Inmode Lifting in Gangnam: What Should You Consider?
Hello, I’m Kim Yeon-jin, the director of UH CELL Gangnam.
As the weather warms up, the season for lighter clothing is approaching. When I meet with patients during this time, I often notice a common trend. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of people expressing concerns not just about skin texture or breakouts, but about their facial contours themselves.
“I’ve lost weight, but my face seems to have stayed the same.” “I haven’t gained weight compared to before, but my jawline feels less defined.”
Whenever I hear these comments, there’s one point I consistently explain: the face is an area that cannot be fully explained by changes in body weight alone. For this reason, more and more people are considering Inmode treatments, focusing not just on weight loss but also on facial contouring and firmness.

It is important to first understand facial anatomy.
The face has a complex structure that cannot be explained by fat volume alone. Skin thickness and elasticity, muscle movement, and fat distribution are all interconnected and work together in a complex manner.
For example, even if you feel you have chubby cheeks, the actual cause may be a loss of elasticity or sagging in specific areas. In such cases, it is important to consider the overall balance rather than focusing on just one area. Inmode should be approached in the same context; rather than targeting changes in specific areas alone, it is preferable to consider the flow of the entire facial contour.
The Principles of Inmode and Its Two Modes
Inmode utilizes high-frequency energy to deliver thermal stimulation to the skin and fat layers. Depending on the settings, it can be applied to focus on improving skin texture or to address contouring.
The procedure is not performed identically in every case; the treatment area and intensity may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition, fat distribution, and facial proportions. A more appropriate approach is possible when understanding not just the equipment itself, but also how it is applied.
The FX mode focuses primarily on the fat layer. It uses vacuum suction to deliver energy, focusing on refining volume in specific areas. It is primarily considered for areas requiring contouring, such as the jawline or deep cheek areas. However, since reactions like bruising or swelling may occur, some adjustments may be necessary.
FORMA mode delivers thermal stimulation to the skin’s surface and dermis, focusing on improving elasticity and skin texture. It is often performed with a relatively gentle sensation and is utilized when addressing concerns related to skin density or fine lines.
While these two modes can be applied individually, they are often planned in combination or with adjusted ratios depending on the individual’s condition. Rather than asking which mode is right for you, the more important consideration is how they are combined to suit your current condition.

Is it the same for everyone?
The sensation experienced during the treatment may vary from person to person. You may feel heat or pressure, and the intensity of these sensations can differ depending on the sensitivity of the specific area. Therefore, it is essential to discuss the adjustment range thoroughly with the medical staff. If this is your first time, a gradual approach is recommended rather than starting with an overly intense setting.
After the procedure, temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort when pressed may occur, but these symptoms often improve gradually over time. Since recovery speed varies depending on individual skin reactions and daily routines, it is important to consider this when deciding on the timing of treatment.
Will I see changes in my face right away?
It is advisable to approach expectations regarding changes after InMode treatment with realistic standards. While some may hope for immediate results, in reality, many people notice gradual changes over time. In particular, improvements in skin elasticity tend to appear gradually over a period of time.
For this reason, it is important to view InMode as part of an overall skincare plan rather than judging its effectiveness based on a single session.
Three Things to Consider When Deciding on Inmode
First, make sure you have thoroughly analyzed your facial structure and current condition. Second, check whether the medical facility provides appropriate consultation and treatment planning. Third, confirm that you are guided through the entire process, including post-treatment care.
Inmode utilizes high-frequency energy to deliver thermal stimulation to the skin and fat layers; depending on the settings, it can be used to improve elasticity and refine facial contours. However, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and the approach may vary depending on an individual’s skin condition, fat distribution, and facial proportions.
Approaching the treatment based on these three criteria can help achieve more balanced results. Thank you for reading this lengthy post.
