Facial aging appears not only as wrinkles but also as a combination of reduced skin elasticity, sagging, and changes in facial contours.

These are natural phenomena caused by a decrease in collagen within the dermal layer. To effectively address aging, it is important to target the deeper layers of the skin to improve elasticity from within.

Various laser lifting procedures offered in dermatology clinics improve skin elasticity both inside and out through non-invasive methods without incisions.

Among them, InMode lifting uses radiofrequency (RF) thermal energy and operates through two modes—Mini FX and Forma—to improve overall sagging by tightening the skin and removing unnecessary fat.

InMode lifting delivers high-intensity RF energy as electrical stimulation to the dermal and fascial layers, improving sagging skin and refining uneven facial contours.

Since each individual has different skin conditions and levels of aging, it is essential to undergo sufficient consultation to determine the appropriate mode, number of shots, and energy levels for the procedure.

The Mini FX mode is effective for reducing fat cells. It selectively targets and breaks down fat concentrated in areas such as the cheeks and double chin, helping to remove sagging and clumped fat caused by aging and creating a smoother, more defined V-line contour.

On the other hand, overall skin sagging can be improved with the Forma mode. By delivering RF energy to both the dermis and epidermis, it stimulates collagen regeneration, increases skin density, enhances volume, and improves overall elasticity.

InMode lifting should always be performed after thorough consultation with a medical professional, with a fully customized one-on-one treatment plan.

Excessive energy levels or an overly high number of shots during the RF treatment may overstimulate the skin, and excessive fat reduction may lead to undesired hollowing, particularly in the cheeks.

Therefore, it is important to carefully assess the amount and distribution of fat, as well as the current condition of wrinkles and skin elasticity, before establishing a treatment plan. When necessary, combining the procedure with contour injections may further enhance results, creating a smoother and more refined facial line.

Kim Hyun-joo, director at DA Plastic Surgery Clinic, explained, “InMode lifting is a non-incisional, non-invasive procedure that allows patients to return to daily life with minimal discomfort while expecting quick results, making repeat treatments 부담-free. However, since factors such as skin thickness, sensitivity, and degree of elasticity loss vary from person to person, it is essential to establish a treatment plan through thorough consultation.”
