Choosing Gangnam InMode FX FORMA | Effects and Precautions Summary
2026-07-28
InMode is a treatment that simultaneously manages fat reduction and skin elasticity using high-frequency waves.
If fat is your concern, FX is recommended; if sagging and fine lines are your worries, FORMA is the way to go.
By customizing the layering of both according to individual skin types, you can expect a clearer facial line.
Hello, this is Derna Clinic.
Have you ever been surprised by your jawline when you looked in the mirror in the morning or took a selfie, feeling like it’s not what it used to be? You might not have gained weight, but it seems like your facial fat is sagging, especially with the bulging submental fat or double chin that appears when you lower your head, causing stress for many.
This is likely why 'Gangnam InMode' is searched so frequently in Gangnam, where many people are sensitive to trends and meticulous about self-care. The desire to define the jawline without the burden of surgery is strong.
Today, I would like to share why InMode continues to be loved and what to check before choosing a lifting treatment.
Why is 'Gangnam InMode' so popular?
Gangnam has a high concentration of clinics, which raises customer expectations. Rather than just looking for a low price, they prioritize how meticulously the treatment is tailored to their facial shape. The reason Gangnam InMode remains popular is clear: it offers the dual benefits of unnecessary fat reduction and skin elasticity improvement.
Especially in busy daily life, a long recovery period can be troublesome, but InMode's ability to allow for normal activities post-treatment is a significant attraction. When you want your facial line to look refined before an important meeting, date, or wedding, InMode becomes a popular and reliable option.
Which to choose: Gangnam InMode FX or FORMA for my concerns?
InMode is broadly divided into two modes. The choice depends on which part of your face is a concern.
💛FX Mode
[Managing Double Chin, Submental Fat, and Unwanted Fat]
If you are concerned about the heavy fat that you can grab under your chin, FX mode is suitable. It is used to reduce fat cells through high-frequency energy and high-voltage electric stimulation (HVP). It is particularly effective for managing double chins that make the jawline look dull and submental fat next to the mouth.
💛FORMA Mode
[Improving Skin Texture and Elasticity Lifting]
This mode is suitable for those whose skin is sagging or who are concerned about fine lines rather than fat. It helps create an environment for collagen production by gently heating the skin surface to 43 degrees. After the treatment, you can expect improved skin elasticity and smoother skin texture. Derna Clinic customizes the layering of these two modes according to individual facial shapes and fat amounts to delicately adjust the facial line that has been a concern.
Checklist Before Choosing 'Gangnam InMode'
Just because everyone uses the same equipment doesn’t mean the results will be the same. There are points to check for satisfactory results.
🟡Sufficient Treatment Time
InMode requires heat to reach a certain temperature for positive effects to appear. Too short a treatment time can reduce satisfaction.
🟡Detailed Design
Everyone has different amounts of fat and sagging on the left and right sides. If this is not considered during treatment, asymmetry may occur.
🟡Skilled Handpiece Control
InMode delivers energy by suctioning the skin (negative pressure), so it is essential to distinguish between thin and thick skin areas and adjust the intensity accordingly. Derna Clinic focuses on treatment to ensure beautiful lines follow your facial curves, rather than just operating the equipment.
Post-Treatment Care: Please Follow These Guidelines!
Here are some simple tips to enhance the effects of InMode and minimize bruising.
🟡Maintain Temperature
The longer the heat energy delivered after treatment is maintained, the more it can help with collagen regeneration. Please avoid washing your face with cold water or using cooling packs on the day of treatment. It is recommended to wash your face lightly with lukewarm water.
🟡Moisturizing and Sun Protection
Since strong heat is delivered, the skin may temporarily become dry. Please apply plenty of moisturizing cream and regenerative cream to protect the barrier. Additionally, sunscreen is essential when going out to protect sensitive skin.
One More Thing!
Some may worry about bruising from InMode. Due to the negative pressure of InMode FX, capillaries may be stimulated, leading to temporary red marks or bruises. Typically, these fade naturally within 3 to 7 days, and light makeup can be used to cover them from the day of treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does Gangnam InMode cost per area?
The cost of InMode varies greatly depending on the treatment area (full face/partial), mode (FX·FORMA) combination, and number of treatments. For an accurate estimate, we recommend visiting for a consultation to assess your skin condition and concerns. You can check Derna Clinic's InMode prices on the event page.
※Events may change or end without notice. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please inquire for detailed information.
Q. How many sessions of InMode are needed to feel the effects?
InMode is more effective when performed multiple times at regular intervals rather than as a one-time treatment. The exact recommended number of sessions and intervals may vary depending on fat amount, skin elasticity, and the area of concern (FX or FORMA mode selection), which can be confirmed during consultation.
Q. How long do the effects of InMode last?
Due to the nature of the treatment that induces collagen production, effects appear gradually and the duration may vary by individual. However, typically, the effects last for 1 to 3 months after one session, and with consistent treatments of 3 or more sessions, they can last longer.
Q. Is InMode treatment painful?
InMode is a treatment that delivers heat to the skin and fat layers using high-frequency energy, and depending on the treatment area or individual pain sensitivity, warmth or tingling may be felt. However, it is generally considered less burdensome compared to treatments requiring anesthesia, and if you are concerned about pain, it is advisable to discuss intensity adjustments during consultation.
Q. How long do bruises or red marks last after InMode treatment?
InMode FX delivers energy through negative pressure (suction), which may stimulate capillaries, leading to temporary bruises or red marks. Typically, these fade naturally within 3 to 7 days, and light makeup can be used to cover them from the day of treatment.
Q. Are there any side effects or burn risks with InMode?
InMode is known to use equipment with real-time temperature monitoring, but since skin thickness varies by area, the level of risk management for burns may differ depending on the skill of the practitioner. Therefore, it is important to receive treatment from an experienced practitioner who can finely adjust the intensity to distinguish between thin and thick skin. If redness persists for a long time or if there is severe pain after treatment, please contact the clinic.
Q. How many days should I be cautious after InMode treatment?
Although it is known as a treatment that allows for daily activities without downtime, it is recommended to avoid washing your face with cold water or cooling immediately after treatment to maintain the heat energy, and to wash your face with lukewarm water. For the following days, paying attention to moisturizing and sun protection can help with skin recovery.
Q. Do I need to receive both InMode FX and FORMA?
It is not necessary to receive both modes; the choice depends on the area of concern. If you are worried about sagging lines due to fat, such as double chins or submental fat, FX mode is suitable. If you are concerned about skin texture or loss of elasticity, FORMA mode is more appropriate. If you have both concerns, it is advisable to decide on the specifics through consultation.
