Distinguishing Feature 1: Honest Treatment, Precise Energy Input – FX & FORMA Quantitative Treatment

Inmode has a set maximum output for both FX (fat breakdown) and FORMA (collagen lifting), requiring sufficient time and energy to achieve desired effects.

For FX, we strictly ensure a device time of 6 minutes or more, and for FORMA, a device energy value of 10K or more during treatment.

Rather than using self-timers that inject less energy than required, Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic excels with honesty.

At Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic, treatments are thoroughly performed directly by medical staff, ensuring safe and effective procedures. There have been cases at other clinics where staff members, not medical professionals, performed treatments, leading to issues.

Distinguishing Feature 2: FX Effectiveness Increases Above a Certain Temperature – Know-how for Rapid Temperature Increase

For FX, the effectiveness increases when the temperature rises above a certain level to break down fat.

To rapidly raise and maintain the temperature without pain, Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic

precisely controls “output, suction pressure, speed, sequence, and skin response” during treatment.

-Utilizes maximum output. Stronger energy supply leads to faster temperature increase.

-Extends the pulse duration during treatment. By increasing the radiofrequency injection time per session, the energy delivery time from the tip lengthens, resulting in a faster temperature increase.

-Checks temperature with the back of the hand. In addition to real-time temperature checks by the InMode device itself, we also check the temperature of the treated area on our clients with the back of our hand during the procedure to minimize pain.

-Adjusts the movement speed per area. Initially, heat is evenly spread across the entire skin. Then, we focus on areas of concern and areas with more fat to raise the temperature, achieving both pain reduction and treatment effectiveness, thereby promising effective results.

Distinguishing Feature 3: Thorough Design Before Treatment – Delicate Adjustment Without Sunken Cheeks

As FX is a fat removal procedure, careful design is essential.

Indiscriminate treatment can lead to sunken cheeks. Therefore, we thoroughly design the treatment with the director to improve asymmetry and address areas of concern.

Considering each individual's face shape and fat volume, we provide natural and ideal results.

Distinguishing Feature 4: Quantity Verification After Treatment – Transparent Procedure

After the treatment, we directly show patients whether the treatment time was accurate and if the correct amount of energy was delivered. We guarantee precise treatment and reliable results.

InMode at Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic

*Radiofrequency (RF) lifting is broadly divided into two methods.

1. Monopolar

This method sends energy from one electrode and retrieves it through a pad attached to the body.

Energy reaches deep tissues, providing a strong deep heat effect, but may cause some sensation.

2. Bipolar

Energy circulates between two electrodes, concentrating on the skin surface and dermis.

It's less painful and safer, but it's relatively difficult for the energy to reach deeper layers (fat layer).

*Why does InMode FX work on the fat layer despite being bipolar?

As mentioned above, with bipolar systems, it is difficult for energy to reach the fat layer.

However, InMode FX has a structure that allows it to work on the fat layer despite being a bipolar system.

The reason lies in its vacuum suction function.

By gently sucking up the skin, it positions the skin and subcutaneous fat layer between the electrodes,

and in this state, when radiofrequency is delivered, heat can penetrate to deeper layers even though it is a bipolar method.

When treated with this method, fat cells are damaged at temperatures of approximately 42-45 degrees Celsius,

and are expelled through the lymphatic system. Simultaneously, collagen production is stimulated in the dermal layer,

allowing for simultaneous fat reduction + elasticity improvement.

*Effects of InMode FX

1. Fat breakdown effect

Maintaining a consistent heat (42-45 degrees Celsius or higher) for at least 6 minutes damages the cell membranes of fat cells due to the heat,

and their contents are released and naturally expelled through the lymphatic system.

As it aims for fat breakdown, it is suitable for areas with a lot of fat, such as facial cheek fat or a double chin.

2. Collagen Regeneration Effect

Simultaneously with fat breakdown, thermal stimulation in the dermal layer activates fibroblasts, leading to the creation of new collagen,

and existing collagen contracts, resulting in an immediate lifting effect.

*Effects of InMode Forma

FORMA is a radiofrequency treatment focused on the dermal layer, which is shallower than the fat layer.

The device is moved gently along the skin surface, delivering heat at 42-43 degrees Celsius,

at which temperature fibroblasts are stimulated, improving fine lines, pores, and loss of elasticity.

The advantage of FORMA is that it features a real-time temperature feedback system, allowing for stable temperature maintenance throughout the treatment.

This means it promotes collagen production with consistent heat without overheating the skin.

Immediately after the treatment, you may feel your skin tightening, and collagen regeneration occurs over the following 2-6 weeks.

*Which areas are best treated with FX and FORMA?

Sagging or fat issues in each area have various causes.

-Double Chin

A double chin typically occurs due to excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat or weakening of the muscles under the chin.

FX targets the fat layer in this area, delivering radiofrequency heat to break down fat cells and tighten the skin under the chin through collagen regeneration.

FORMA is beneficial for adjunctive use when the skin is thin and has significantly lost elasticity.

-Cheek Fat Below the Cheekbones (Jowls)

This is a typical mid-face aging phenomenon where cheek fat sags downwards with age. By reducing unnecessary fat with FX,

and reinforcing elasticity with FORMA, a more lifted facial contour can be achieved.

-Cheeks / Side Cheeks

Enlarged pores, fine lines, and rough skin texture are phenomena caused by a decrease in collagen density in the dermal layer.

FORMA stimulates fibroblasts with thermal energy to induce collagen and elastin production, restoring skin surface density and texture.

-Jawline

When a distinct jawline collapses, it's often due to reduced skin elasticity rather than fat. In such cases, FORMA targets the dermal layer to induce collagen contraction and regeneration,

and if necessary, FX can be combined to sharpen the contour.

-Eye Area, Forehead, Mouth Area

These are areas prone to fine lines, and where the skin is thin and sensitive.

FORMA can achieve sufficient results even with low output, making it suitable for these sensitive areas.

*InMode at Kkeut Clinic

Simply 'owning the machine' does not guarantee the quality of InMode treatment.

What's important is the handpiece combination, heat delivery depth, cumulative energy, and customization tailored to the skin condition.

For example, with FORMA,

collagen is not produced just by feeling a warm sensation.

In reality, a temperature of 42-43 degrees Celsius must be maintained in the dermal layer for at least 10 minutes,

and a cumulative energy of 8-12kJ or more per area must be accumulated for fibroblasts to be stimulated and produce collagen.

Similarly for FX, rather than simple RF irradiation, a combination of vacuum suction and heat is used,

deep heat of over 42 degrees Celsius must be delivered for more than 6 minutes for fat breakdown and collagen contraction to occur simultaneously.

Depending on the area, 8-15kJ or more energy must be applied, and for areas with thin skin or those prone to bruising, the vacuum pressure must also be adjusted.

Furthermore, the method of first targeting fat with FX and then proceeding with a finishing lift using FORMA is much more effective.

This is because it helps manage any residual swelling and heat reaction on your skin, while also refining your lifting lines.

In conclusion,

It's important to remember that choosing an InMode treatment isn't just about the machine itself; the practitioner's understanding of anatomy, their skill in operating the settings, and their ability to customize the treatment are all crucial.

Kkeuthan Clinic adheres to these principles, consistently researching and performing treatments to achieve optimal lifting results.

Even for the same InMode treatment, we strive to deliver a distinctly superior InMode experience to our clients.
