What is InMode (FX / Forma)?
InMode is a radiofrequency platform with two handpieces: FX (vacuum-assisted high-voltage RF that reduces small fat pockets such as double chin and jowls) and Forma (surface RF that tightens skin without suction). It is a widely used budget lifting option in Korea.
Who is it for?
People in their 20s to 40s with a double chin, soft jowls, or mild cheek fullness who want a sharper jawline, and anyone who wants a quick firming boost before an event.
How does it work?
FX sucks the skin into the tip and delivers RF heat into the fat layer, destroying fat cells which the body clears over 2–4 weeks. Forma glides over the skin heating the dermis to 42–43°C for collagen contraction.

Aftercare (clinic instructions)
- Wash your face with lukewarm water and avoid cold water for approximately 3 days to help retain the heat delivered during treatment for longer.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least approximately 1 week, as they may interfere with skin recovery and cause inflammation.
- Your skin may feel dry after treatment. Apply moisturizer and skin repair cream more diligently than usual.
- Avoid vigorously rubbing bruised areas or receiving deep-pressure massage that irritates the skin for approximately 2 weeks.
How many sessions and how often?
At least 3 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, are generally recommended, followed by maintenance treatments depending on your skin condition.
