How do you choose a good place for Inmode in Gangnam, Yangjae, and Songpa?
**Q. What criteria should I use to find a good place for Inmode?
Inmode FX and Forma procedures require different energy intensities and handling methods depending on individual facial shape, fat layer thickness, and skin elasticity. Therefore, even with the same equipment, the proficiency of medical staff and the execution method of the procedure directly affect the results. Since there are many clinics with similar equipment in Gangnam, Yangjae, and Songpa, it is more reasonable to compare based on the following three criteria rather than equipment names.
• Whether the director performs the procedure directly — Verify if the person conducting the consultation and the person performing the procedure are the same director.
• 1:1 private treatment environment — Check if it is a private single room rather than a shared space.
• Transparent pricing policy operation — Confirm in advance whether VAT and anesthesia fees are included, and check that the procedure is conducted without additional costs.
The perfection of a procedure is determined by the execution method and personalized individual design rather than equipment ownership alone. If you confirm these three criteria first before choosing a clinic, you can expect more satisfactory results.
What is the difference between Inmode FX and Forma?
When searching for Inmode, two modes appear: "FX" and "Forma." Since they are the same device but work on different layers and have different purposes, it is important to first understand which mode suits your concerns.
| Distinction | Mini FX Mode | Forma Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Mode of Action | Negative pressure suction followed by high voltage stimulation (HVP) transmission | Handpiece massage method of heat energy transmission |
| Main Target | Fat layer (up to SMAS layer) | Dermis and epidermis |
| Core Effects | Fat cell apoptosis → Reduction of double chin and cheek fat + lifting | Collagen and elastin regeneration → Improved elasticity and fine wrinkles |
| Procedure Feeling | Pulling sensation during suction, varies by individual | Thermal massage sensation, almost painless |
| Main Target Patients | Aimed at reducing fat in double chin, cheek fat, and deep cheek fat | Aimed at improving overall loss of elasticity, fine wrinkles, and skin texture |
The Mini FX mode applies 2,000V of high-voltage energy to the fat layer instantaneously after suctioning the skin with negative pressure, causing fat cell apoptosis, and simultaneously induces a lifting effect by pulling up to the SMAS layer. The Forma mode transmits heat energy to the dermis through handpiece massage, heating the skin surface to approximately 43 degrees, which is known to promote collagen reformation. According to Doctor Now information, both modes have received FDA approval from the United States, and have a built-in safety device that checks epidermis temperature in real-time 1,000 times per second during the procedure to minimize adverse reactions such as burns and blisters.
**When do the effects appear?
According to related clinical data, you may feel a slight tightening sensation immediately after the procedure, and from 2 to 4 weeks later, skin elasticity and contour changes can be confirmed through collagen regeneration, and the lifting effect is known to be maximized after 2 to 3 months. The duration of effect maintenance can vary depending on an individual's lifestyle habits and skin condition.
If the main goal is reducing fat in double chin or cheek fat, it is effective to plan the procedure focusing on FX mode, and if the goal is overall improvement of elasticity and fine wrinkles, it is effective to plan focusing on Forma mode. Of course, a combined approach using both modes can also be reviewed through consultation.

Things you must check before the procedure
Be sure to check the following items before Inmode treatment. Since the FX and Forma ratio and energy intensity can vary depending on individual skin characteristics and fat layer thickness, it is advisable to make decisions after a 1:1 specialist consultation rather than self-judgment.
✅ Self-check list before procedure
• If you are pregnant or have a pacemaker or metal implant, the procedure may be restricted, so be sure to inform the medical staff during consultation.
• Those with certain underlying medical conditions need sufficient prior consultation with medical staff before the procedure.
• It is helpful to clarify in advance whether the purpose of the procedure is fat reduction (double chin, cheek fat) or improvement of elasticity and fine wrinkles for more efficient consultation.
• Since energy intensity and number of treatments can vary depending on skin condition, it is helpful to bring photos or records of previous treatments.
⚠️ Precautions after procedure
• According to related clinical data, it is recommended to avoid saunas, jjimjilbangs (Korean spas), and intense exercise for 1 week after the procedure.
• According to Doctor Now information, since Inmode is a procedure that induces collagen production through heat, it is best to avoid cooling acts such as cold compresses on the day of the procedure.
• During FX mode treatment, bruising may temporarily occur as the handpiece suctions the skin with negative pressure. This is a reaction that naturally disappears within a few days for most people.
• Lukewarm water cleansing is recommended for 3 days after the procedure, and be sure to apply sunscreen and moisturizer thoroughly.
Reactions may vary depending on constitution and symptom severity.

You might be curious about these things
**Q1. Should I get Inmode FX or Forma first?
If the main goal is fat reduction like double chin or cheek fat, FX mode is often recommended first, and if overall loss of elasticity and fine wrinkles are concerns, Forma mode is often recommended first. There is also a way to combine both modes, but since the optimal combination varies depending on individual facial shape and skin condition, it is better to decide through specialist consultation.
**Q2. When do Inmode effects appear and how long do they last?
You may feel a tightening sensation immediately after the procedure, and significant changes begin to appear from 2 to 4 weeks later as collagen regeneration progresses. The lifting effect is maximized after 2 to 3 months, and the maintenance period varies by individual depending on lifestyle habits and skin condition.
**Q3. Can Inmode cause severe bruising after treatment?
FX mode can cause temporary bruising during the process of suctioning the skin with negative pressure. However, it does not occur identically in all patients, and even if bruising occurs, it naturally disappears within 3-7 days for most people. If you inform the medical staff of your skin characteristics during pre-consultation, more careful management is possible.
**Q4. Can I get Inmode together with Shrink or Ultherapy?
It is known that combining high-intensity focused ultrasound lifting methods like Ultherapy with Inmode can provide both facial fat reduction and skin elasticity improvement effects. However, whether to proceed with combined treatment varies depending on skin condition and purpose, so it is safe to decide after specialist consultation.
**Q5. What is the cost of Inmode treatment in Gangnam and Yangjae?
It varies depending on treatment area, number of treatments, and event application. Shinyu clinic currently operates Inmode FX or Forma 1 area at ₩99,000 (including VAT for customers who have added Shinyu Clinic as a friend on Kakao Channel @신유외과) limited to Wednesdays and Thursdays.
