InMode Laser vs. FX Forma: A Comprehensive Comparison Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

InMode Laser is often mentioned for concerns like double chin and sagging skin, but it actually consists of two different handpieces: FX and Forma.

Since both names belong to the same InMode brand, many people often confuse them as if they were a single treatment.

The two handpieces are completely different, from the skin layers they target to their purposes.

The InMode laser series is a radiofrequency-based device developed by InMode, an Israeli company.

The FX handpiece uses radiofrequency energy without needles to raise the temperature of the subcutaneous fat layer to over 40 degrees Celsius.

Fat cells do not react at normal body temperature; their destruction only begins when this temperature range is reached.

It works by delivering high-voltage pulses to destroy fat cell membranes once the temperature has sufficiently risen.

This is why it's suitable for areas with a thick fat layer, such as a double chin, jowls, or sagging cheek fat.

It is also used to reduce unwanted fat volume and create a slimmer facial line without surgery.

The Forma handpiece uniformly heats the dermal layer, not the fat layer, with surface radiofrequency.

It's characterized by continuous, low-intensity heat delivery, making each session comfortable.

It stimulates collagen and elastin production through continuous heat delivery, without needles or pulses.

This method focuses on improving skin texture and elasticity, rather than fat reduction.

If concerns include enlarged pores, fine wrinkles, or sagging skin texture, Forma is often the preferred choice.

The key to InMode laser treatment is selecting the appropriate handpiece based on the area of concern, such as double chin, jowls, skin elasticity, or pores.

In summary, FX is needle-free radiofrequency for fat reduction, and Forma is surface radiofrequency for lifting, meaning their target layers are different.

This is why FX is more suitable if a double chin is your concern, and Forma if skin elasticity or pores are your concern.

It is also common to perform both handpieces on the same day to manage both fat reduction and skin elasticity simultaneously.

FX typically recommends cumulative treatments of about 5 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart.

The actual energy delivery time per area must be maintained for at least 6 minutes to expect fat reduction effects.

Forma is often performed over multiple sessions at similar intervals, aligning with the collagen response cycle in the dermal layer.

Due to its safety design, FX is equipped with a thermal sensor that checks skin temperature 1000 times per second, ensuring clear temperature limits.

As a rule, FX does not use anesthetic cream.

This is because anesthesia can cause you to miss pain responses that indicate a risk of burns.

Bruising may occur during the vacuum suction process, but the extent of bruising is unrelated to the treatment's effectiveness.

Forma, being a surface heating method, results in less pain and almost no downtime.

Due to the nature of the device, rather than expecting dramatic changes from a single session, a consistent accumulation of energy within a safe range is necessary.

There's a rumor that washing your face with cold water after InMode laser treatment reduces its effectiveness.

The fat cell destruction stimulated by FX is a process that is already complete during the treatment itself, so it's unrelated to facial washing temperature.

The claim that prolonged heat retention after treatment leads to better results is also incorrect.

Bruising that occurs during downtime varies by individual skin type and usually disappears within 3 days to 2 weeks.

Kkeut Clinic's Unique InMode Laser Operation Know-How

Both FX and Forma are devices with intricate safety features, but even with the same equipment, results can vary significantly depending on the design and energy delivery method.

Kkeut Clinic only charges for the actual energy delivery time during FX treatments.

The time spent turning on the device or moving the handpiece is not charged.

After treatment, clients can directly verify the pure irradiation time recorded on the device monitor.

This allows clients to visually compare irradiation times before and after treatment, increasing trust.

Kkeut Clinic always designs the InMode laser treatment while the client is in a seated position.

In the seated position, only the sagging fat that needs to be removed is precisely identified and targeted.

This leads to precise removal of only the sagging fat, while avoiding the side effect of cheek hollowing.

Results only possible at Kkeut Oriental Clinic

Kkeut Oriental Clinic focuses on rapidly raising the temperature during the initial stages of treatment.

After reaching the target temperature, the pulse duration is shortened to increase the HVP treatment ratio.

This is why the efficiency of fat cell apoptosis differs, even with the same treatment time.

Even with the same 6-minute treatment, the high-density treatment design leads to more efficient fat cell apoptosis results.

Kkeut Oriental Clinic records and shares the total energy injected and actual treatment time on the lifting card on the day of the procedure.

This ensures seamless, error-free treatment, no matter which branch you visit for your next session.

From the patient's perspective, treatment history is consistently maintained without omissions, allowing for consistent management on subsequent visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Which is better for a double chin, InMode Laser FX or Forma?

A. For thick fat layers, such as a double chin, InMode Laser FX is more suitable. Forma primarily focuses on superficial dermal heating, making it better for improving skin elasticity.

Q. Is InMode Laser effective with just one session?

A. While you will see changes after one session, InMode Laser FX typically recommends around 5 cumulative sessions, and Forma also shows clearer results with multiple sessions.

Q. Is InMode Laser treatment painful?

A. InMode Laser FX is generally performed without anesthesia, so you may feel warmth and a tingling sensation, but it is tolerable. Forma involves superficial heating, so it is generally less painful.

Q. If I bruise after InMode Laser, does it mean the effect is better?

A. No, that's not the case. Bruising from InMode Laser FX is merely a side effect of the vacuum suction process. The actual effectiveness depends on how precisely the temperature and pulses targeted the fat cells.

Q. Can I receive both InMode Laser FX and Forma at the same time?

A. InMode Laser FX and Forma target different layers, so they can be combined. For those who want both double chin improvement and skin elasticity management, they can be performed on the same day.
