[Health Column] InMode Procedure Complete Guide: Simultaneous Fat Breakdown and Skin Tightening

Director Choi Woo-hyuk

 

 

Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk.

 

Inmode is a procedure that uses the latest radiofrequency (RF) technology to break down fat beneath the skin and improve elasticity. This procedure is effective in reducing jowls, double chin, and lower facial fat while tightening and lifting the skin. It is a product and brand name of the company Modu, and is regarded as an innovative device in the field of skin beauty.

 

 

1. How InMode Works

InMode delivers high-frequency current of 2000V to the skin to break down fat. This technology heats the skin with high-frequency waves while destroying fat cells with high-voltage current, inducing collagen regeneration and tightening effects. It effectively transmits high-frequency waves by vacuuming the skin, and some devices use needles to deliver high-frequency currents deep into the skin.

 

 

 

 

2. People suitable for InMode

We recommend the Inmode procedure for people with a bit of fat on their face and good skin elasticity. Combining it with dieting can maximize the effects, as this procedure quickly raises the skin temperature above 39°C and maintains this high temperature for an extended period to achieve the best results.

 

 

3. Procedure effects and number of procedures

With a single InMode procedure, you can expect to lose approximately 1 to 1.5 kg, and after 2 to 3 sessions, about 3 to 5 kg of weight loss can be anticipated. The key is maintaining your weight after the procedure. To sustain these effects over the long term, proper weight management is essential.

 

 

 

 

4. Side effects and precautions to be aware of

InMode procedures are generally safe, but rarely, burns or bruising may occur. Burns can manifest as superficial burns or pigmentation, and bruising occurs in about 1-5% of patients, which can last up to a week in severe cases. The more intense the procedure, the greater the pain may be, and cream anesthesia or sedation may be required.

 

 

 

 

5. Items to Avoid

People with little fat on their face, decreased skin elasticity, and dryness should avoid Inmode procedures. Individuals with these characteristics may experience minimal effects from the treatment. Additionally, if both elasticity and fat are lacking, the results may be less effective, so considering alternative options is recommended.

 

 

6. Pre- and post-care

While no special pre-treatment is required for InMode procedures, maintaining weight and self-care after the procedure is important. Using products that help maintain skin elasticity can be beneficial. After the procedure, combining home care (such as tongue exercises and jawline massages) with diet management and exercise can help maximize the effects of the treatment.

 

 

 

 

 

To see definitive results with just one session, it is essential to have 'strong energy + long duration + precise design + pain control.' Do not just look at the price; you should consider the treatment intensity, duration, pain management, and the doctor's skill level comprehensively when choosing a procedure.

 

Highly recommended for those seeking facial fat removal and improved elasticity, but self-care is essential!

 

Inmode procedures can be an effective choice for those seeking healthy beauty. If you're interested, consult with a specialist to see if it's suitable for you.
