This is a procedure note for When do InMode results appear? When do Forma results appear? at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
When Can You Feel the Effects of InMode?
When considering an InMode Forma treatment, a question often comes to mind first.
It's about when InMode effects start to appear and how long they last.
Forma is a lifting treatment that delivers monopolar RF (radiofrequency) energy deep into the dermal layer to stimulate collagen regeneration.
Since thermal stimulation works progressively within the skin, it's important to understand the timing of the effects in stages.

Immediately After Treatment — Immediate Changes Are Perceptible
The most prominent feature of Forma is that immediate changes are perceptible right after the treatment.
The contraction of dermal collagen fibers by monopolar RF thermal energy occurs immediately during and after the treatment.
Many patients feel their skin texture refined and their contours more visible as soon as they get up from the treatment bed.
This immediate response is a key difference distinguishing Forma from Shurink (a HIFU-based treatment).
While Shurink focuses on cumulative collagen production, resulting in relatively weaker immediate sensation, Forma shows a strong immediate response due to RF thermal contraction.


1-2 Weeks Later — Collagen Regeneration Actively Begins
After the immediate response following treatment, the collagen regeneration phase actively progresses in weeks 1-2.
This is when fibroblasts in the dermal layer, stimulated by RF heat, begin to synthesize new collagen.
From this point, changes such as improved skin elasticity and increased facial volume are gradually felt.
When asked when the effects of InMode are most noticeable, this 1-2 week period is considered the first peak.


4-12 Weeks — Cumulative Results Stabilize
Collagen regeneration continues for up to 12 weeks after the treatment.
As newly synthesized collagen accumulates throughout the dermal layer, the lifting effect progressively deepens.
Many patients feel that 'the effects are now fully visible' around weeks 4-8, and the results reach a stable state around week 12.
This progression — immediate response → collagen regeneration → stabilization — is the accurate timeline for when InMode effects appear.

Forma vs. Shurink: What's the Difference?
Forma uses an RF (radiofrequency) method, while Shurink uses a HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) method.
While Forma evenly delivers thermal energy from the surface to the dermal layer, Shurink focuses strong energy at specific depths.
If you desire immediate changes, Forma is advantageous, and if deep stimulation of the SMAS layer is your goal, combining it with Shurink is also an option.

Here's How Kkeut Clinic's InMode Forma Is Different
Kkeut Clinic charges based on the actual amount of energy injected.
After the treatment, we directly show clients the amount of energy injected. This method verifies results with numerical data, not just sensation.
Kkeut Clinic always performs face design in a sitting position before lifting treatments.
Facial contours differ between lying down and sitting up. Designing while sitting allows for precise targeting, matching the face as it appears in daily life.
Kkeut Clinic creates and shares a lifting card after treatment. This records which areas were treated with what energy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. When do you start to feel the effects of InMode?
A. The effects of InMode begin immediately after treatment. An immediate response occurs due to RF thermal contraction, collagen regeneration becomes active after 1-2 weeks, and results stabilize over 4-12 weeks.
Q. When can I resume daily activities after Forma treatment?
A. Forma is a non-invasive RF treatment, so there is almost no recovery period. You can return to daily life on the day of treatment, and any redness subsides within a few hours. Kkeut Clinic will provide post-treatment precautions.
Q. How long do the effects of InMode Forma last?
A. While it varies depending on individual skin condition and care methods, effects generally last about 6 months to 1 year. The longevity of InMode effects can be extended with regular maintenance.
Q. Which should I choose: Shurink or Forma?
A. If you desire immediate changes right after treatment, Forma is suitable. If deep lifting of the SMAS layer is your goal, Shurink or a combination is recommended. Kkeut Clinic offers personalized recommendations based on your skin condition through consultation.
