😰 Are you choosing the wrong InMode treatment?

When you tell a beauty clinic, “I want to get InMode!”,

have you ever experienced something like this?

Counselor: “Which would you like, InMode FX or Forma?” 

You: “Huh… they’re different???”

In fact, InMode has several different types,

and each one has completely different effects and purposes!

This time, we’ll explain the differences between the often-confused “InMode FX” and “InMode Forma”

in a way that’s easier to understand than anywhere else.

🤔 A Common Misunderstanding

“Aren’t all InMode treatments the same?”

→ They’re actually very different!

InMode is the name of the device, and it includes multiple modes.

The most common ones are:

• InMode FX: Fat reduction and contour improvement
• インモードForma: For improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles

These two may have similar names, but their approaches and effects are completely different.

So, how exactly do they differ? Let’s take a closer look!

📊 InMode FX vs Forma: A Thorough Comparison

💉 InMode FX: Specialized in Fat Reduction

Recommended for those who:

• Are concerned about a double chin
• Want to reduce cheek fat
• Want a sharp V-line
• Want to tighten areas with excess fat

How it works

It destroys fat cells using radiofrequency (RF) and high-voltage pulses.

A needle-tipped applicator is inserted into the skin, delivering energy directly to the dermal and fat layers to reduce fat cells.

Main effects

✅ Double chin reduction ✅ Cheek fat reduction ✅ V-line contouring ✅ Sharper facial contours

Downtime

• Redness and swelling (approximately 1–2 days)
• The treated area may look slightly swollen immediately after the procedure
• Makeup can be applied from the following day

✨ インモードForma: Specialized in Improving Skin Texture

Recommended for those who:

• Are concerned about nasolabial folds
• Want to improve fine lines around the eyes
• Want firmer, more elastic skin
• Tighten without downtime

How it works

RF energy is delivered deep into the skin to promote collagen and elastin production.

Since the skin is warmed from the surface using a specialized handpiece without needles, there is little to no pain or downtime.

Main benefits

✅ Improves nasolabial folds ✅ Reduces crow’s feet ✅ Enhances skin firmness and radiance ✅ Improves overall skin quality

Downtime

• Almost none
• You can resume daily activities immediately after the treatment
• Little to no redness

🔥 Why combination treatments are popular

“If I reduce fat with FX, won’t my skin become saggy…?”

Yes, we completely understand that concern!

Worried about skin sagging with fat reduction alone…

That’s why combining FX and Forma can create a more natural and beautiful result.

Benefits of combining treatments

✓ Achieve fat reduction + skin tightening at the same time Reduce fat with FX while tightening the skin with Forma

✓ A more natural and beautiful result Not just slimmer, but with a firm and youthful appearance

✓ Longer-lasting results The synergistic effect helps results last longer than with either treatment alone

This “FX + Forma” combination has become a standard treatment option at Korean aesthetic clinics.

📌 Key Points: What You Should Know Before Undergoing the Treatment

Recommended Number of Treatments

3 treatments at 2–3-week intervals is the standard

You may feel the effects after just one treatment, but multiple sessions are recommended for ideal results.

Duration of Effects

6 months to 1 year

While results vary from person to person, regular maintenance can help prolong the effects.

Treatment Time

• FX: 30–50 minutes
• Forma: 20–40 minutes
• Combined treatment: approximately 60–90 minutes

Pain Level

• FX: Prickling pain (the use of numbing cream is common)
• Forma: A warm sensation (little to no pain)

※ Fees and treatment plans vary by clinic, so please check in advance.
