How long do the results last?

Fat cells destroyed by MiniFX do not regenerate, so that change is essentially permanent, while the firmness and collagen improvement from FORMA is generally reported to last about 12 months, or longer with maintenance. Results may vary from person to person due to aging and lifestyle.

Is it painful? Do I need anesthesia?

FORMA feels mainly like a warm massaging sensation with little pain, while FX can feel somewhat hot due to the vacuum suction and momentary heat. It is usually done without anesthesia, but a numbing cream can be used if you are sensitive; perceived pain may vary from person to person.

Is there any downtime?

You can resume daily activities immediately. FORMA has almost no recovery period, while the FX mode may occasionally leave redness, swelling, or bruising for a few days up to 1 to 2 weeks that resolves naturally. Recovery patterns may vary from person to person.

How many sessions do I need?

Because it takes time for the fat cells to be metabolized and cleared, a series of about 3 sessions at 3-to-4-week intervals is recommended, followed by maintenance as needed. The number of sessions required may vary from person to person.

When will I notice the results?

You may feel some tightening from the vacuum suction right after the treatment, but changes from collagen remodeling and fat reduction appear gradually over several weeks. The timing may vary from person to person.

InMode Benefits, Price & Reviews | Seye Clinic Gangnam

InMode

With radiofrequency (RF) energy and high voltage electrical stimulation (HVP) to reduce unwanted fat cells and stimulate collagen production and elastin regeneration. lifting procedure Fx: Destruction of fat by sucking the skin under negative pressure and delivering high frequency energy and high voltage electric current. Eliminates double chin, improves jawline, etc. Forma : Delivers high-frequency energy by massaging the handpiece to the treatment area and The delivered heat energy stimulates the surrounding skin cells to improve skin elasticity, skin texture, collagen regeneration, etc.

Is this your concern?

😟My cheeks and double chin are sagging, so my facial line looks heavy.

😟I want to firm up loose skin without any surgery.

😟I'm looking for a lifting treatment with little downtime.

😟As my skin loses firmness, fine lines and enlarged pores bother me too.

😟I want to reduce localized fat while keeping my skin taut.

😟I need a treatment I can receive comfortably without strong pain.

Procedure Info

Duration

Depending on the area and mode, the session takes about 10 to 30 minutes. A single-mode full-face treatment (FX or FORMA) typically takes around 10 minutes, while combining both modes takes roughly 20 minutes.

Recovery

You can return to daily life right after the treatment. FORMA has virtually no recovery period, while the FX mode may occasionally leave mild redness, swelling, or bruising from the vacuum suction for a few days up to 1 to 2 weeks before it fades naturally.

Anesthesia

The treatment is usually performed without anesthesia. If you are sensitive to pain, a numbing cream can be applied beforehand, so please consult our medical team.

Frequency

A series of about 3 sessions at intervals of roughly 3 to 4 weeks is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions based on your individual condition.

What is InMode?

InMode is a multi-application, energy-based platform developed by InMode Ltd. of Israel that combines two distinct handpieces to improve skin firmness and manage localized fat in a single lifting treatment. Its two representative modes are FORMA, which uses radiofrequency (RF) thermal energy, and MiniFX, which delivers high-voltage pulses (HVP) after vacuum suction. At Seye Clinic, our medical team tailors the treatment as FORMA alone, FX alone, or a combined two-mode program according to your target area and skin condition.

How the Treatment Works

FORMA and MiniFX work through different energy mechanisms. FORMA delivers bipolar RF thermal energy into the dermis, heating it to around 43°C; this causes collagen to contract and reorganize, and over time it stimulates collagen and elastin production so that skin firmness improves. MiniFX first uses vacuum suction to hold the treatment area securely, then applies high-voltage pulses of about 2,000V (electroporation) to induce apoptosis of subcutaneous fat cells. Here, the RF heat does not travel down to the SMAS layer; instead, the vacuum suction pulls the skin toward the SMAS, creating a firm, tightened lifting sensation. Directly targeting the SMAS layer is the domain of HIFU (ultrasound, e.g., Ulthera), whereas InMode's RF acts on the dermis and subcutaneous layers.

Key Benefits

A slimmer facial contour as localized fat cells (double chin, cheeks) are reduced
An immediate tightening sensation and smoother skin texture from vacuum suction
Softened fine lines and enlarged pores as collagen and elastin production is stimulated
A non-invasive approach with short downtime and natural-looking change

Those who want to refine a facial contour affected by a double chin, cheek fat, or a sagging jawline
Those who want to firm loose skin without surgery
Those who want to reduce localized fat while maintaining skin firmness

InMode at Seye Clinic

At Seye Clinic, we begin with a consultation to assess your concern areas, skin condition, and fat volume, then propose the most suitable configuration among FORMA, FX, and the two-mode program. For those who want both contour refinement and firming, we suggest the combined two-mode program; for those who mainly need firming, we recommend a FORMA-focused plan. Our medical team adjusts the intensity and number of sessions individually so the treatment proceeds comfortably, and we provide detailed aftercare guidance.

FAQ

A single-mode full-face treatment takes about 10 minutes, and combining both modes usually takes around 20 minutes, up to about 30 minutes depending on the area and intensity. Treatment time and intensity may vary from person to person.

Aftercare

Please inform our medical team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have metal implants or implanted electronic devices (such as a pacemaker) in the treatment area.

If there is inflammation, an open wound, infection, or severe acne in the treatment area, it is best to proceed after the skin has recovered.

Avoid heat-raising activities such as saunas, hot rooms, and intense exercise on the day of the treatment.

Apply sunscreen diligently and reduce exposure to strong sunlight after the treatment.

Redness or swelling may occur after treatment, so postpone the use of irritating cosmetics for a while.

Support skin recovery with adequate hydration and moisturizing.

Let our medical team know during the consultation about any underlying conditions or medications you are taking.

Because results and recovery speed vary from person to person, please follow the recommended treatment intervals and aftercare guidance.
