A clinic that excels in InMode treatments provides precise design. Here's a summary of potential side effects if the design is not properly executed. Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

If you're looking for a good Inmode clinic, there's something you should check before considering equipment availability.

That is, whether the pre-procedure design is properly carried out.

Inmode FX is a procedure that preheats the fat layer to over 40°C with RF high-frequency thermal energy, and then irradiates HVP (High Voltage Pulse) to irreversibly destroy fat cell membranes.

As the effect is powerful, targeting the right areas of fat determines the overall outcome.

4 Side Effects of Procedures Without Proper Design

The first is hollowing of the cheeks.

When you look at your face while lying down, your cheek fat rolls back, making your face appear flatter than it is. If the handpiece is applied in this state, energy will be delivered even to areas where the cheeks should naturally have volume.

This is why cheeks can become sunken after the procedure. It's because not only the fat that needs to be removed, but also the volume that should be preserved, has been affected.

The second is fat asymmetry.

A person's face is naturally not perfectly symmetrical. The location and amount of fat accumulation vary due to chewing habits, sleeping position, skeletal differences, and more. If these differences are not checked in a sitting position and energy is injected into the same area while lying down, post-procedure left-right asymmetry can become more pronounced.

This is where one cheek might reduce appropriately while the other loses too much, or only one side's line becomes sharper.

The third is when the lifting line collapses.

Inmode FX is a procedure that removes fat while simultaneously stimulating collagen in the dermis, offering an expected lifting effect. However, if the boundary between the fat to be removed and the fat to be preserved is unclear, the result can be a collapsed line with sunken mid-cheek areas and an undefined jawline.

For effective lifting, areas where volume should be preserved and areas to be reduced must be clearly distinguished. This distinction can only be accurately made in a sitting position.

Things You Can't See When Lying Down

The fourth is the inability to distinguish between sagging areas and areas that need reduction.

Gravity constantly acts on facial fat. Fat that sags downwards when sitting or standing shifts backward when lying down. In other words, the face an aesthetician sees when a patient is lying down and the face the patient encounters in daily life have different fat distributions.

Sagging buccal fat, cheek fat that pulls down the corners of the mouth, and the form of a double chin are only accurately revealed when gravity is acting on the face in a sitting position. If the treatment area is determined without observing this state, a reversal occurs where areas that should be removed are left untouched, and areas that should not be disturbed are stimulated.

Why Kkeut Clinic Designs While Sitting

Kkeut Clinic always performs a seated design (design in a sitting position) before Inmode FX treatment.

With the patient in a sitting position and gravity acting on their face, we directly identify sagging areas and locations where fat has accumulated. We then mark the target areas for removal and the boundaries for volume preservation before proceeding with the treatment.

This process allows us to avoid areas prone to hollowing and precisely target only the sagging fat.

Kkeut Clinic also applies an HVP density maximization technique. In the initial stage of the procedure, the pulse time is set longer to quickly raise the fat layer temperature to 40°C. After reaching the target temperature, the pulse time is shortened to increase the HVP irradiation rate. This is why the efficiency of fat cell apoptosis differs even when treated for the same duration.

Payment is based solely on the pure irradiation time during which energy is actually delivered. Time spent moving the handpiece or waiting is not counted. Patients can directly verify the treatment time recorded on the equipment monitor after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the most important criterion to consider when choosing a good Inmode clinic?

A. The key criterion for a good Inmode clinic is the pre-procedure design process. Be sure to confirm whether the clinic identifies the location of sagging fat and determines the target area while the patient is in a sitting position. Even with the same equipment, the results can be completely different depending on whether design is performed or not.

Q. Can hollowing of the cheeks occur even at a good Inmode clinic?

A. A good Inmode clinic uses seated design to identify and avoid areas where cheek hollowing might occur. Hollowing happens when energy is delivered to areas that need volume, not just the fat to be removed, so accurately defining boundaries during the design phase is crucial.

Q. I'm concerned about left-right asymmetry after Inmode FX treatment.

A. To achieve balanced results without asymmetry, it's essential to first understand the natural left-right fat distribution differences in the face while in a sitting position. Kkeut Clinic identifies these differences during the seated design phase and sets different target areas for each side.

Kkeut Clinic's Sincerity

Kkeut Clinic provides Inmode FX treatment with clear targets by separating sagging fat and areas at risk of hollowing, all identified through seated design with gravity acting on the face.

Kkeut Clinic implements the HVP density maximization technique to achieve higher fat cell apoptosis efficiency in the same amount of time, and operates a transparent payment system where patients can directly confirm the treatment time after the procedure.

Kkeut Clinic records the total energy (KJ) delivered, actual treatment time, and concentrated target areas on a lifting card. This system ensures seamless and accurate follow-up treatments regardless of which branch a patient visits.
