이 아주 심한 시술은 아닙니다.
뜨거운 열감이 느껴지는 정도라 별도의 마취 없이
진행하는 경우가 대부분입니다.
다만 살이 없는 부위에 찌릿한 전기 자극이 올 때
움찔하실 수 있는데 숙련된 의사라면 환자분의 반응을 보며
실시간으로 온도를 세밀하게 조절해 드릴 거예요.
아름다워지는 방법은 한 가지가 아닙니다.
중요한 건 지금 내 피부에 맞는 방법을 찾는 일이죠.
